I genuinely love caring for kids -- they're tiny comedians, curious explorers, and professional snack negotiators. Every giggle, every why?, every milestone keeps life interesting. My specialty is newborns through age five, and I'm well versed in supporting children who need a little extra help.

Experience includes: 
- Prematureinfants 
- Twinsandtriplets 
- Autism 
- DownSyndrome 
- CerebralPalsy 
- ADHD 
- Behavioralchallenges 
- Developmentaldelays

Education: 
- Psychology degree (Honors) 
- Minors in Sociology, Biology, Criminal Justice, Women's Studies 

My care style: 
- Warmandpatient 
- Calmandreliable 
- Quicktohelp

I create a safe, loving environment where kids can learn, laugh, and occasionally remind me that silence is suspicious.

We love Clarinda!!  She is God send and so sweet with our son. Highly recommend!!!

Clarinda is AMAZING!!!! My son has a speech delay and has been doing amazing work with him to get him talking! My daughter normally takes a long time warming up to people, but Clarinda has such a loving and care personality that my daughter warmed up to her in a matter of an hour! Shes just great!

Friendly, professional and even showed up early. Thanks, Clarinda!

Clarinda was kind, patient and had a genuine warmth our 3 month old boy took to immediately. She kept the line of communication open at all times which we appreciate. I would definitely recommend!

Clarinda worked with our family for 4 years. Our daughter P. was 12 weeks old when we hired Clarinda,"Nanny C", to care for her full time. Best decision we ever made! Clarinda and P. grew a bond that was incredible. Clarinda was Hands-On with activities and keeping Peyton happy and busy all the time. As far as punctuality she was always on time and if she had something to do she gave us plenty of heads-up notice beforehand. P. is now four and a half and we no longer have Clarinda because Peyton has gone off to school, but we keep in touch with "Nanny C" as much as we possibly can. She will always be like family to us! Who ever gets her services will be very lucky family.

I had Clarinda watch my 3 year old for a date night and she showed up on time, asked great questions and immediately started interacting with my daughter. She kept me informed, and my daughter said she had a great time with her. I will definitely keep using her!

Very sweet. Was able to help last minute. 

She was amazing at keeping us updated while we were out. She was on time. We have a daughter with special needs and she was very comfortable with her and even asked appropriate questions! 

Clarinda is just WONDERFUL! 
Her personality is great! 
She is so sweet and caring as well as calm, cool and collected. Even when she was caring for my colicky 12 week old! 
I was so grateful for the time she took out her night to swoop in and save me, and give me a small break. 
She is always willing to go above and beyond!. I know that if I need her that she will do her best to be there for us. 
We also have cameras in our home and we do review them.
 I have nothing negative to say or have any concerns what so ever with her! 
She was always patient, loving and attentive to my little one. 
I highly recommend her! 
You'll know you made the right choice in very short time! She easily becomes a great friend and even feels like a family member. <3



Clarinda or "Nah Nah" is beyond sweet and very kind. She is soft spoken in general. 
As she stated in her profile, she is firm but fair. 
She is big on manners and tries to teach things such as sharing. 
She has taught my daughter multiple words in sign language: which has made our lives so much easier!  
She's Great! 
So glad I found her! 

Clarinda is a wonderful caregiver! She always gave my children her undivided attention and showed genuine love & happiness when she was around them. 
Her education is a plus. She seems like a well rounded individual and a great role model for the children in her care. 
I trust her completely & would recommend her to anyone who wants the peace of mind knowing their children are safe and enjoying themselves. 

Very responsible and has a way with children. Highly recommend, 10/10. 

Clarinda arrived 15 minutes early both times we used her.  We have a 4 year old, a 12 year old and a 14 year old with high functioning autism.  We are a very busy family with a lot of moving parts and Clarinda jumped right in and helped out with everything I asked her to do and she even folded the laundry!  She asked lots of questions to make sure our son with Autism would be comfortable and we followed up right away when I asked questions of her.  We will definitely be hiring her again for future evenings out!

Her home is small, but cozy!  She gives me updates on my baby's day, and has excellent communication ! She is very  reasonable with her rates and I would highly recommend her her to friends and family! 

She is dependable. She makes an effort to know the kid and compassionate . I will definitely recommend her.

I was a little daunted when I first saw the size of her space, but oh wow did my girls love it there!! One of my 2 year Olds has cancer and as I explained all the various possibilities of what could happen, seizures, tremors, balance issues, crankiness, vomiting, sudden dizzy spells and extreme hyper activity... after being turned away by so many daycare...she took it in stride, she followed all my directions, kept her on her schedule and gave all the kids so much love and affection. Her flexible hours absolutely rock and her meal planning ?! Mine don't even eat that well at home!! She's even helped in several emergency situations, and is always ready if a sudden drop off is needed. You won't find a more loving devoted caregiver for your babies!
