Sittercity helps Barkhamsted families find the best nannies

As a childcare worker for over a decade I started off working in Windsor Public Schools as a Before/After School Program Leader along with working as a STEM teacher in summer camp. Next I worked in daycares as both a Lead Infant/Toddler Teacher and as Floating Teacher. Most recently I was a Math/Reading Interventionist, giving individualized and small group instruction to children struggling academically. I also have experience with special needs children and providing ABA play-based therapy to children with autism. Although I’ve had many different roles in the early childhood field, the times where I feel most fulfilled are when a family reaches out to me and entrusts me with the responsibility of caring for their children in their home. I am a mother to my 5-year-old son, so I know firsthand the fear that comes along with searching for someone safe and qualified. I love being able to provide peace of mind to other moms like me and I look forward to helping support your family too.

A little bit about me… As a nanny, I have years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to preteens. In my previous role as daytime nanny to a busy family of three children, I learned how difficult it can be to manage the varying needs of children in diverse stages of development. I honed the ability to care for each child individually, while paying close attention to the needs of the group. I am also able to do light housework, grocery shopping. I am a fun loving person who is well organized and capable of keeping the house running smoothly as you were away

Hello there, my name is Sara! I have always had a great passion and love for kids of all ages, and from the time I was young they have always been drawn to me. It is very easy for me to connect with and have a soothing affect on them. A brief discription about me is that I am a patient, nurturing, and fun-loving caregiver. I have many years experience as both a babysitter, and a nanny. I was the first born in my household, and helped my mother raise and care for her 8 other children. In addition to this, I babysat and nannied over a period of eight years for several other families, for age ranges of infant to 14. I was responsible for all aspects of each child - social, developmental, educational, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. I believe in the importance of keeping children engaged in a safe yet creative environment, and will do a variety of both indoor and outdoor activities! I am naturally active, and will be happy to play hide-n-seek and tag, or simply stay inside and color, tell stories, or play eye spy. I tailor all activites and approaches to the interest, age, developmental level, and personality of each child! I like to insert character development and education into whatever we are doing. I also have a way of making all things fun (i.e. eating veggies, brushing teeth, etc). However, I am a healthy balance of a fun, easy going attitude, and also being serious and assertive as needed. I will set firm, yet loving and gentle boundaries as needed. I believe that children are precious, their innocence priceless, and well-being a priority. They are an incredible gift, as well as crucial responsibility, and should be raised and protected with the utmost care, and love. From conception in the womb into childhood, these are the years where they are shaped, and what makes them the adults they become. I understand the importance of my role, and am willing to take on that responsibility. I will take your child(children) in, and care for and love them as my own. My main goal is to come alongside you and compliment every aspect of your parenting style, and also to be a caregiver that you feel entirely comfortable to leave your most precious assets with! I possess my own vehicle, and have clean federal, criminal, and driving records. I am not a substance user, nor am I a smoker. Thank you, and all the best to you in your search!

Hello,I am Aniyah Brown and I can't wait to meet you and hopefully work with you...I am a hardworking, fun loving, social person who makes sure whatever is needed to be taken care of , then I will take care of it to the fullest. I’ve been in childcare for a little under 10 years starting with daycare work for majority of it but I did babysitting on the side during school terms. I have my first aid and cpr certificate, I am also working on my childcare and teaching license for the ages of 1-8 years old.

I’ve always wanted to become a nurse. I started with obtaining my CNA license in high school along with my first aid and CPR certificates. I work as an ABA therapist for children with autism. I am currently enrolled in college for nursing.

Hi my name is Vanessa, but my little friends call me " Miss Nessa" I was the neighborhood babysitter while growing up, so much so I would go on family vacations, with my neighbors. I was very involved with the child care at my church during my youth. and as my own children were growing up I was the Nursery supervisor. I also held the Assistant Director title at 2 different daycares. While doing that I went to school to become a Medical Assistant. After which I started working at a Pediatric Practice. 23 years after starting as a Medical Assistant, I choice to retire from the Office Manager position. And I'm extremely proud to say I'm a single mom of 2, so far total of 36 years. Planner of activities and crafts for children’s birthday parties. Received CPR, AED, and Stop the Bleed refresher class.

I am the oldest of four, the built-in babysitter and all of my mom’s friends knew it. I have been babysitting since I was 10 years old and took my first babysitter certification when I was 13. Once my family and I moved to CT I started to do more formal babysitting, I worked for a family part-time during the summers and as needed during the school year for 3 years. Then I spent a summer nannying for a family in Seattle. Now I am currently working as a Patient Care Assistant/Tech (and full-time summer nannying). Through this job I have worked night-shifts assigned to one baby feeding them, bathing them, and holding them. I have spent an entire 12 hour shift keeping a hyperactive, confined 3-year-old entertained. I have spent 3 shifts in a row talking with the same teen about their life and dreams. My favorite assignments are those involving me being with a baby the whole shift! **** I’m new to sittercity!! Message me if you would like childcare/character references!!!
