Hi, I’m Nerlande and I’m currently working as a DIRECT SUPPORT PROFESSIONAL and I’ve been taking care of young adults/ seniors for years now. I really enjoy working with them because it’s important to me to know how life is unpredictable and challenging for some of us. My responsibilities include driving to/from school, run errands, etc…
Hi parents! My name is Daniella, and caring for children is something I love, not just a job, but something I take pride in. I have several years of hands-on babysitting experience caring for children of various ages, from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids. I’ve worked with families long-term and on an as-needed basis, which has taught me how to adapt quickly to each child’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m a responsible, patient, and nurturing caregiver who believes children thrive best when they feel safe, understood, and encouraged. I’m great at building strong connections with kids while also maintaining structure and clear boundaries that parents can trust. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, sticking to bedtime routines, or keeping kids engaged with creative activities, I always aim to make time together both fun and meaningful. I bring a calm, positive energy into every home and pride myself on being dependable, organized, and communicative with parents. I’m attentive, safety-focused, and always proactive, anticipating needs before they become problems. Parents often describe me as trustworthy, warm, and someone their children feel comfortable with right away. Some of my strengths include, creating fun, screen-free activities (arts & crafts, games, reading, outdoor play), helping with homework and supporting learning, maintaining routines and bedtime schedules, handling multiple children with patience and care, being reliable, punctual, and respectful of family values. Above all, I care deeply about the well-being of the children I look after. I strive to be someone parents can fully rely on and someone kids genuinely enjoy spending time with. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide your children with safe, attentive, and loving care.
Hi! My name is Kaitlyn, and I recently graduated from The College of New Jersey with a degree in Psychology & Elementary Education. I am continuing my education next year to earn my master’s degree in Special Education. I have several years of experience working with children through summer camps, tutoring, volunteer programs, and classroom placements. I have worked with children of different ages and abilities, including students with special needs. Responsibilities have included supervising activities, helping with homework, creating fun crafts and games, preparing meals/snacks, and keeping daily routines running smoothly. Families would describe me as patient, caring, responsible, and energetic. I love building positive relationships with children and creating a safe, supportive environment where they feel comfortable and engaged. I am also happy to help with light household tasks, organization, meal prep, and pet care.
Hi, my name is Juviana, and I currently work at a daycare while attending the University of Connecticut, where I am double majoring in Business Administration and Management and Human Development and Family Sciences.
