Hi! I'm a Ph.D. student in the Boston area with 20+ years of childcare experience. Before pursuing a graduate degree, I worked as a full-time nanny for over 10 years. I also led a before-and-after school program for children K-5, and was a respite for the state, working with families with autistic and disabled children. I have experience with families of all sizes, age groups, needs, and abilities. As much as I love the work I'm doing now, I miss the creative, energetic, and fun activities and adventures that working with kids offered me. As a sitter, I am great at planning fun outings and creative, rainy day activities. My many years of child care have given me an endless arsenal of imaginative projects, ideas, and games. I'm also athletic, played sports, and coached girls' softball for many years. I'm looking for part-time babysitting, either regular, occasional, or on an Read more as-needed basis. My schedule is pretty flexible. I'd love the opportunity to hang out with, and get to know your adorable, hilarious littles!
