Lori S.
Sitter / Nanny · Night Nanny
I am a newborn and early adolescence care specialist with a passion for the early developmental process. With my Bachelor’s Degree in Speech Communication I am versed in langue development across life span and diverse spectrums. There is no textbook to describe each unique situation and my care approach reflects such. I create space for parents to release, relax and unwind while their child is in my care. Knowing that being a parent is a tough job I will act as an informative resource to support them and their child(ren). I have extensive experience with preemies, umbilical cord care, lactation support, bowel regulation, sleep training, feeding issues and special needs.

Elisabeth B.
Sitter / Nanny
Elisabeth (Lizzy) has been babysitting for nearly 10 years (children of all ages). She is creative, caring, and organized. Lizzy loves working with kids because she herself wants to be a mom one day and believes that if you just listen to children, they can teach you so much. Tutoring: Lizzy is comfortable helping all elementary level schoolwork. A personal favorite thing of hers to work on with kids is reading comprehension, as she believes it is vital in all career paths. Activities she loves to do with children are arts and crafts, reading, outdoor sports, but will really tailor activities to whatever the kids are passionate about. Special needs: Lizzy worked as a special education aide at a middle school. Lizzy is happy to help with light housekeeping if the children are napping and she’s more than happy to make meals.

Ciara A.
Sitter / Nanny
There has not been a child that hasn't taken well to me regardless of attachment style or parent(s) that haven't invited me back as a repeat caregiver. I am currently supplementing my childcare experience with studying for both my CDA and Associates in Early Childhood Education. I am always excited to be a part of anyone's village, as support is very important so I am taking my professionalism and knowledge to another level to be at my best. I have experience with assisting first time parents, being a mom's helper, nursing sick children, and basic childcare. I am certified in Pediatric First Aid/CPR AED, mandated reporting, preventing SIDS and promoting safe sleeping.
