I am a childcare professional with experience as: -a paraprofessional in a therapeutic elementary school and a charter middle school -a full time nanny -a regular babysitter -an overnight camp counselor. I am a student of attachment theory and the polyvagal theory and I use loving-kindness, relationship building, routines, and firm limit setting to build a stable, warm, predictable environment for kids. I can provide homework help, transportation, activity planning, and assistance with cooking, housework, and pets. I am firmly rooted in anti-racist study and liberatory practices. I believe it takes a village to raise a child and it would be my pleasure to support your family. I am available for occasional and part-time work until 8/29 at which point I am available for full-time, part-time, and occasional work.

Hi there! 👋 My name is Franchesca, and I’m a Preschool Teacher with 3 years of experience working with children ages 3–5. I absolutely love helping little ones learn, grow, and have fun through play-based activities. As an educator, I’m patient, nurturing, and creative — and I always prioritize safety and positive routines. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children, supporting bedtime routines, preparing simple meals/snacks, and engaging kids in educational, age-appropriate activities. I love doing crafts, storytime, sensory play, and outdoor exploration. Families often describe me as warm, reliable, and someone who instantly connects with children. I would love the opportunity to support your family — whether you need occasional date-night care, weekend help, or a consistent sitter. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Hi! I’m Amy and I’m looking for new nanny position starting summer 2021. I have been a full time nanny for over 8 years, with about 16 years experience working with young children in varying capacities (preschool teaching, daycare, babysitting etc). I have a bachelors degree in psychology with a focus on child psych and development and I am an EEC certified infant/toddler/preschool teacher but I much prefer nannying to teaching! I have experience with multiples, special needs, and overnight care. My favorite things to do with the children in my care are reading, crafts, and outdoor adventures! In my spare time I enjoy cooking, hiking with my dog Sawyer, doing yoga and reading. Thanks for your consideration and I hope to hear from you soon!

Hello my name is Rylee Labonte! I just moved to the North End of Boston this fall. I am hoping to expand my experiences in the childcare field as a full time nanny or baby sitter. I have always had a passion for caring and teaching children, and have been surrounded by a teacher my whole life that I have learned with, my mother. Along with my mother being a teacher/having her own home daycare my boyfriends mother also owns a home daycare so I am constantly around them helping out whenever needed and interacting with the kids. I’m my junior and senior year of high school I was a student teacher at the preschool that was located inside my high school. This was a great experience for me and I learned a lot, such a making lesson plans and teaching them, supervising nap and lunch outdoor time, etc… I also worked at a daycare for over a year where I became teacher certified and got my first aid and cpr certification. I cared for children ages 3 months- 6 year old. Following that, the past summer I nannied a one year, four y/o, and nine y/o until the end of August when I began to move. I provided full days of care, cooking meals, doing naps, indoor/outdoor play, etc. along with housework. That was a great experience and opened my eyes to wanting to stick to a nanny environment. I would love to become a part of someone family and join them in taking care of their little ones and helping them learn and grow. I hope to be considered, if you have any questions my email is ryleelabonte13@gmail.com. Thank you!!
