Tara L., Babysitter in Salem, MA 01970 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello! Thanks for checking out my profile. As someone who spends all day learning and growing alongside children and adolescents, I'd love to find a great family to support on my evening/weekends. Currently, I am in the process of completing an Ed.M. in school psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University. Prior to this degree, I worked as a family counselor and K-5 science/teaching associate at schools here in Manhattan as well as in sunny Menlo Park, CA. I also have prior experience as a nanny for two great families in Boston and San Francisco with children ranging from K-6th grade. Oh and, I can hold my own in Spot It and special character voices for books at bedtime :-). Looking forward to meeting your family!

Dolma  T., Babysitter in Salem, MA 01970 with 8 years of paid experience

Experienced Multilingual Nanny | CPR & First Aid Certified | Reliable, Calm, and Flexible Childcare I am a reliable, compassionate, and dedicated nanny and babysitter with over 10 years of childcare experience caring for children of different ages. Growing up in an orphanage with 40–45 children taught me responsibility, patience, empathy, and how to create a nurturing environment where everyone feels safe and supported. My strong Buddhist philosophy guides my caregiving, allowing me to bring mindfulness, compassion, and calmness into every interaction with children. I enjoy reading with children, preparing simple healthy meals, supporting daily routines, and keeping a clean, comfortable, and organized home. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and children’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I speak English, Mandarin, Hindi, Nepali, Tibetan, and the Amdo dialect, which helps me connect easily with multicultural families. My calm personality, strong values, and Buddhist-inspired approach help me create a peaceful, positive environment where children feel safe, supported, and happy. I am available for full-time nanny positions, babysitting, overnight care, and weekends. I am flexible, dependable, a non-smoker, do not drink alcohol, and I am committed to building warm, trusting, and respectful relationships with families while providing attentive, high-quality care. Thank you 🤗

Salimah B., Babysitter in Salem, MA 01970 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Salimah. I have worked on and off in childcare for about 10 years. My experience includes working with infants, toddlers, and school aged children. My most extensive experience has been with infants and toddlers. My formal experience includes working in a daycare setting, home daycare, and most recently (before my temporary move out of state) working for a larger Childcare Agency that serves families in and around the Boston Area who are in need of last minute reliable childcare. I pride myself in my gentle and nurturing approach to childcare, along with patience, as I understand the transition period as a child adjust to being cared for by someone who they are unfamiliar with. Some of the duties I provide as an experienced caregiver includes: Supporting children's emotional and social development by guiding children through engaging and productive activities to a foster fun learning environment, whilst using positive reinforcement and behavior modeling.Open and clear communication with parents about daily activities, behaviors, and meals/sleep logs.Organized and planned age-appropriate reading, crafts and other engaging activities to encourage creativity and expression. Sanitized toys and tables to maintain a clean, safe environment. In my free time, I enjoy spending time in nature, reading , sewing, studying herbalism, gardening, and traveling. I am available to provide both long term and short term care for families. I’m looking forward to finding the next family that I’ll be working with, whether it be short term, long-term, or just a one-time booking. It’s important that we both feel we’re the right match for one another, so I appreciate you taking the time to read through my bio. I hope to connect soon!
