A little bit about me

I have worked with kids of all ages for 6 years now. My experience as a swim instructor at a summer camp, an assistant teacher at a daycare, and as a ski instructor have given me the tools to be prepared for anything while working with kids. I am comfortable with all ages, am a good helper with school work and have many fun crafts and activities up my sleeve! I enjoy working with parents and kids to find the best situation for everyone. I have years of experience with kids with special needs. In addition I am a great food preparer-and due to my own diet I can create healthy substitutions! I am CPR and first aid certified, though hopefully I never should need to use those skills. I am calm under pressure and am hard to distract while driving. I hope to find a great family to help and work with.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

When working at a sleep away camp, the kids in my cabin were my responsibility for the summer. I became a surrogate parent for them and enjoyed the chance to bond with them. Working as a nanny did the same, I bonded with the toddlers and infant I was watching and became their "auntie".

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Indoor activities I love are art projects and baking. I am an artist myself and art is such a great way for kids to learn and express themselves. Sidewalk chalk, biking, scooters, swing sets, and just being outside and encouraging their creativity are my favorite outside activities. Going on a walk/bike ride with the kids and dog is always fun as well.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Caring for the kids in the way that best suits them. It isn't about the easiest way, sometimes you have to change how you work to fit the kid. Adaptability is very crucial.

My experience with special needs children...

In middle school I was part of an after school program called United Sound. I worked with a classmate of mine who had Down Syndrome to learn how to play the trombone.

Kristin H. - Seeking Work in Simsbury

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Simsbury, CT: Kristin H.

Hi,
I recently relocated to Simsbury to assist my 89 year old mother. I raised four amazing children, and my youngest graduates from Lehigh University on May 17th. I was fortunate to take a pause from my career to raise my children. Therefore; I have experience with all ages of development. In addition, since I was a stay at home mother I would babysit the neighborhood children. I am compassionate, patient, and firmly believe your children are aware of all your actions. I enjoy working with children, and love to read, ski, golf and play tennis. I am extremely organized and believe a tidy house adds structure and calmness. I look forward to hearing from you.

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Simsbury, CT: Erin H.

I am a nanny, trained Montessori teacher and expecting mother looking to care for your child alongside mine!

Before teaching, I received my bachelors degree in education and was a full time nanny for 8 years. The families I cared for grew dear to my heart and I hope to find another loving family to grow close to! They say “it takes a village” and it is so true! It is important that I am on the same page with the parents so we can all provide what is best for your child.

Aside from a caring and nurturing environment, I will provide educational activities, daily outings, healthy meals and time outside every day (safe weather permitting.) My home is situated on nearly 3 acres and is at the end of a culdesac. In addition, I will do your child’s laundry and will pick up and drop off your child if/when needed. I pride myself on flexibility - let me know of any other ways I can help your family.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have!
