Experienced Child Caretaker Available Full-Time

(3)
I would like to be able to help one family versus working for a day care. I feel that would give me a better opportunity to work one on one with the child(ren) and form a closer bond as a nanny instead of a day care teacher. If I do what I love then I'll love what I do!! I love children and taking care of children is what I do best!! I enjoy playing games, arts/crafts and having fun!! My favorite memories are when I've helped children with homework or teaching them to speak/read/count. When I see the light bulb turn on in their mind it makes me happy and reassures me that I'm in the right field of work!!! The challenges are the best part, getting homework done, keeping things clean, etc.. it's motivating and what fuels me to keep going and do a great job!! When a parent walks in from a long day at work and greets their family and looks around to see that the only thing left for them to do is spend time with their family, that is what I find to be most rewarding to me!!!

Full Or Part Time Caregiver With Many Years Of Experience In Child Care For All Ages.

I was a nanny for 2 1/2 years for a little boy who was 7 years old; his parents would go out of the country for 2 weeks at a time. I was responsible for housekeeping, homework, extra curricular activities and all household chores. I recently cared for a 4-month-old, 3-5 days a week. I have fresh experience with newborns and toddlers, as I have 2 of my own kiddos, so I have experience with multiples and can multi-task. Your home or mine, we like to get outside and stay busy with swimming, taking walks, exploring and just keeping active. I have a background in social work, investigating child abuse and neglect, so I also know the importance of safety. It is a priority of mine to care for your child just how you would, following your rules, schedule and directions to make your kiddos time with me and at home as easy of a transition as possible.

Rachel is amazing! Like most new moms, I was incredibly nervous leaving my baby with a someone for the first time. Rachel couldn't have been more incredible, from sending texts and videos throughout the day to always being able to pick up an extra day here and there. She really treated our daughter like her own. She will treat your family like her's and I can't recommend her enough.

DCF Certified Preschool Teacher Looking For Full-time Job As Nanny/child Caregiver

Avg response < 1 hrs

Hi, my name is Cassie. I am 28 years old and love working with children. I started out with babysitting for friends and family and fell in love with the idea of making it a career. I was about 2 1/2 years into college for Early Childhood education when I took a break to earn my credentials through DCF to become a preschool teacher. In the past I have worked in 3 different preschools loving every second working with children. But I couldn't stop thinking about how much more I could do and how much better my job would be if I had a family. Being a preschool teacher was great but there are too many families and too many kids coming and going. I want to make a positive impact and connections rather than being just another face. Currently, I work 3 days a week for Disney but I really miss that close 1 on 1 interaction with children and would love some part time child care work.

Overnight Mom AND Newborn Care

Avg response < 4 hrs

Hello, Did you just have a baby? Could you use help with newborn care? Wouldn't it be nice to have someone take care of you as well? How about help with the laundry? Meal prep? Want to sleep like a baby at night? If you answered "YES!" to any of these questions, we should talk! I care for mother and baby, as a unit for the first few months following delivery/ adoption. I provide non-medical and no - judgmental support. I help spouses/partners and siblings adjust to their new roles too! I provide newborn care and education. I assist with feedings (breast and bottle). I work with mom to give her the best care so she can have a better recovery. I also can provide light meal prep and light housekeeping. I look forward to serving you!

I reached out to Kimberly for lactation support and she responded within hours with a list of qualified contacts for my complicated situation. Many people wouldn't return my calls, but the first person on her list answered and came to my home that week. Thanks so much for the connection!

Loving, Caring And Patient Nanny

Good afternoon and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. My name is Melissa and I have worked in the childcare field for 28 years (1991). Though my years I have worked in a few daycare facilities and I have worked all ages during that time but my longest time was eight years in the infant room. I resigned from that position and opened my own in-home daycare for seven years and then I decided to take on the task of just being a private nanny for one family at a time. My first family had one child and when I started with the family, he was 18 months old and a little over a year I began also caring for their infant triplets. I stayed with the family for almost seven years and the triplets began school. The last and current family I am with I care for one little girl and I have been with them since she was 8 months old and she is currently four and a half. Mom had decided to take some time off before she starts school.

I have been babysitting for as long as I can remember. I have always looked after family members and taken care of my baby cousins when my family was in a dilemma. My first job babysitting outside of family was in 7th grade when I would watch the kids in my neighborhood (ages between 4-7) after school. In high school I was able to drive and began babysitting a lot more because I could travel to different locations, I become more experienced. I worked during all times of the day and even late nights. Working at the YMCA gave me much understanding in kid s communication techniques. I volunteered with special needs kids in the Program, giving them a mentor to talk to on regular bases, and Challengers Baseball Program, teaching special needs children how to play baseball and understand life altering skills. I volunteered at Elementary Schools, teaching kids the importance of health and physical activity. I enjoy playing games with kids and especially love crafting!

Fun, Caring And Hardworking Part-Time Babysitter

(1)
My name is Hannah and I am 22 years old. As the second eldest of five children taking care of all aged children is innate for me. I have babysat for families from 1 child to 5 children, aging from 1-14 years old. Over the course of my high school career, I was a "regular" sitter for 8 different families. One of the little boys I babysit has extreme autism which gave me experience and opportunity to work with special needs kiddos. I became an full-time nanny my senior year of high school to a family with 3 children. During this past summer (2016), I was a part time nanny for three families. Being an ex-military family, my parents have taught me the importance of hard work and order, but my parents have taught me always that love and compassion come first. I try to make the children's time with me as enjoyable as possible while they are away from their parents. I treat every child I babysit like they are my own siblings, watching over them and protecting them as best as I can. Thank you!
