Find experienced child care providers in West Topsham, VT

I have cared for children for 15 years. During this time, I have worked as a private nanny, a babysitter and in a licensed childcare center and summer camp. I am a creative person who strongly believes that children benefit from experiencing an enriched environment that challenges them to grow in their skills, knowledge and self-esteem. Mutual respect and understanding of child development are important in developing relationships with children and their parents. I love children and interacting with them in ways that develop their curiosity and encourage them to be inquisitive learners.

Hello families! I would love to help you out as a part-time nanny for your 0 - 3 year old. I am passionate about helping babies and children learn through play. I have experience working at the VINS summer camp, helping children in schools, and being full-time mom to my almost-2 year old. I have just updated my First Aid and CPR certifications. Being in the midst of parenting a toddler gives me an intensive example of what all the stages of a young child's life can be like. I would look forward to guiding your child in exploring the world and developing their unique self. Examples of activities I enjoy with babies and children are safe sensory explorations of everyday toys and objects or materials, creative cooking, exploring and observing nature outdoors, and music with movement. Since my daughter would be joining, our children would have the opportunity to learn from each other. I also offer the option to attend a variety of local storytimes and playgroups. Please let me know if you are interested or would like any more information. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you. Hannah
