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.

You can trust that the only time I’ll be on my phone is if you ask for updates & photos. I believe in some of the “old standards” meaning that I’ll be completely engaged in providing loving care for your children (without use of electronic devices) while they’re awake…and will tidy up, prepare a meal and fold laundry while they sleep!

Lily T., Child Care in Wakefield, RI 02879 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Lily Taylor, and I have over six years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to early teens. Growing up in a big family with nine siblings—six of them younger than me—helped me develop a strong sense of patience, responsibility, and creativity from an early age. I love creating engaging activities that encourage learning and fun, whether it’s crafts, games, or outdoor adventures. I’m also a strong communicator and problem solver, which helps me handle challenges calmly and effectively. My goal as a nanny is to provide a safe, supportive, and joyful environment where kids can thrive and parents can feel confident that their children are in good hands. I look forward to hearing from you and hope that I can be a good fit for your family!

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.

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.

Working with kids has always been a passion of mine. Since Ive turned 12 I have taken any babysitting job offered. I have two nephews and a niece that I have helped take care of since birth. I have worked with kids of all ages through summer camps, clubs and babysitting. I am a current daycare teacher working primarily with infants and toddlers, however I have experience with all ages. Working with children is a very rewarding experience and something that I appreciate fully. Their positive outlook and imagination always makes me smile. I love to help children embrace their creativity while giving them comfort and safety at the same time.
