Hi, my name is Vera. I am a professional caregiver looking for a new family (due to relocation). We might be a good fit together if you are looking for: Someone with years of experience. I have been working as a full-time nanny for over ten years. That experience means I know how to find the right balance with families — providing structure, routine and boundaries for kids so they (and their parents) can thrive while also creating an environment that is fun, spontaneous and loving. Someone dedicated and loyal. I was with my last family for six years. They have three beautiful, active children (9, 6 and 2) that I feel honored to have helped raise. Conner, their mom, told me to write that she, “absolutely, positively, doesn’t know what we’ll do without her”. We have a wonderful relationship and it is only due to an out-of-state relocation that I am leaving them. They have also proactively offered to speak with any families that would be interested. Someone trustworthy and honest. I am a great communicator and take what I do very seriously. Trust takes time to build, but I believe it is vital that every time you leave your children in my care you can feel confident that are being well taken care. Someone loving. The above is what I have learned and honed over years of experience, but experience isn’t needed to always treat children with love and respect. I love children. I love what I do. And I think that comes through each and every day. What I am looking for: I am searching for a family that is looking for a full-time nanny. Ideally Mon-Fri 8-6PM (some flexibility). Ideally located in the Westport, Stamford, Greenwich Darien or Fairfield area. I am happy to care for multiple children and have specific experience with infants. I am also happy to cook meals for the children, arrange playdates and activities. Importantly, I am looking for a family that is interesting in building a relationship that is lasting. Please contact me if you think I might be a good fit for your family.

Hello families! I am great with children of all ages and would love to do what I love most which is watch children learn, grow, develop & hit their milestones. Previous years I have experience working in daycares/day schools, home childcare as well as therapy for children with ASD. The typical age ranges I have experience working with are majority toddlers but anywhere between infant to pre-teen. I am fun, outgoing, reliable & have great communication skills with parents. I will ensure your child’s safety, have fun, and get the job done! I am also CPR certified.

Hi, I’m Emily! I’ve been babysitting for over a decade, starting at 18 when I cared for a family with two young boys and a newborn — eventually becoming their go-to sitter all the way through middle school. Since then, I’ve supported many families with children of all ages, from infants to teens, and have always found joy in creating a safe, engaging, and dependable environment for kids to thrive. Right now, I’m in a flexible phase of my career, which gives me availability during afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My husband and I live locally in Norwalk and are planning to start our own family soon, so I understand the importance of finding someone you can truly trust with your children. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, very comfortable with pets, and known for being both reliable and fun. Whether it’s handling bedtime routines, managing multiple children, or encouraging creative play, I bring a calm, caring, and capable presence to every home I work with.

Eileen was amazing with my son! I hired her for a week to watch my 3yo son during work hours while his school was closed. She communicated well with me from the initial phone interview and throughout the engagement. From the moment she walked in the door she engaged my son. I work remotely and could hear them laughing and having a blast outside and around the house. I loved that she took initiative with him to get him outside and create fun activities for him. She made him lunch each day and got him eating some new things. She practiced Spanish with him. She was confident and proactive and gave me great peace of mind that he was in amazing hands. He looked forward to each day she was watching him and took EPIC naps because he was so tuckered out haha. Eileen became part of our family for the week and we were bummed when the week was over. we look forward to the next time we see her!

I am a 6th grade teacher in Bridgeport and am the mother of an 11 year old boy. I grew up in Greenwich and have lived in on the west coast, in Australia and England over the last 30 years. We have recently moved back to Ct to be closer to my family as my son grows up. I would be happy to take care of your children while you work, travel or just take some free time. I have a flexible schedule after school and on weekends. If the time and situation works well, my son would love to come with me and play with other children around his age too. I have a safe, reliable SUV and am fully insured. I'm happy to take the children out to play in the garden, at the park or the beach, play board games or arts and crafts at home too. I limit my child's screen time and am very happy for yours not to be on them while they are with me either. I have a pediatric first aid certification which I am scheduled to update soon. I have local references in Darien, Fairfield, Trumbull and Greenwich. Please feel free to email or call with any questions.

Leslie watched our toddler for us the day before my sibling’s wedding and she was truly a godsend. She took to our toddler right away and they played all day together. Leslie is patient, calm, and exceedingly kind. She was only with us for a day but she blended right in with our family like she had known us for years. I wish we lived in Connecticut so we could hire her more often.

I am an experienced and dependable caregiver with a lifelong passion for working with children. As a mother of four adult children, I bring both personal and professional experience to my role. I have spent over 20 years working in Faith Formation, currently serving as a Catechist and Program Coordinator, and have also worked as a Sunday school teacher and Religious Education Director. My background includes caring for children of all ages, including those with special needs. I am a former EMT-B and am certified in CPR/AED and First Aid, so safety is always a top priority. I am currently seeking a part-time babysitting position in the late afternoons, evenings, or occasional weekends. I truly enjoy supporting families and creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment for children.

I have been running apartment buildings for the last 30 years. Besides dealing with buildings, I have had to deal with the residents cleaning people, contractors health aides, etc.. Some of which can be less than desirable to have on property. Alice was one of those rare caretakers who I felt lucky to have caring for a 94 year old resident of the 26 unit apartment building I was working at. Other residents of the 7 story building, including our 101 and 102 year old residents, were always happy when Alice was on site. They trusted her and felt safe when she was around. They enjoyed her company and looked forward to seeing her. As I got to know Alice, I fully understood why she was so highly regarded. Integrity, honesty, and her ability to not just listen, but to hear what people where telling her. Then respond to their needs in a compassionate, caring manner. Food shopping, doctors appointments, just getting a senior out in the fresh air etc. It was obvious her presence was greatly valued by the lives she touched. I could go on and on about what a stand out caretaker she was. Sometimes though, less is actually more. Alice is quite simply exceptional. That says it all.
