A little bit about me

Hi families, my name is Kristen and I have over 15 years of professional child care experience. I am also a parent myself, though my son just graduated and turned 18!

As a career nanny, I have felt honored to be trusted in caring for childre. I have worked in centers, but prefer private nanny care and working as part of a familys' child care team. Having a medical background helps as well, in the case of an emergency.

I have been fortunate to have worked with many wonderful children and their parents over the years. I have experience caring for multiples, children on the autism spectrum, and more than three children at a time. I have a lot of patience and silly energy!

I would love to share my love of arts and crafts projects, music, reading, and outdoor fun with your little ones! If I sound like a good fit for your family, I hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you,

Kristen

A little bit about me

Hello, My name is Belina. I speak fluent Portuguese and am proficient sn Spanish. I attended the University of Saint Joseph and hold a BA. I was a nanny for numerous families through the West Hartford New Comers Club. I worked full-time live in during the summer and during the school year I would float between families as needed. I have a ton of experience with children from 0-18 years of age. I traveled with these families for vacations, (Italy, Bahamas, Bermuda) and took care of the children (alone) for their couples vacations as well. In the summers I would float between families as each one wanted to take me to Cape Cod, Maine, Florida with the families. I am fun, energetic, highly motivated and dedicated. I do not want to be considered a nanny, I want to be considered family. I would prefer a fun, loving, child who enjoys extra curricular activities. I am comfortable with pets and have a strong educational background.

Recent reference

"Tiffany was wonderful with our infant son, Henry! She was always very attentive, playing on the floor with him and making sure he got some tummy time. In the nicer weather she took him outside to play in the grass and in his stroller for walks. Tiffany always followed his schedule too, making sure that he was fed on time and napped when appropriate. I also appreciated that she wasn't afraid to ask questions when my notes were sometimes confusing. In a time of uncertainty throughout the pandemic, she was always willing to take an at-home test for us so we could ensure that Henry was safe from COVID! Her communication is excellent as well. She's very responsive via text and would even occasionally adjust her schedule to fit our needs. I would highly recommend Tiffany to nanny for your family!"
