About Lynsea
Experience: 10 yrs
I'm the oldest of 10, so childcare has always been a part of my life. Over the years, I've worked in daycares, run my own at-home childcare, managed a summer camp, and created a children's hour program for homeschool families that ran for over three years. I've also been a live-in nanny for newborns, worked with children with disabilities and homeschooled my twin sisters during COVID. I love keeping kids engaged with fun, hands-on activities like building bug habitats, teaching art lessons, playing games, and making learning exciting. My discipline style focuses on natural consequences tied to actions while empowering kids to make choices. I enjoy teaching kids about local Indigenous culture and sharing some Narragansett language. I've set my rates to reflect my extensive experience and the care I provide. I look forward to meeting your family and creating lasting memories! PS I take cute pictures too

A Truly Exceptional Childcare Provider – We Were So Lucky to Find Lynsea! I cannot recommend Lynsea highly enough. From the moment she first babysat for my family to having my twins enrolled in her home daycare program, Lynsea has consistently proven that she was meant to work with children. She has a natural gift for connecting with little ones in a way that is both nurturing and effective. Lynsea strikes the perfect balance of being firm yet fun. She holds clear expectations for the children in her care, while also supporting them as they navigate their emotions in real time—a rare and incredibly valuable skill. Her calm, thoughtful approach helps children feel safe and understood, which has made all the difference for my family. What also sets Lynsea apart is how she engages the children in creative and enriching activities. As an artist herself, she regularly leads the children in arts and crafts projects that my kids still proudly display at home. She plans fun games and learning activities that spark curiosity and joy. It’s clear that the children in her care absolutely adore her, which speaks volumes about the environment she creates. I can confidently say that any family would be incredibly lucky to have Lynsea as part of their child’s life. She has been a true blessing to our family, and I encourage anyone considering her services to reach out—you will not be disappointed!
