Hello there, I am an experienced and educated childcare provider who has over 14 years of hands-on experience and a genuine love of children and their development. I have worked with children from birth through 17 years of age in various roles, but primarily in-home - providing support to the family unit and focusing on developmental support. I am college educated in Early Education, with a minor in special education that allows me the knowledge and experience to provide added support in the reaching of milestones and/or special challenges if they arise or become an area of concern. I have experience working with Early Intervention and can assist with Speech or Occupational concerns as well as ABA and sensory seeking behavioral supports with or without guidance. I hold current CPR and First Aid certifications, as well as various allergy training certifications and a complex pediatric Diabetes training completion through the Joslin center in Boston. A clean background check, clear driving record and reputable references are available upon request. With my childcare services you can expect my willingness to commit to household management as well as pet care and to provide the absolute best and thorough attention to your bundles of joy as if they were my own. If you are looking to add a member to your childcare village, please reach out and we can set up a time to connect. Looking forward to hearing from you! Best, Britni

Hi. I'm a social worker and I am available over the upcoming Thanksgiving vacation. I thoroughly enjoy being with kids, infants included, and they seem to enjoy being with me as well I have experience through the full range from infants to teens, special needs as well. I'm reliable, responsible, with lots of common sense.I have a reliable car and am a good driver. School: studied with Piaget, child development, infant language acquisition. Love playing board games, reading to kids, helping with homework... scooting around with littler ones and making up games. I'm a tennis player, swimmer, used to shooting baskets, riding bikes, practicing soccer, batting as well...pretend, dress-up, crafts and shuttling kids "around town". I have a good sense of humor and fun and am easy with kids pushing the limits with babysitters...to a certain extent (e.g. bedtimes, # books, TV/computer.) Each family is unique too and I think it's important to understand what Is and isn't important for your family. I have experience with overnights as well. I am comfortable with pets and a non-smoker. Check out my site and you'll see 15 Reviews. P.S. I am available over the upcoming Thanksgiving and "Christmas" vacations as the summer.

Hello! I'm Ann Marie. I have been around children my whole life. I am ECE teacher certified for ages infant through pre-K. Completing my certification taught me a lot about child growth and development however I keep up with developing trends by taking online classes whenever possible. Things I enjoy doing with children are reading, age-appropriate learning activities, arts and crafts, music appreciation, taking nature walks, and finding out what they love so I can tailor their needs. If you have pets, I would be happy to give them attention. I will supply references at the appropriate time. I hope to hear from you soon! * currently seeking Mondays and weekends only

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.

Hi there! I am a very reliable, patient, and creative person with over 18 years of experience caring for children, from infants to toddlers to teenagers. I absolutely enjoy being with children! The best part of working with kids is watching them grow, learn, laugh and know they are enjoying themselves. The most important part of working with children is their safety and that is always my number one concern, I treat these children as if they were my own. I always grow a special bond to each individual child. I'm a big animal lover so pets in the home is a definite plus! With all of my skills and experience, I can provide a supervised, safe, and stable environment for your children. I am currently seeking a full time position in the coming new year. Please feel free to reach out to me if you're interested in learning more about my background and skill set! I can provide my resume and references.

Hi! My name is Alynah, and I’m a 4th-year medical student. I recently moved to Boston to work at Harvard/BIDMC on a research fellowship prior to graduating with my MD. I am well-trained to handle various situations and am certified in BLS, CPR, and First Aid. As the oldest of four children and 26 grandchildren, I have spent much of my life watching, feeding, cleaning up after, playing with, and teaching kids of all ages. Since joining Sittercity, I have babysat 14 children between 10 months and 10 years and had a blast every time! During undergrad, I spent two years working with individuals with disabilities on college-level coursework, job applications, and social activities. I genuinely enjoy spending time with young people from all backgrounds. Being away from home makes me miss connecting with children, so hanging out with your kiddos in my free time would help Boston feel more like home. I have a car and am willing to drop off and pick up kids from extracurricular activities, help with homework, cook meals, run small errands, and more, as long as the tasks are clearly defined and agreed upon beforehand. I look forward to meeting you and your kiddos! Thank you for considering my application!
