My approach is both interactive and engaging, as I enjoy organizing fun and educational activities, including but not limited to, arts and crafts, at home play, trips to the library, museums, and parks, language development for infants and homework assistance for school age children. Also, I offer support with light housekeeping and meal preparation centered around the children to ensure the household runs smoothly. In addition, I engage in various activities with the children. FOR INFANTS/NEWBORNS, I prioritize language exposure which involves reading to them, teaching vocabulary and sounds, and using visual aids like pictures and colors. I also assist with sleep training, bathing, feeding, and diaper changes. FOR TODDLERS, I support potty training, promote speech development, conduct spelling exercises, read books, teach phonics and writing, and introduce basic numbers and math concepts. 5.

I really enjoy kids! They are naturally authentic and interested in the world. I studied Math and Education in college, and got teaching experience in classrooms ranging from kindergarten to high school. I got certified to teach secondary math, and went on to do a year of Americorps service after college. I moved to Boston in 2007 and began babysitting until I figured out what was next. I enjoyed what I was doing so much that I went on to become a full time nanny the following year. I worked for three years for a family with three children- ages 2, 5, and 7 when I started. After the youngest was off to kindergarten, I took a new position, a nanny share caring for two 2-year old girls. I’ve also babysat for multiple families over the years ranging from overnights with infant twins to school vacation help for 12-year olds. I taught the preschool class at my church for 5 years as well. In October 2012, I had a daughter of my own! I began bringing her along to babysitting/ nanny positions, which worked out quite well. In 2019, after working as a nanny/ babysitter for 12 years, I transitioned to teaching. I worked as an assistant in a combined Pre-K/Kindergarten class for four years before becoming the lead teacher of a separate Pre-K class. I had another daughter in January 2024 and am currently exploring the possibility of a babysitting position where I can bring my 1-year old daughter along.

I have been a caregiver for over 10 years. I tried a few different jobs during my early twenties and found caregiving kind of by accident but have loved ever second of it. I love how everyday is different and exciting, and working with kids is so much fun. I mean who wouldn't want to go to work and laugh everyday. I try to keep things interesting for the kids I'm working with as well, by trying to get out of the house and do fun activities or even try to find fun games to play around the house. I have worked with a wide range of clients from brand new newborns to older children as well as a few jobs with the elderly. I am a hard worker who is always willing to go the extra mile for my clients, I believe that I'm there to help make the parents lives a little less stressful so I'm always willing to lend a hand with housework or errands, driving from place to place for pick ups/drop offs.

Hello! My name is Carine Roland, and caring for children has always been a true passion of mine. I’m a college-educated individual with several years of hands-on experience working with kids of all ages and abilities. Most recently, I served as a Program Coordinator at Massachusetts General Hospital, where I supported a program focused on preventing mental illness in young children through early intervention. (You can learn more about the program here:https://earlybrain.massgeneral.org/team/). I’ve also worked as a weekend nanny for over three years for a wonderful family in Boston, in addition to caring for many of my younger family members. I’ve supported children with special needs—including ADHD, learning disabilities, autism, and rare genetic conditions—and I always strive to meet each child where they are with patience, kindness, and care. I treat every child as if they were my own, and I believe every child deserves to grow up feeling safe, seen, and supported. Safety and emotional well-being are always my top priorities, and I strongly believe that children should be treated with respect and guided with consistency, positivity, and empathy. I love doing fun and enriching activities with kids like arts and crafts, outdoor play, swimming, cooking, and reading. I’m also a tutor and enjoy supporting early learning and school readiness in playful and approachable ways. Young children are incredibly impressionable, and I believe it’s essential to be a positive role model in their lives. It only takes one nurturing adult to make a lasting impact on a child’s self-esteem and development—and I take that responsibility to heart. I bring warmth, reliability, and genuine care to every family I work with. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile—I’d love the opportunity to speak with you more about how I can be a positive and supportive addition to your family. ❤️

I’ve had a passion for caring for kids for as long as I can remember. Even as a child, I loved helping care for younger kids at church, in my family, or anywhere I had the chance. I have experience as a babysitter, substitute teacher, and Residential Advisor, which has helped me develop strong communication skills, conflict resolution strategies, and the ability to create safe, structured environments where kids can thrive. I’m comfortable caring for up to two children of all ages. Whether it’s leading fun, engaging activities, helping with meals and nap time, or just being a dependable presence, I’m ready to support your family in whatever way I can. I’ve worked with kids from a wide range of backgrounds and personalities, and I love building connections with each of them. I’m excited to create a fun and safe space while gaining more experience and meeting your family’s needs.
