Hi there! My name is Anisa, and I have a deep passion for working with children. Growing up in Jamaica and currently being a college student, I've had the joy of interacting with children from diverse backgrounds, enriching my understanding and approach to childcare. I love working with children because of the joy and energy they bring into the world. There's nothing more fulfilling than witnessing a child's curiosity and creativity blossom. I believe in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where children feel safe and encouraged to explore and learn. I have significant experience in childcare, including babysitting and volunteering. During high school, I volunteered at a nursing home in Jamaica, where I developed essential skills in patience and compassion. Additionally, my academic pursuits have given me valuable insights into child development and effective communication.

I have worked with children from ages infants to eight years olds in a variety of child care settings for over 40 years. I have a masters’ degree in Early Childhood Education from Wheelock College in Boston. I have taken early retirement from a local community college where I was a Professor of ECE for many years. I have a passion for young children and I am amazed and enlightened by their curiosity, creativity, and their constant energy. I love reading to children, process oriented art, singing and dancing and spending as much time outside as possible. I am dedicated to encouraging children to be children and I have an in-depth understanding of typical child development. I am so excited to spend time with young children once again as a part time, occasional Nanny/Sitter.

Hi! My name is Ashley, and I’m a 19-year-old student at Central Connecticut State University. I’m based in New Britain, * I AM DANBURY BASED AS OF MAY.

I pride myself on being a strong multitasker and communicator, and I always prioritize making sure your child feels safe, cared for, and supported.

I’m also happy to help with schoolwork, prepare meals, do light cleaning, and keep kids engaged with fun, hands-on activities.

Hi there, my name is Karen Anderson. I’m a vibrant empty nester and very interested in your job posting. I’ve parented three children of my own - a set of, now adult, biological fraternal twins and I welcomed a much younger child into my family by adoption when she was six years old; she’ll be 19 in June. Years ago, I provided full time day care in my home for the children of friends, while also caring for an aging parent. I’ve also been a licensed foster parent, providing respite care for children awaiting long-term placement. I’m seeking an evening and / or weekend position; full or part time. I’m ready to begin as soon as you need me. I currently live in West Hartford. I’m English speaking. I’m in the process of updating my CPR and First Aid certifications. I’m a non-smoker with a clean driving record. I am also a dog owner, so I won’t mind if you also have fur babies. I’m happy to provide references as well as meet or chat with you via zoom, FaceTime or on the phone. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello, my name is Sarah. I’m 25 years old and currently seeking an after school part-time position where I can bring my energy, creativity, and experience to a warm family environment. I have extensive hands on experience caring for children of different ages and developmental stages, and I take pride in being a reliable, honest, and nurturing caregiver. My approach to childcare blends responsibility with fun. I love spending time outdoors, encouraging imaginative play, and engaging children in creative projects. Cooking and artistic activities are among my favorite hobbies, and I enjoy sharing them with the children I care for. I’m also glad to help with light household tasks such as tidying, laundry, and errands. In addition to general childcare, I have experience supporting children in special education, including those on the spectrum. I strive to be patient and supportive through each stage of a child’s growth. It’s also very important to me to work with an inclusive, LGBTQ+ friendly family that values kindness, respect, and acceptance for all.

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.
