I have my license and love bringing the kids to get ice cream, the park, and all of my other childhood favorites. I am very outgoing and love to show my appreciation through cooking and cleaning the house.

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.

Hello, I am Jacarra and I love what I do. I currently work at an elementary school and have also worked in daycare settings so I have experience with all ages. Some duties I’ve had over the years included ensuring a safe environment, prepare/serve meals, helped dress children (if needed) I really enjoy arts and crafts, playing outside and going to parks and beaches in the summer time! If they needed medicine, checked on allergies with parents, helped with homework and anything else needed. I currently clean houses so wouldn’t mind tidying up some. If you have any questions feel free to message me!

I am a mother of one daughter and grandmother of two; I have worked as a professional nanny for many years after working as a legal assistant. I am originally from Washington State and lived in Hawaii as well. I moved to Rhode Island and Connecticut, respectively, in '98. I enjoy children much more than administrative work, hence, I turned to childcare. I have had many long-term commitments, newborns on-up, twin infants in the mix, and special-needs (autistic;) I am blessed to still see the local, former families. (Although I am "seasoned," in age, I encourage prospective families to view me as bringing a grandmotherly-presence to children - able-bodied, yet mature and nurturing, with no personal commitments to conflict with a family's needs.) I am CPR/First Aid/AED certified (a given,) have a squeaky-clean DMV/BCI check and a non-smoker. Infant care: bottle-feedings, solid foods - all down pat... I have a passion for the arts - Broadway show tunes, children love them! I focus on age-appropriate activities, have collected a wealth of craft project archives and I am well-versed in children's literature; I am a Play-Doh goddess, good for the little ones. I am an avid animal-lover and am more than happy to attend to pet care needs. I am open to any questions you may have and references are readily available.

JoAnn was our nanny for 2.5 years. She was a very loving and nurturing caregiver to my twin boys from infancy through the toddler years. She was extremely reliable, and completely committed to us. My boys love her, but we have moved on to preschool. I encourage you to meet JoAnn for yourself.

.Hi! My name is Cathy. I am a young-looking and young-acting retired special education teacher . I really miss the kids. I had been an honorary grandmother to a little girl and watched her one day a week from birth to kindergarten. I played with her both inside - playing board games/Legos/card games/Play-Doh, baked, did arts and crafts, watched Disney /educational videos and outside - going to the park,library, playground, children's museums, aquarium, beach. I have experience with infants and have taught grade ranges Kindergarten through high school. I am very friendly, responsible, caring, kind, cheerful, and hard-working. I have watched a 7 year old girl and 9 year old boy for almost a year until they moved , helping them with homework, playing outdoors, and going to parks, the zoo, movies, and kid's fun places. I have taken care of and nurtured a toddler from the time she was 3 months old until 2 years of age. We went on daily outings to the park, library, and children's museum. I have kept a daily journal for parents to enhance communication. I have had several dogs ( golden retrievers) and am pet-friendly. I am very hard-working, reliable, friendly, kind, supportive, and loyal.

Cathy is an amazing care taker for my son. She understands his needs and is very attention to detail with communication and with all of the activities. I highly recommend her. She is prompt and readily available. After her 2 hour interview with both of us chatting away...I felt very comfortable with choosing her.

Hi! I am Maria! I am one of six children. I was home schooled. I was nine years old for my first paid babysitting job! I have experience working as a nanny in South Carolina for a family of seven children!! I also worked as a live-in nanny in Washington DC during my college summer breaks. I worked with children from infancy to young teenagers. I have experience tutoring children in math and reading as well as giving piano and sewing lessons. I love to play games, sports, and read books. One of my funnest nanny jobs was working for a family of nine boys in Northfield, Massachusetts. I was on my toes the whole time! I worked a summer for a preschool in Agawam, MA. It was fun and crazy and it gave me experience working with a severely autistic child. She was AMAZING! Hope to hear from you. I would love to help out.
