I am an experienced nanny, mother and grandmother who has been working with children since I was very young. I have also spent some years working at a day care before transitioning to working at homes. After years of working full time child care, I am looking for a more part time care position. I adore caring for children and am very comfortable with not just the care aspect, but in providing enrichment and learning activities.

Robin worked for me at a childcare center. She worked in in my infant toddler classroom. She was very personable with the families. She was always at the child's level very loving and comforting. I would definitely hire her again.

Kathy only worked with us for a week - I'm sure over a longer acquaintance she would have earned that fifth star. She was good to work with: thoughtful, vigilant, and affectionate. She looked after my two month old in a nanny share with a 6 month old, so she definitely had her hands full, but was unflappable despite all their needs.

Deanna worked with our family for nearly six years, beginning when our two children were just one and two years old. From the very start, she was a devoted mother’s helper who truly loved and cared for our children through their earliest and most formative years. She consistently demonstrated kindness, patience, and thoughtfulness in everything she did. Deanna was exceptionally reliable, flexible, and deeply dedicated to our family. Whenever we needed extra support—whether due to illness, unexpected circumstances, or schedule changes—she was always there for us. Her willingness to step in and help during challenging times meant more to us than we can fully express. She safely drove our children, cared for them when they were sick, and was an incredible source of stability and support throughout the COVID period and beyond. Deanna consistently went above and beyond her core responsibilities—preparing meals, helping with laundry and sorting clothes, unpacking school and activity bags, and keeping our home organized and running smoothly. Deanna also played a significant role in our children’s development. She mentored them with homework, reinforced good manners and responsibility, and worked closely with us to work through behavioral challenges with care, patience, and consistency. She regularly took them on outings and found thoughtful ways to engage them emotionally, socially, and intellectually. In addition, Deanna was a tremendous logistical support for our family. She helped arrange and plan for vacations, prepared the children for travel, and managed busy schedules with ease, always anticipating what needed to be done. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Deanna as part of our family for so many years. She made a lasting impact on our children and our household as a whole. We recommend Deanna without hesitation and with the highest confidence—any family would be truly lucky to have her.

Amber was fantastic with our 18 month old! They had a blast and we had no concerns about leaving our child in Amber's capable hands for a few hours. We look forward to working with Amber again!

Hi! My name is Caroline, and I have years of experience working with children through teaching, nannying, and babysitting. I graduated from Fitchburg State University with a degree in Early Childhood Education, which has given me a strong understanding of child development and creating positive, engaging environments for children of all ages. For the past two years, I’ve been a full-time nanny for one family, where I’ve helped manage daily routines, planned activities, supported learning and development, and created a safe and nurturing environment for the children. This experience has strengthened my ability to be dependable, patient, organized, and adaptable to each child’s unique needs. I’m passionate about providing a fun, caring, and supportive atmosphere where children feel comfortable and encouraged to learn and grow. I enjoy planning creative activities, helping with homework and routines, and keeping kids active and engaged throughout the day. Families would describe me as reliable, caring, easy to communicate with, and trustworthy. I’m currently looking for babysitting opportunities and would love to connect with a family that’s a great fit!

Caroline was great! Our little guy loved when she would come over and play! She was always punctual and would even bring toys and gifts to help entertain him.

I have been working with children since the age of ten, be it through babysitting family and then branching out, through teaching dance classes, working at numerous summer camps and then becoming a certified infant, toddler, preschool lead teacher. I am certified through EEC. I also spent a summer volunteering at Camp Sunshine. This is a camp for families with a child who is terminally ill. This camp is a place where the families can go and be among others who are facing the same everyday issues. They go to camp and have the opportunity to enjoy their time without having to worry about anything else. I enjoy working with children of all ages especially 1 month - 15 years of age. Some of the activities I enjoy doing with the children under my care are arts & crafts, going for walks around the neighborhood, playing at the park, going on field trips to the farm, zoo or other such places and reading stories. I was born in Worcester, MA and have lived in Auburn, MA my whole life. I have experience working with children who have special needs and typical children. If you are interested, please feel free to e-mail me or call my cell phone. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile.

Elizabeth was fantastic with our kids. She brought activities for our daughter and was a hero with her ability to put our notoriously fussy 10 month old to sleep with ease. Our daughter still talks about Ms. Elizabeth and how much fun she had. She made our trip by putting us at ease with our children while we attended a wedding. Our only complaint is that she doesn't live in FL so we can have her watch our kids more often!
