Hello parents, my name is Meghann. I have been working in childcare for a year and a half now. My first job as a nanny was with a big family of four children aged 4 months old, 3, 5, and 10 years old. After that, I moved on to work at a two daycare the first daycare i work at was working with in infants and toddler but I was bouncing around to preschool whenever they need with the second daycare i work at is at home daycare i work with the same group of kids with the previous of daycare i work. I also work with kids that have special needs, both toddlers. Other than that I do activities including arts and crafts, outdoor play, music and movement, story time, and structured learning activities like puzzles, memory match games, and building blocks. I also do have CPR and first aid certification that wouldn't expire until 2027 and some early childhood education and training programs. In my job people would ask me what interests me working with children. It's because working with children can be incredibly rewarding, as it involves fostering growth, sparking creativity, and building meaningful relationships, all while making a positive impact on young lives. I find immense joy in helping them learn and grow.

Hi everyone! I'm Anna, and I've always been passionate about nurturing and educating young children. I recently graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I grew up in a big, loving family with 11 siblings and over 20 nieces and nephews, so caring for children has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've worked with children of all ages, but most of my experience is with 12months to 5 years old. I was a student teacher at Hill and Plain Elementary School in New Milford for the preschool, which was a great experience where I could further work on my ability to engage children creatively. I helped plan lesson plans, assisted in and led activities ranging with interactive story times, music, and movement sessions to hands on science experiments, and various art and sensory projects. My main focus was always promoting curiosity and social-emotional development in the children, and of course giving them a safe space to do so :). At the moment I'm working as a nanny as I work towards my long-term goal of becoming a teacher. I bring strong communication and endless patience. For families requiring transport, I have a clean driving record and a reliable car.

My family is full of children of all ages and I have always been known as the go-to babysitter. I am going to college for premed and I plan on becoming a pediatrician. I chose my major in medicine because I love kids and I would love to be able to help kids to overcome medical conditions. I previously worked as a waitress at a pizzeria and I just currently quit my job as a pharmacist assistant at a family owned pharmacy, so that I can have an open availability to be a babysitter(:

I have been a nanny for the past 5 and a half years. The family grew from 4 children to 5 and they decided to hire a live-in au pair. I am now looking for a new family to join. I prefer part time hours. I live in New Milford and would like to stay close by.
