Kiara P.
- 5 years paid experience
- 12 miles
Hi! I’m a caring and reliable nanny with over 5 years of paid experience working with children from infants to preschool age. I’ve spent years in childcare center, and I’m currently in school pursuing my degree in Early Childhood Development, so I love bringing both hands-on experience and what I’m learning into my work. I’m all about creating a warm, safe, and fun environment where kids can learn, play, and just be themselves. Whether it’s helping with routines, planning little activities, or just being a supportive, positive presence, I truly enjoy what I do and love building strong connections with the families I work with.❤️

Kiara is amazing with our 5 and 1 year old girls. They get excited when we tell them she's coming over. She is so good at interacting with them, and making them feel safe to be themselves. Only thing I'd change is I wish there were 2 of her!

Hi! My name is Sara Coughlin and I am a post grad college student from western mass! I am 23 years old and I graduated class of 2021 from my local high school, and finished my undergraduate in human development last year. I have always been good with and genuinely loved being with kids, and have babysat and helped with kids of all ages since I was younger helping out in Child Watch at the YMCA. I have been certified for babysitting by the American Red Cross for years, as well as First aid and I was recently recertified. I love kids as I have always had little cousins and work with kids a lot, I love animals, and helping people, and am very outgoing, caring, and adventurous, which is why babysitting is such a perfect fit for me for a part time job whenever I can! I have been a kids camp unit director and counselor in the summers and it was the best part of my summer high school days! More recently I run programs and work in the schools. I have experience and love working with any ages and behavioral or ability needs as well. I have experience with casual sitting, date nights, bedtime routines, wedding sitter/help, and much more and I love it all! I’d love to make use of before school hours 6:00 am-8:00 am ish and after school hours or late hours even on weekdays too. Please reach out I’m happy to discuss and see if I can help in any way!

Olivia R.

Hi! My name is Olivia. I am 22 years old. I nannied a little girl full-time for a year, starting when she was 4 months. I have also been formally babysitting since I was 13, although I have always loved playing with kids and helping out in things like my church nursery. With my past babysitting jobs I have done things like taking the kids outside, playing hide-and-seek and tag, drawing with chalk, building legos, reading books, and playing imaginary games with them. I have briefly been a nanny for a 7 year old girl and an informal nanny for many different families over the years. I also most recently worked as the after-school coordinator for a classical Christian school. My dream is to someday be a stay-at-home mom, so doing housework is a passion of mine. In the midst of babysitting, I always try to keep the environment clean and leave it neater than I found it. I am a Christian and as a result I try to always be honest and caring as I seek to glorify and honor my Savior. I'm excited to work with you!

Olivia is nice. She came in on time and was flexible enough to stay another extra hour.

My family owned and operated a fully licensed childcare center in our home; so, growing up, as the firstborn I was literally born into childcare. I have impeccable experience that has been lifelong.
