I am also equipped to provide childcare in my home and live in a safe, quiet neighborhood. I have toys, books, a comfortable play space, a quiet nap space, music, movies, etc. I can also provide snacks, diaper changes and potty training. See my 5 star reviews. Thank you.

I hold a degree in Child Development and Early Childhood Education and have extensive experience working with children. From 2009 to 2019, I taught preschool-aged children, fostering their growth and development through engaging activities and personalized care. In 2019 and 2021, I worked as a Head Camp Counselor at a Girl Scout Camp, where I planned and led programs to create a fun and enriching environment. In 2022, I was promoted to Program Manager at the camp, further expanding my leadership and organizational skills. Additionally, I have hands-on experience as a nanny for two children, ages 2 and 4, and babysat for a family with a toddler from 2022 until the end of January. My responsibilities include preparing simple meals, assisting with potty training, and keeping the child engaged through indoor and outdoor activities. During the spring I babysat a one year old a few times. This summer I have been babysitting a six and ten year old. I also babysat 20 month year old twins a few times recently. Working with children has always been my passion, and I am currently seeking a babysitting position a few days during the week with preschool or elementary-aged children. My goal is to provide a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment for the children in my care.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Special Education Moderate Disabilities K-8, teaching certificates in Massachusetts and Washington state, and certifications in Crisis Prevention & Intervention and Adult/Child/Baby First Aid/CPR/AED. I am a compassionate, responsible, and energetic nanny with a genuine love for working with children. With 10 years of experience in childcare—ranging from full-time nannying to teaching in special education elementary schools and middle schools—I have cared for children of various ages, from toddlers to pre-teens. I have a strong history of dependability and reliability. As a warm, patient, and creative nanny, I am able to form strong and trusting bonds with children. I enjoy engaging activities such as crafts, reading, outdoor play, and age-appropriate learning games, and am open to taking children on excursions in the community if desired.

I've worked in childcare since sophomore year of high-school doing after school programs and babysitting. I am CPR certified and have plenty of experience with children from infant to middle school, as well as children with autism and other neurodiversities. I firmly believe in patience, calm voices, and creative solutions when working with children. I like to meet kids where they're at and form trust between us so we can get along well and respect one another. Currently, I am 25 and looking to work with younger children of smaller families as I am dealing with difficulty working due to Ehlers Danlos and other disabilities. I can hold babies, change diapers, make bottles and cook, play, and put kids down for nap, but struggle with lots of running and very active play due to my physical limitations, as well as long hours or several work days back to back. I am also trans and would like to work with welcoming and accepting families of the lgbt community.

I have over two years of experience as a professional nanny, caring for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged kids. Before becoming a nanny, I had extensive experience taking care of children in different settings, including babysitting for family and friends and assisting with childcare in community programs. Throughout my time as a babysitter I have developed strong skills in creating engaging activities, supporting early childhood development, and maintaining a structured yet fun environment. I’m experienced in meal preparation, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping, ensuring a smooth day for both children and parents. I am currently in the process of renewing my CPR certification to ensure I’m fully prepared for any emergency situations. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive.

Hi there! My name is Molly and I am a 23 year old living in Allston. I currently work as a paralegal at a law firm but am hoping to change that! I have done child care for seven years, including a live in nanny position for two summers. I have definitely missed being in child care and would like to get back into as soon as possible. I absolutely adore children and would love the opportunity to spend time with yours playing and learning ( in a covid safe way, of course.) I am half-way vaccinated for COVID-19, my second vaccination will be next week! Please let me know if you have any questions for me, and please feel free to reach out anytime! :)

I have worked as a nanny/babysitter for families in Stonington, CT, Sharon, MA, the Hamptons, and Manhattan, NYC. My interest of working with kids was solidified through these experiences, and I look forward to working with more in the future!
