Leanne R., Child Care in Sterling, CT 06377 with 40 years of paid experience

I believe in the power of nature as a tool for education and love to spend time exploring outdoors, getting messy, and encouraging growth through play. My 40 years of experience include potty training, establishing sleep routines, and encouraging healthy relationships with food. I would describe my personality as silly & energetic and my caregiving style as responsive & respectful. I am kind, patient, and extremely reliable. I am seeking a long term position with 30 or more guaranteed hours that will begin in the fall of 2023. I am a Rhode Island native who now resides across the RI/CT border, and I am open to traveling approx. 20 miles . I am covid vaccinated, with a clean driving record and no criminal background. Prior to nannying, I ran a licensed home daycare in the State of Rhode Island. I have a lifetime of experience to share with you.

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Leanne for any position involving child care or child development. For several years, Leanne served as the nanny to my two children, from infancy through their early childhood years. During this time, she exhibited unparalleled dedication, compassion, and skill in managing the unique and challenging needs of my family. Leanne began caring for my youngest child as an infant, expertly navigating the demanding requirements of early childhood care. She continued this exemplary care until he reached four years old and transitioned to full-time preschool. Simultaneously, she also cared for my older son, from the age of three until he was nearly seven. This dual responsibility showcased Leanne’s exceptional ability to balance the needs of children at different developmental stages. One of the most remarkable aspects of Leanne’s care was her ability to interact with and nurture my nonverbal autistic son. Her patience, understanding, and tailor-made approaches to his needs were nothing short of extraordinary. Her ability to communicate effectively with him, despite the challenges of his nonverbal condition, was a source of relief and comfort to our family. Leanne's professionalism extends beyond her direct interactions with the children. Her decision-making skills are impeccable, and I trusted her judgment implicitly when it came to the well-being of my children. Her calm and composed demeanor, even in the most challenging situations, made her an invaluable presence in our home. She is unflappable, a quality that is essential in the unpredictable world of child care. Moreover, Leanne's versatility and resourcefulness were evident in her ability to manage multiple tasks and adapt to the varying needs of each child. Her commitment to creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment has had a lasting positive impact on my children’s development. In conclusion, Leanne is a remarkable individual whose expertise in child care is exceptional. Her dedication, skill, and compassionate approach make her an outstanding candidate for any position involving the care and development of children. I wholeheartedly recommend her without any reservations and am confident that she will be an asset to any family or organization fortunate enough to work with her

Loryn C., Child Care in Sterling, CT 06377 with 5 years of paid experience

My name is Loryn, and I absolutely love working with children! This is my 3rd year working as a social worker at an elementary school where I primarily work with preschool through 1st grade! In 2021, I graduated with my Master's degree in social work, specializing in school social work. I completed my graduate internship working with children (K-2 and 6-8) in a school setting. During that time, I gained experience working with students in both special education (i.e. autism, ADHD, social emotional needs) as well as in general education, both in person and remotely. I previously was employed as a lead teacher at an educational daycare. There I worked in multiple classes with students ranging from two to five years in age. Overall, I enjoy working with kids of various ages and am so thankful I get to do what I love. Feel free to message me with any questions you have, and I look forward to becoming a babysitter for you and your child!

Taylor O., Child Care in Sterling, CT 06377 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Taylor, and I'm looking to move back into nannying work. I am currently employed as a teacher at a daycare in Warwick, RI. I’ve held the Lead Infant, Preschool, and PreK positions here. I’ve also nannied for a family with three boys (aged 1, 3, and 5) for a year and half, and worked as a Lead Toddler Teacher in Mansfield, MA. I have experience working with children aged 6 weeks to 7 years, and am comfortable working in large group settings as well! Because my daycare experiences provided large amounts of training, I am also experienced in constructing curriculum, and am able to create a customized, age-appropriate curriculum for your child! I love music (I've played piano for 14 years now) and reading. I also enjoy being outside in the sun, so I'm a big fan of games and sports! I just graduated CCRI with an Associates Degree in Earlu Childhood Education, and am taking online classes at SNHU. I'm about to enter my third year, and I'm able to work my school schedule around yours! Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have! Taylor Olsson olssontaylor@yahoo.com

Julia S., Child Care in Sterling, CT 06377 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Julia I am a graduate student with 5 years of childcare experience. I worked on and off for a daycare from 2019-2022 with mostly infants but also toddlers and preschoolers. There I found a love for early childhood education and development. I moved for school and had the privilege of working for a family with a 1 and a half year old for a little. In 2023 I began working with a family with a three year old and a young infant. I absolutely adored them and was with them around 25 hours a week. I was very sad to part with this family due to moving but stay updated with their boys. School drop offs, cooking, cleaning, reading together, park and museum trips and so much more. The rest of my time has gone to school where I currently attend the University of Edinburgh online part-time. Additionally, I am a very active person, adore children and animals, and music. I am a hard-worker and very ambitious and hope you consider me as a nanny!

Emily B., Child Care in Sterling, CT 06377 with 7 years of paid experience

As a young teenager, I babysat my next door neighbors children. A young boy and toddling girl. I babysat for them close to 7 or 8 years. I enjoyed playing outside with them and going on long walks. They each had their favorite activities, the boy playing with train tracks, and the girl was to read books and color in her favorite coloring books. As they grew up they started to become self reliant and were into out of the home sports and activities while I wasn’t able to provide them with transportation. I don’t babysit for them anymore but still have a great relationship with the family!
