I'm a proud mother of one biological child and three stepchildren. I recently relocated and I'm interested in pursuing what I have a passion for which is caring for children. I absolutely love children and have worked with/ interacted with children since I was a teenager. I began working at KinderCare Learning Center at the age of 18. During that time I cared for children ranging from ages 6 weeks-12 years of age. After my employment at KinderCare ended I continued my passion at a family owned daycare facility called Kidville-Kovar Child Development Center for 2 years where I cared for children ranging from ages 6 weeks to 12 years but mainly with toddlers. During this time I also accepted a part-time job working in a residential living facility working with young adults with mental disorders and developmental delays. I continued this job until the owners decided to close the facility. I was later offered a position at another daycare as a teacher's assistant and administrative assistant where I had the honor of working in the classrooms with children and also working with the office staff. While doing this I also cared for children in my home during my free time. I love working with children and seeing them grow and develop their own little unique personalities.

Hi there... My name is Melanie and I work as an Alzheimers and dementia care Specialist for a large Assisted Living company. While my work is wonderfully rewarding, children are now and always have been my passion. I am a college graduate who has worked with children (many with special needs) for over 25 years. I am fun, energetic and trustworthy and have a number of references who can provide any other information that may be helpful for you. I am first and foremost a Mom of five children. I know first hand what a challenge it is to find that special person with whom you will trust your most precious little one/ones. I am highly skilled in newborn/infant care...everything from diapering, feeding, and bathing to getting the baby on a schedule. I worked as a nanny in Greenwich as my first job out of college. I am a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, so play is my thing! I love singing, reading, building, rocking, cuddling, dancing etc. with all of the special Little’s in my life. More Things I love: My husband, my children, my puppies, my Church, the beach and my friends. Oh and I love to laugh!. I am so looking forward to talking with you about how I can help with with not only your child care needs, but in nurturing and helping your little one feel cherished and special. Thank you taking the time to read about me.

Hi! My name is Gigi and I am a nursing student at Southern Connecticut State University. My deep love for children initially sparked my desire to pursue a career as a pediatric nurse. The thought of being able to make a positive impact on their lives during their formative years is incredibly rewarding to me. I currently work as a CNA with elders I love my job and I love having the ability to take care of those who are in need. I also speak Spanish & English.

Hi! I’m Inyene, but you can also call me Kate! I have been blessed to support children of all ages, from fragile newborns to extraordinary youth with special needs, and I deeply understand the immense patience, endurance, and grace that childcare demands. As a creative writer who has worked in child and youth development, I bring a unique blend of energy, patience, and over 10 years of experience to caregiving. I am fully committed to protecting, listening to, and nurturing the unique capabilities within every child, including organizing age-appropriate fun and entertaining activities to excite and boost learning and social-cognitive skills. Personally, I am a grounded, reliable, punctual, kind, and deeply empathetic person. I don't drink or smoke and have a clean driving record. I am naturally patient, enthusiastic, active, and highly creative, finding joy in small things. In my free time, I enjoy writing, trying new recipes or organizing. When I am babysitting, this translates into me being a very hands-on caregiver. Instead of putting on a movie, I may set up arts-and-crafts projects, read together, try a writing prompt, play imaginative games outside, or follow a strict bedtime routine; I am highly organized and adaptable to your family's needs. Finally, I have no allergies and will treat your furry companions with the utmost love and care! * Please note: I only do ocassionals, date nights, last minutes, weddings, backup sitter (for when your regular can't show due to emergencies!) school pick up emergency, etc. I would consider a short term recurring with a clear start and end date. It'll be a pleasure to work with your beautiful family.

I love working with children their inquisitive attitudes and loads of energy make them a joy to be around. Taking care of children has been my passion. Allowing children to grow, explore and learn is a rewarding experience that keeps me excited as I continue caring for children of all ages. Learning through exploration, art, reading, nature, and outdoor observations offers children a rich experience. Nurturing each child’s interests helps them become strong solid people who respect themselves.
