Hi! My name is Mathew, and I have over 20 years working with children. This includes babysitting, being both a preschool and elementary school teacher, traveling with families, and being a nanny, for infants on up. I have a Masters in Social Work, which has allowed me provide therapy with children and their families, including being trained in infant mental health. I am comfortable with any age, as well as multiple children at once. To me, the best part about working with children is seeing their growth. Being a part of that growth is invaluable to me! I enjoy being hands on, playing games, doing arts and crafts, or being outside. I was previously a lifeguard and Water Safety Instructor certified. I enjoy being in the water, and am comfortable supervising children in and around water.  I hold current CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications. Open communication through is very important and I am happy to follow your preferred method, whether it is a quick text or a detailed chat when you return home. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure a consistent, secure environment. My goal is to support your family while fostering a positive, imaginative space where your children can truly thrive and grow!

Hello Parents, I am a 35 years old and have been working with children since I was 14. I have experience as a nanny, house manager, personal assistant, babysitter, house sitter and pet sitter. I am the oldest of six children and have experience with special needs, food and drug allergies. I specialize in infants and toddlers and take a special interest in children with anxiety. I have worked for several families long term as well as on call, part time, and date nights. My favorite thing about watching children is watching them grow, learn and discover new and great things about the world around them. I believe that routine is very important when it comes to raising children and having a regular caregiver that knows them, their habits, their likes and dislikes makes a huge difference! I am comfortable with homework help, drop off and pick up, taking children to activities as well as inventing activities, potty training, feeding, cooking, cleaning, laundry and more. In addition to this I am also featured on the Sittercity activities blog! I very much look forward to hearing from you!

I am looking for a family with active kids, full of energy, and that is ready to have a great time! Parents that wish their kids could be more active and outdoors are also welcome. :) (I also enjoy indoor activities, though!) I believe as much as kids can stay outside, playing, and distracted, the better, so they don't get bored or start missing their parents. I love to be out with kids, playground, pool, playing sports, riding a bike, chalking, playing tag, hide and seek, and enjoying the nice weather - if possible! Ps: If your kids like to learn new things, and some Portuguese (I'm from Brazil), I will be more than happy to teach them!

I enjoy being with children, they are my little friends. I love reading, coloring, singing, dancing, listening music and getting the fresh air with them outside. We can be silly and loud and we can be quite and listen the wind.
