Hi, I love caring for infants and toddlers. I also have experience working with preschool and school age children. I have worked in family daycare, daycare centers, Head Start and in private homes. I have an Infant Toddler Certificate, a Special Needs Certificate, an A.S. degree in Early Childhood Education a B.A. in Sociology and Anthropology and some graduate school course work in Social Work. I have been trained in CPR and first aid. I have years of experience working in Human Services and caring for adults also. I have experience working with both adults and children with special needs.I love animals, am a nonsmoker and have a clean driving record with a reliable car. I'm seeking a part-time position and can provide excellent references upon request. See my 5 star reviews. Although I clean up the kitchen after meals and toys after play, my focus is childcare and I do not provide housekeeping, laundry or errands. I am also equipped to provide childcare in my home and live in a safe, quiet neighborhood. I have toys, books, a comfortable play space, a quiet nap space, music, movies, etc. I can also provide snacks, diaper changes and potty training. See my 5 star reviews. Thank you. I hope to hear from you soon!

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Special Education Moderate Disabilities K-8, teaching certificates in Massachusetts and Washington state, and certifications in Crisis Prevention & Intervention and Adult/Child/Baby First Aid/CPR/AED. I am a compassionate, responsible, and energetic nanny with a genuine love for working with children. With 10 years of experience in childcare—ranging from full-time nannying to teaching in special education elementary schools and middle schools—I have cared for children of various ages, from toddlers to pre-teens. I have a strong history of dependability and reliability. As a warm, patient, and creative nanny, I am able to form strong and trusting bonds with children. I enjoy engaging activities such as crafts, reading, outdoor play, and age-appropriate learning games, and am open to taking children on excursions in the community if desired.

We had a great experience with Julia with our 10 month old daughter. We used Julia while we were visiting from out of town. We spoke on the phone and I spoke with a reference that had good experience as well. Julia was on time, very friendly and personable and a good communicator. I’d use Julia again if I were from the area.

I've worked in childcare since sophomore year of high-school doing after school programs and babysitting. I am CPR certified and have plenty of experience with children from infant to middle school, as well as children with autism and other neurodiversities. I firmly believe in patience, calm voices, and creative solutions when working with children. I like to meet kids where they're at and form trust between us so we can get along well and respect one another. Currently, I am 25 and looking to work with younger children of smaller families as I am dealing with difficulty working due to Ehlers Danlos and other disabilities. I can hold babies, change diapers, make bottles and cook, play, and put kids down for nap, but struggle with lots of running and very active play due to my physical limitations, as well as long hours or several work days back to back. I am also trans and would like to work with welcoming and accepting families of the lgbt community.

We had Reese come to take care of our cats, and he was awesome! One of our cats it diabetic and needs an insulin injection with his meals while the other has anxiety and usually takes a while to warm up to new people, and both seemed to do really well with him. Reese was also very communicative and gave us the kitty updates, we always appreciate.

Abigail helped my family between January and May of 2025. She was amazing with my kids and they naturally bonded with her. She helped tutor each child based on their needs in English and Math (1st grader, 3rd grader, and 5th grader), and was a wonderful influence on them and their behavior. She helped with errands when needed such as groceries, Dr appointments, and even did some light cleaning. She helped ensure my kids did their homework when they got home and their chores as needed. She provided sufficient communication on her availability, confirmed pickup logistics each week, and was very dependable and on time. She was a delight to work with, hope she will return to help the family out in the future, and you would be lucky to have her as a sitter.

My approach is lighthearted, warm, patient, creative, learning-centered, & friendly. I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and educational activities. I am First Aid, CPR Training, and personal development certified. Happy to assist with cooking, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming/sports supervision.

I am currently available for occasional/as needed evening and weekend babysitting. I have 20+ years of babysitting/nannying experience on the North shore and was also a preschool teacher in Topsfield for a few years. As a mom myself, I know how hard it can be to find reliable, trustworthy sitters. If I sound like I could be a good fit for your family, please don't hesitate to reach out.
