Hello parents! My name is Valerie, I am 30 years old and live in Somerville, MA. I have extensive childcare experience and I will do my best to share the condensed version. Buckle up, I started a babysitters club in high school and never looked back. Being trusted to care for children has been a gift and a job I don't take lightly. I do my best to provide a loving, patient, and playful approach. I practice a mix of positive discipline and the Montessori method. A little about my work experience. I have 6 years of preschool teaching experience and 15 years of professional childcare experience. I have provided before/after school care, overnight care, traveled abroad long term, live in and live out, and most recently ran a nanny share with two toddlers and two babies. I've spent the last 9 summers working at an overnight camp in Vermont with young girls and boys. In my time at camp I've worked in the Wilderness department teaching hard skills, High ropes course, Archery, and led trips in the White Mountains. I have a deep love for nature and enjoy spending time outside. I am currently transitioning out of my nanny job as my kiddos are off to school and daycare. I am pursuing a certification to become a doula and hope to focus on postpartum care/support once completed. In the meantime I am hoping to assist with date nights, interim nanny, travel, overnight, and back up care. In addition, I am able to prepare meals, run errands, care for pets, manage household tasks, house sit, assist in planning educational activities for children, potty train, sleep train, assist with transitions (moving out of crib, becoming an older sibling, etc.) and teach Spanish.

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 begin language exposure as early as 1 month, 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 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.
