Trish A., Nanny in Old Lyme, CT 06371 with 35 years of paid experience

I've been caring for children of all ages in childcare centers and as a nanny for 35 years. I also have 4 grown sons of my own including twins. I absolutely love children. I am a caring, patient, and attentive nanny/sitter who enjoys playing, teaching and being on the go. I have extensive knowledge of child development and age appropriate activities that help a child grow and develop. I focus on nurturing the whole child including social, emotional, physical, and cognitive abilities. I work hard to foster a sense of responsibility, manners, and respect and lead by example. I consider myself to be very reliable and dedicated. As a mom myself, I understand the desire to have someone care for your children as if they were their own. That is what I aim to provide. I am currently working full time Mon-Thur with a family and am seeking weekend date night jobs (Fri/Sat).

I had reached out to Trish on Sittercity.com based on her Profile when I was in need of a nanny for my 2 children (3yo & 5yo); to finish out the school year. Trish has been a DREAM...Anyone lucky enough to get her - KEEP HER! I have been using these sitter sites for some time now and you don't come across a TRISH very often! Trish is knowledgeable - she has been working with my 3yo on his potty training (and coaching me as well!). She is PASSIONATE about what she does; she is NOT a babysitter; She puts her whole heart into these kids, as if they were her own. She has brought preschool workbooks and worked with my 3yo on his colors, shapes & writing skills. She has planned science experiments to do with both my children, which they have loved. She always makes it a point to keep my children active and engaged; always planning activities both inside and outside of our home. She plays with them on their level; often sitting right beside them on the floor or crawling into their treehouse with them for story time or role playing... She even plays with our dogs in the backyard during nap times and strives to stay busy, helping out with house work or chores whenever possible; even when not required. Trish is Punctual, Responsible, Trustworthy, and the definition of what a true Nanny should be.

Joann R., Nanny in Old Lyme, CT 06371 with 24 years of paid experience

I am a mother of one daughter and grandmother of two; I have worked as a professional nanny for many years after working as a legal assistant. I am originally from Washington State and lived in Hawaii as well. I moved to Rhode Island and Connecticut, respectively, in '98. I enjoy children much more than administrative work, hence, I turned to childcare. I have had many long-term commitments, newborns on-up, twin infants in the mix, and special-needs (autistic;) I am blessed to still see the local, former families. (Although I am "seasoned," in age, I encourage prospective families to view me as bringing a grandmotherly-presence to children - able-bodied, yet mature and nurturing, with no personal commitments to conflict with a family's needs.) I am CPR/First Aid/AED certified (a given,) have a squeaky-clean DMV/BCI check and a non-smoker. Infant care: bottle-feedings, solid foods - all down pat... I have a passion for the arts - Broadway show tunes, children love them! I focus on age-appropriate activities, have collected a wealth of craft project archives and I am well-versed in children's literature; I am a Play-Doh goddess, good for the little ones. I am an avid animal-lover and am more than happy to attend to pet care needs. I am open to any questions you may have and references are readily available.

JoAnn was our nanny for 2.5 years. She was a very loving and nurturing caregiver to my twin boys from infancy through the toddler years. She was extremely reliable, and completely committed to us. My boys love her, but we have moved on to preschool. I encourage you to meet JoAnn for yourself.

I had the pleasure of working with Ellie while traveling for work with my two boys (ages 2 and 4), who—like most little ones—can be a bit wild at times. From the very beginning, she gave me confidence by clearly communicating and committing to the timing well in advance, which was incredibly reassuring given the logistics of my trip. Throughout her time with the boys, she remained calm, patient, and attentive. It’s not always easy managing high energy and short attention spans, but she handled them with a steady, caring presence that made all the difference. I could tell she genuinely cared and took the role seriously, which allowed me to focus on my work knowing they were in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to call on her again for future care. Highly recommended!

Currently attending UConn with a major in nutrition, looking for a babysitting or nannying job while I’m home for summer break! I am CPR and First Aid certified and have worked as a camp counselor at Essex Park and Rec for the past two summers. In addition to this, I have two elementary school age cousins, and briefly worked as a babysitter for a 4 month old. I’m capable of keeping kids under control and ensuring the environment is safe, but what I love most is creating connections with kids one on one. I have a car, I’m capable of cooking small meals, I’m very patient, attentive, creative, and I have experience with kids with special needs.
