Heather B., Child Care in New Bedford, MA 02740 with 20 years of paid experience

My name is Heather, I’m a 49 year old reliable and responsible adult and mom to a beautiful 18 year old daughter . I have 23 years experience as a Professional Nanny caring for children from premature twins / triplets to teenage years.The following are just a few examples of the children I cared for . For 3 years I was sitting for a little boy who is now 6 yrs old . He was 2 months ( premature) when I started caring for him . When the child turned 3 years old, the family felt it was time for him to start daycare/ preschool therefore my last day was on Thursday, 11/30/18. I’ve also cared for twin premature girls full time for approximately 8 months however they had to move due to the family transferring to another country . I also cared for middle school children ( 2 boys and 1 girl ) . Over the past few years ( 2018-present) I have cared for children of all ages including those with developmental disabilities and delays Non child care positions / certifications I’ve held : in 1992 I went to school to get my CNA/ HHA, med certification as well as certifications for Hospice . II decided to go back to school to get my certifications as a Personal Trainer and Nutritional Specialist. Worked with clients in their homes , gym .. and volunteeed at my daughters elementary school where I founded and ran 2 programs called the Healthy Kids Klub - walk to school and kiddie boot camp. Along with sitting now I’m also a distributor for Nu Skin which is done on social media so I make my own hours . My heart is with caring for children however. Helping them reach their milestones no matter which age they are . Knowing that I am / was even a small part of each child’s growth and development throughout the years and watching them grow into intelligent, beautiful ( inside and out ) , caring individuals makes it all worth it! ** References and resume available upon request ** currently in the process of receiving my infant care specialist certification via online ** Currently have open availability including days , evenings, overnights weekends ( date nights and overnights including NYE ! ) ** parents must agree to guaranteed hours ( paid ) / 24 hr cancelation policy for date nights Rates are determined per sittercity calculations and are based on age and number of children, responsibilities, location / distance and experience

Leah S., Child Care in New Bedford, MA 02740 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi there! My name is Leah, and caring for children has always been a natural part of who I am. I’m a proud mom to two wonderful kids (ages 4 and 6), and through raising them, I’ve gained firsthand experience in child development, emotional support, and creating structured yet fun routines. Even long before motherhood, I was the one in my big family who loved spending time with the babies and younger cousins and helping, playing, and soaking up every moment with them. That joy for nurturing and guiding children has only grown stronger over the years. I currently serve as a Kids Ministry Leader at my church, where I plan fun and meaningful lessons, help kids learn about kindness and respect, and create a positive space where they can grow and be themselves. I’ve worked with kids of all ages and personalities, including those with different learning styles and needs, so I’m great at adjusting to what each child needs most. At home, I’ve managed a busy household by juggling schedules, meals, cleaning, and all the little details that make things run smoothly. I’m CPR and BLS certified, very organized, and I love keeping things calm, structured, and fun. I truly enjoy being a part of helping children learn and explore the world in their own unique way. It’s in the little moments, the giggles, milestones, and connections is what makes this work so special to me.
