Octavia A., Child Care in Boxborough, MA 01719 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi, I'm Octavia! I'm passionate about helping families thrive during one of life's most beautiful-and challenging-transitions. With over seven years of experience caring for children of all ages, I specialize in newborn and infant care, providing expert support as a Newborn Care Specialist, Postpartum Doula, and Infant Sleep Consultant. Originally from Costa Rica, I'm a native Spanish speaker and fluent in English, making me a great fit for bilingual families. I also bring a love for music as a pianist and enjoy incorporating creative learning through my experience as a school tutor. I have my own LLC and payment system, so there is no need for families to generate any kind of documentation for tax purposes. You can pay either with credit/debit card or direct transfer through Square or check. Whether you need guidance through those first newborn weeks, infant and toddler transition, help establishing healthy sleep habits, reaching milestones, or a loving and knowledgeable caregiver, I'm here to support you every step of the way. In case of travel, I do have TSA Pre-check, Global Entry and Priority Pass. References and CV can be sent through email and you can also contact me at octavia.aguirre.p@gmail.com or my phone (774) 253-5647 Have a wonderful day!

Are you looking for an occasional sitter? A summertime sitter? I’m a full time art teacher during the school year. I’m seeking occasional sitting positions and summer time sitting positions. Perhaps you need a date night or just need an occasional night out. I have CPR, first aid and epi pen training. I have raised my son and also two step daughters who are now adults. I had been a lifeguard when I was 16, of course all that training is expired, but I feel that those life experiences stay with you. I look forward to hearing from you. I am vaccinated for Covid-19

We met Sandie at the beginning of the pandemic through Dumpling, which is a personal shopping app. She was our food shopping angel during Covid and 2 years later not only does she still shop for us, but we have her occasionally babysit our 4 year old who loves Sandie! Flexible, thorough, and just all around a nice person.

Stephanie B., Child Care in Boxborough, MA 01719 with 11 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Stephanie! I am 30 year old and currently living in Leominster. I am an EEC certified infant-toddler and preschool teacher. In total i’ve got about 10 years of childcare experience that ranges from private care to center based care. I left teaching officially in early 2021 and have been nannying privately ever since for a wonderful family. I am also fully single parent to a beautiful 5 year old girl. I can provide you with multiple letters of recommendation from babysitting clients as well as parents of children who I have taught :). I love doing sensory activities, watching movies with them, teaching them developmentally appropriate skills, educating them on reading and writing if they are ready, potty training, general motor and life skills; bringing them outside to run and climb, I have done it all and absolutely love it. it's rewarding watching them grow and learn! I'm more than willing to go along with whatever your child comes up with to do that day. I'm quite a good cook and I am completely comfortable with animals, in fact i love them! I am outgoing, energetic, fun and active but can definitely be stern if I need to be! I am totally capable of transportation (clean driving record as well!) I have no issues with cleaning up and doing laundry either, however I can continue to help your family I am willing to do!

Keely S., Child Care in Boxborough, MA 01719 with 20 years of paid experience

Here is a little bit about me. *Self-description* I am spunky, fun and dependable. I enjoy doing crafts and playing games. I also take joy in playgrounds, riding bikes, swimming, the library, and other fun things! I feel I would be a great companion for your child. *Additional information* I began an interest in caring for children when I was 13. I would babysit for families in the neighborhood. As I entered high school they had a day care in one of the wings. I began working there for credit.  From that point on I have always had a job working with children *Challenges of position* I have been with one of my families for 10 years, and I find that as they get older the respect level and listening skills decrease a little bit. It makes it difficult for me implement the rules of the house, so I have to be creative in my methods. *Rewards of position* It is a good feeling knowing that I am an important part in a child's life. Being able to watch them grow and help them with life decisions means a great deal to me.

Keely is excellent with our toddler. She is very communicative, honest and reliable. In a very short period, our toddler bonded well with her. She is always looking to help out and is super understanding of any specific needs or methods. Looking forward to working with her in the future.

Sara has been such an amazing addition to our family over the last year. She has cared for our infant daughter who adores her. She helped us navigate our daughters changing needs, teething, sleep schedules, and more. She is incredibly proactive and jumps in to help out whenever needed which has been such a huge help. She has also been so flexible with all of the changes throughout the pandemic which made navigating the unique work and school changes much easier! We are so sad to no longer have her with us but we know she will be able to provide amazing care for another family!

Farrel E., Child Care in Boxborough, MA 01719 with 3 years of paid experience

Hello, my name is Farrel Ekau. I am from Waianae, Hawaii, 24 years-old, recently graduated from the Air Force Academy with a degree in Biochemistry. I am now stationed at Hanscom Air Force base as an acquisitions officer. Growing up, I would always take care of my baby cousins and my culture required detailed care. Soon thereafter I found myself volunteering for disabled children as well as babysitting for families allover Hawaii, Colorado, and Florida. I love kids and want to make a positive impact on children, their education, and their overall view of life. I believe that life is short so love should be at the forefront of every interaction.

I'm a reliable, creative, energetic person who has about 7 years of working with children. This includes my babysitting experience and my work as a substitute teacher for preschool, elementary, and middle schools during my winter and spring breaks. I also have experience as a support specialist for children with mild to moderate learning disabilities (autism, down syndrome, etc.). I'm very warm and caring but I don't let that get in the way of following the rules. For parents, I can help with Travel and Grocery Shopping if needed!
