Gracie R., Nanny in Columbia, CT 06237 with 10 years of paid experience

I’ve been babysitting since I was about 14 years old. I love kids, and I am a very adventurous person. I love spending time with kids and finding new things to do with them. I have very flexible scheduling and am very reliable. I have babysat for many families in the past 10 years, and have taken babysitting, first aid and cpr certifications.

I would love to make your jobs easier while keeping the kids safe and entertained. Please feel free to reach out for an interview to see if we would be a good fit. I look forward to meeting you and your family :)

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.

Kerisha H.

We have absolutely loved having Kai provide care for our 18-month-old daughter. For the first couple of weeks, our little one was really nervous and cried a bit, but Kai was patient, gentle, and understanding. She allowed our daughter to lead the way and to engage at her pace and her comfort level. It didn’t take long for our daughter to warm up and look forward to Kai’s arrival each morning. I really appreciated Kai’s focus on learning as she was always teaching our daughter new things (ex: letters, sounds, basic sign language), keeping her engaged, and spending lots of time exploring outdoors. Kai has super positive energy, is very attentive, and clearly cares deeply about the kids she looks after. The only reason we’re not continuing with Kai is that my role was recently eliminated and so I’ll be at home with our daughter, otherwise, we’d absolutely keep working with her! We highly recommend Kai to any family looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy to provide care for their child/children. Kerisha

Maren S., Nanny in Columbia, CT 06237 with 30 years of paid experience

Hi, Working with infants and children has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. They bring such innocence and joy, that each moment is special as they see the world through brand new eyes. I was an elementary school teacher for 16 years, winning a national teaching award. Prior to that, I was a baby sitter, nanny, and camp counselor (2-3 year olds) for babies and children from about 18 months-11 years old. Since I left teaching, I have been a nanny for three seperate families with babies ranging in age from 4 weeks-3 years old. Reading to kids, interacting, playing with them, and other adventures are always part of my day with them. Some families have allowed me to take the kids on adventures to the park, baby groups and the library. Building language and world experience through books, play and exploration, along side gentle care, compassion and most importantly, safety are my priorities, while following the lead and needs of each individual family. I also have experience helping with PT, speech and OT needs, along side first aid and cpr certification. The certifications need to be renewed, but I am willing to do that. I look forward to learning more about you and your family.
