Leanne R.
- 40 years paid experience
- 10 miles
I believe in the power of nature as a tool for education and love to spend time exploring outdoors, getting messy, and encouraging growth through play. My 40 years of experience include potty training, establishing sleep routines, and encouraging healthy relationships with food. I would describe my personality as silly & energetic and my caregiving style as responsive & respectful. I am kind, patient, and extremely reliable. I am seeking a long term position with 30 or more guaranteed hours that will begin in the fall of 2023. I am a Rhode Island native who now resides across the RI/CT border, and I am open to traveling approx. 20 miles . I am covid vaccinated, with a clean driving record and no criminal background. Prior to nannying, I ran a licensed home daycare in the State of Rhode Island. I have a lifetime of experience to share with you.

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Leanne for any position involving child care or child development. For several years, Leanne served as the nanny to my two children, from infancy through their early childhood years. During this time, she exhibited unparalleled dedication, compassion, and skill in managing the unique and challenging needs of my family. Leanne began caring for my youngest child as an infant, expertly navigating the demanding requirements of early childhood care. She continued this exemplary care until he reached four years old and transitioned to full-time preschool. Simultaneously, she also cared for my older son, from the age of three until he was nearly seven. This dual responsibility showcased Leanne’s exceptional ability to balance the needs of children at different developmental stages. One of the most remarkable aspects of Leanne’s care was her ability to interact with and nurture my nonverbal autistic son. Her patience, understanding, and tailor-made approaches to his needs were nothing short of extraordinary. Her ability to communicate effectively with him, despite the challenges of his nonverbal condition, was a source of relief and comfort to our family. Leanne's professionalism extends beyond her direct interactions with the children. Her decision-making skills are impeccable, and I trusted her judgment implicitly when it came to the well-being of my children. Her calm and composed demeanor, even in the most challenging situations, made her an invaluable presence in our home. She is unflappable, a quality that is essential in the unpredictable world of child care. Moreover, Leanne's versatility and resourcefulness were evident in her ability to manage multiple tasks and adapt to the varying needs of each child. Her commitment to creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment has had a lasting positive impact on my children’s development. In conclusion, Leanne is a remarkable individual whose expertise in child care is exceptional. Her dedication, skill, and compassionate approach make her an outstanding candidate for any position involving the care and development of children. I wholeheartedly recommend her without any reservations and am confident that she will be an asset to any family or organization fortunate enough to work with her

Mia worked with our family for a little over a month and was consistently helpful, reliable, and attentive to everything we asked of her. Our 8-month-old daughter had only ever been cared for by my husband and me, and was understandably hesitant with someone new. Mia showed incredible patience and persistence, gently building trust and adapting to our baby’s needs with care and sensitivity. We truly appreciated her calm presence and dedication, and would absolutely welcome her back should we need additional support for our baby and/or toddler in the future.

I have been caring for children for roughly 6 years. I spent about a year babysitting 5+ children, ages 6 months through 13 years old, every week for the members of my local PTA during meetings. I have worked for families with children ages 10 months, 2, 3, 5 and 6 years old. My most recent position involved being a full time nanny to 1. 5 and 3-year-old sisters until it was time for the eldest child to begin school and I relocated. I am certified in CPR/AED/BLS and First Aid for infants, children and adults. I spent 2 years volunteering for my hometown ambulance corp as an Emergency Medical Responder in training. I'm a high school graduate with a clean driving record and a new car. My hobbies outside of work and school include reading, hand embroidery and bringing my dogs to the dog park. I am currently enrolled in college courses strictly online so I have an extremely flexible schedule.

Hi! My name is Julia I am a graduate student with 5 years of childcare experience. I worked on and off for a daycare from 2019-2022 with mostly infants but also toddlers and preschoolers. There I found a love for early childhood education and development. I moved for school and had the privilege of working for a family with a 1 and a half year old for a little. In 2023 I began working with a family with a three year old and a young infant. I absolutely adored them and was with them around 25 hours a week. I was very sad to part with this family due to moving but stay updated with their boys. School drop offs, cooking, cleaning, reading together, park and museum trips and so much more. The rest of my time has gone to school where I currently attend the University of Edinburgh online part-time. Additionally, I am a very active person, adore children and animals, and music. I am a hard-worker and very ambitious and hope you consider me as a nanny!
