Opal mya B., Nanny in Westport, CT 06880 with 25 years of paid experience

I am a loving child care professional with over 20 years of professional child care experience. I recognize the individuality of children, and attempt to create an environment that fosters their trust, self esteem, and independence. Realizing the various stages of child development, I work cooperatively with the family to engage their children in positive and constructive activities. I provide the type care that I myself would want for my children, playing with them, and giving them encouragement and guidance as they discover the world around them. Along with my 20 years of professional experience, I can also offer you: * An Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education * A Certificate in Basic Child Care * A Certificate in Infant & Toddler * A Certificate in Child Care Administration * CPR & First Aid * SIDS Training * Child Care Credentials 1 & 2 * A TB test and Physical Examination * Certification in Massage Therapy * A Background Check * Excellent References   I also have lots of other various documented child care related training, and am a member of the (INA) International Nanny Association. I can provide a portfolio documenting my experience, education, training, and also provide excellent references. I am very affectionate, nurturing, and absolutely confident that I can create a loving environment for your children to learn and grow in.  Thank you so much for your consideration!

Nancy P., Nanny in Westport, CT 06880 with 17 years of paid experience

I'm a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS), what they used to call " Baby Nurse ", which is a confusing name since we are not nurses. To be a Newborn Care Specialist is necessary study, pass a test and have a Certificate, which I have, and not all "Baby Nurses" do. I've taken care of babies for 17 years. I've study four years in two Universities in my country of origin, Uruguay, 2 years in Communications and 2 in Psychology (I'm bilingual: English/Spanish). I've been CPR and First Aid certified and I've been over three updates through these years. My NEWBORN CARE CERTIFICATE is by "Gentle Ventures" training center (approved by the NCSA). I balance entertainment, safety, education and of course, the basic needs of the newborn baby, interaction, attention to detail, observation of their developing personality, taste, moods, preferences, I get to know the newborn to better care for them and they get to know me and trust me, which is so very important to do my job. A Newborn Care Specialist also learns from feeding and sleeping patterns, identifying potential problems and presenting parents with options for a solution. It's also important support sorting through the "real" from the "imaginary" worries about the child, and provide comfort allowing parents to learn more about their newborn child. SOME SKILLS: Soothing techniques, Sleep Training, Colic, Swaddling, Premature Babies, Attending to Breastfeeding Moms, Bottle Feeding, Sanitize Bottles, Tummy-Time, Play Time, First Baths, Start Feeding and Sleeping Schedule for a Healthy Routine and towards sleep overnight by the end of Second or Third Month (Yes, it is possible!!) I use my playlists and I sing by myself to babies often, I don't sing well, but they do love it, it's actually a great tool (and I do have tons of fun doing it:) SOME ITEMS OF INTEREST: I have references, I don't smoke, I don't drive, I don't spend all the time on my cell (no social media), I have all vaccines included Tdap, I'm a citizen, I have no allergies, I keep a log always on paper (no apps for it), I don't own pets, I require an independent baby monitor (with no apps), I don't turn TV on, I don't travel with a newborn baby, I care for NEWBORNS (that is from one day old to the end of fourth month), I live in Stamford CT, I work 24 hours over 5 days and take two days in a row off, or I might work just 12 hours at night depending on your needs... PLEASE CHECK SITTERCITY "AVAILABILITY" WHICH I UPDATE OFTEN.
