I really enjoy kids! They are naturally authentic and interested in the world. I studied Math and Education in college, and got teaching experience in classrooms ranging from kindergarten to high school. I got certified to teach secondary math, and went on to do a year of Americorps service after college. I moved to Boston in 2007 and began babysitting until I figured out what was next. I enjoyed what I was doing so much that I went on to become a full time nanny the following year. I worked for three years for a family with three children- ages 2, 5, and 7 when I started. After the youngest was off to kindergarten, I took a new position, a nanny share caring for two 2-year old girls. I’ve also babysat for multiple families over the years ranging from overnights with infant twins to school vacation help for 12-year olds. I taught the preschool class at my church for 5 years as well. In October 2012, I had a daughter of my own! I began bringing her along to babysitting/ nanny positions, which worked out quite well. In 2019, after working as a nanny/ babysitter for 12 years, I transitioned to teaching. I worked as an assistant in a combined Pre-K/Kindergarten class for four years before becoming the lead teacher of a separate Pre-K class. I had another daughter in January 2024 and am currently exploring the possibility of a babysitting position where I can bring my 1-year old daughter along.

Hello! I am Akira Harper. I am one of five children in my family, so I have learned to operate amongst chaos. I am currently a research assistant, working towards getting my PhD in STEM Education and Teacher Development at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, so my schedule is somewhat flexible. Starting at a young age, I have always worked with children and started by looking after my siblings. I've been currently working with children with and without disabilities, since high school and I love it. I am quick to learn and face every challenge head on! Furthermore, I have a car and I am fully vaccinated and I am tested weekly while living on campus. Additionally, I am in the midst of renewing both my CPR and First Aid certifications and those should be all set within the next couple of weeks! I look forward to hearing from you and your family.

**Mature, Dependable, Punctual, Warm, Fun, Joyful, Patient, Career Nanny of 20+ years is seeking date night and/or weekend positions, including weekend overnights. I am only free on Friday afternoons to Sunday evenings.** I am passionate about my work as a nanny and consider it to be a noble and worthy endeavor. I am devoted to giving the children in my care the absolute best of everything: focused attention, nurturing, healthy foods, love and affection. One of my best qualities is being able to really engage and get into a child's world. I am a connector. This breeds trust and facilitates positive and healthy behavior in children. I love to play and be silly and help children develop their imaginations. I will do anything for a laugh. I am also a classically trained singer/pianist and am always making up songs and singing around my charges. Music is a great educator and so important to the development of a young child. I have a calm, easygoing personality and I am extremely patient, gentle and observant. I am a proponent for validating children's feelings and making them feel heard and seen. I practice saying 'please and thank you' with them as infants and by the time they are two they usually are saying it back to me. On walks to the park or elsewhere, I am always looking for teaching opportunities. I'll tip the stroller back to have them look up at the leaves on the trees or point out the bees kissing the flowers. I even make diaper changing fun. Modeling joy and positivity for children is deeply important to me.
