Hello Moms, Dads, and little ones;

I am now seeking a family in the East Rock, Westville, or surrounding towns of New Haven, needing M-F help. I am a kind, calm, playful and highly skilled, experienced nanny. Your child will play and learn with safe supervision, nurturing care, and gentle guidance, discipline, when needed. I am fully committed to meeting your family's needs. Currently, I enjoy working part time flexible with a wonderful family with two young children in East Rock. An adorable 1 1/2 yr old and bright 5 yr old have been in my care for almost a year and a half. I absolutely enjoy sharing their individual sparkling personalities!! This smiling (usually!) baby is now fast picking up on engaging with quite a wide variety of toys, fast walking, and I love supporting her advancing communication with conversation and reading. The effervescent preschooler is very creative, and our time together consists of indoor/outdoor learning fun -baking, botany and engineering activities - and beginning sibling co play.

Prior, I had the successful experience of caring for two babies from separate families and very often at the same time, when family commitments required an overlap in schedule resulting in Nanny Sharing. My care of the oldest of these 2 children lasted 1 and 1/2 yrs during the age of 1 - 2 1/2 yrs old. I had the pleasure of watching her reach many developmental milestones, and am proud to have been an important role model.

My former position was very happily caring for a 6 mo old baby who moved on to preschool at 3 yrs old. She kept me on my toes and in awe of her developing personality. We had so much fun visiting several local parks/playgrounds, listening to music, dancing, sharing in imaginative play, arts, reading and exploring nature. We continue to enjoy get-togethers which are a precious experience for me every time!!

I am great at diffusing tears and tantrums into a happy and productive atmosphere. In addition, I am successful with potty training, manage light household tasks including child's laundry, food prep and tidying. I will respect your parental needs and styles of child-rearing. I am easygoing, compassionate, and adaptable. We can share information and helpful hints if you like:)

I am now available Monday to Friday. I have recent documentation
for Security, Driving, and CPR/First Aide, along with excellent letters. Thank you for reading through my bio, let's talk soon!

best - Shelley
