Allie N., Child Care in Wakefield, RI 02879 with 8 years of paid experience

I am a caring young adult. In the past, I've worked as a substitute teacher in Warwick School District, K-12, where I gained valuable experience working with children of various ages. This background has helped me develop patience, creativity, and effective communication skills, all of which I bring to babysitting. Currently, I work in the medical field, which has further strengthened my ability to stay calm, think quickly, and ensure the safety and well-being of others. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or making sure your child is well cared for, I’m confident I can provide a fun and safe environment.

Gillian L., Child Care in Wakefield, RI 02879 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi my name is Gillian Lewis and I am very experienced with child care. I have worked in a daycare caring for infants, toddlers, and preschool ages. In addition, during the summer I am a head camp counselor working with children ranging from ages 4-12 years old. I am currently a college student majoring in Elementary Education at Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island. Therefore, I am looking for nannying/babysitting opportunities in that area during the school year. I am CPR, First Aid, and Medication certified and have been through lots of child care training from previous jobs.

We have had the absolute pleasure of having Gillian as our nanny for just over 1 years from when our little one was just 5 months old until she was 18 months. Throughout this time, Gillian has been nothing short of fantastic. Her adaptability to our ever-changing work schedules has been incredibly helpful, and she has formed a remarkably close bond with our child, which has been heartwarming to witness. Gillian is exceptionally organized and tidy, ensuring that our home is always in order. Her communication skills are excellent, keeping us informed and involved in our child's daily activities and progress. She has taken sole charge of our toddler with confidence and care, scheduling playdates, planning engaging activities, and focusing on milestone development. Her meal prepping skills have also been a great asset, ensuring our child has nutritious and delicious meals. We are truly grateful for the love, care, and dedication Gillian has shown to our family. She has been an integral part of our child's early years, and we highly recommend her to any family in need of a wonderful nanny.

Heather W., Child Care in Wakefield, RI 02879 with 20 years of paid experience

My name is Heather Wall and I'm a proud mom of two great college students. I am RI Early Learning Standards and CPR/1st Aid certified and have been employed as a preschool teacher, a full-time nanny/family manager, overnight care provider and have owned a family entertainment/party venue for young children. For the past few years I have been involved in a nanny-share arrangement working from a large dedicated space in my home for a few families with children who are now aged 18 months to 3 years old. At this time I am able to take an additional child on Monday and Thursday after 11:30 a.m. and anytime on Tuesdays or Fridays. I am also happy to provide childcare in your home on evenings or weekends anywhere in NK, Saunderstown, North Narragansett, SK or Exeter. I have or course taken a plethora of classes in childcare, behavior management, etc. and have plenty of of tricks up my sleeve to keep kids entertained and redirect negative behaviors when needed. Several of the families that have attended my preschool program have used me to care for their children for weekends while they were away or as overnight sitter when needed. I'm comfortable with food allergies, infant led weaning , ASD and ADHD management/protocols and happy to be in a home with pets. In my free time I enjoy hiking, skiing, kayaking and paddle boarding. I look forward to hearing from you and encourage you to ask to speak to any of my former employers for more information about me.

Lisa cared for my youngest son one a day a week for 3 hours. She also watched both my boys (2 and 6yrs) on occasional weekend or week nights. She was a very dependable caregiver for the 9 months she worked for us. I would recommend Lisa for any job working with children. She did a fantastic job with my two energetic boys, always keeping them busy with games or craft projects. Lisa was qualified to oversee all daily activities when caring for my children. I would gladly recommend Lisa and personally use her again if ever in the same location.

Kellie babysat for us while we were on vacation in Narragansett, RI. She was a great communicator with me before and during our time there. She watched our 2.5 year old two nights in a row and managed to get him to sleep without me on the second night. She handled his screaming as I left the room like a pro! I really appreciated everything she did for us that weekend and would highly recommend her.

I would recommend Delia to any family. She was great was both of my girls (20 months & 5 yo). She arrived on time and asked the right questions about care of the children. I would definitely hire her again.

Erin  M., Child Care in Wakefield, RI 02879 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m a senior at URI with several years of professional nannying and childcare experience. I’ve been a nanny for the same family on Long Island for several years, caring for three children who are now 10, 9, and 5. I started when the youngest was 2 and continue to work with the family whenever I’m home from school. My responsibilities have included school and camp drop-offs and pick-ups, driving to sports and extracurricular activities, preparing meals and snacks, helping with daily routines, planning activities, and providing evening, weekend, and overnight care. I’ve loved being able to grow with the children and build a close, trusting relationship with their family. I also have experience working at a children’s summer camp and in childcare at a gym. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation, and am comfortable managing busy schedules and caring for multiple children at once. I genuinely enjoy working with kids and strive to be someone families can depend on while also making sure their children feel safe, comfortable, and have fun!
