Kerry anne S., Child Care in Waltham, MA 02453 with 11 years of paid experience

I have been a caregiver for over 10 years. I tried a few different jobs during my early twenties and found caregiving kind of by accident but have loved ever second of it. I love how everyday is different and exciting, and working with kids is so much fun. I mean who wouldn't want to go to work and laugh everyday. I try to keep things interesting for the kids I'm working with as well, by trying to get out of the house and do fun activities or even try to find fun games to play around the house. I have worked with a wide range of clients from brand new newborns to older children as well as a few jobs with the elderly. I am a hard worker who is always willing to go the extra mile for my clients, I believe that I'm there to help make the parents lives a little less stressful so I'm always willing to lend a hand with housework or errands, driving from place to place for pick ups/drop offs.

Stephanie S., Child Care in Waltham, MA 02453 with 20 years of paid experience

**Mature, Dependable, Punctual, Warm, Fun, Joyful, Patient, Career Nanny of 20+ years is seeking date night and/or weekend positions, including weekend overnights. I am only free on Friday afternoons to Sunday evenings.** I am passionate about my work as a nanny and consider it to be a noble and worthy endeavor. I am devoted to giving the children in my care the absolute best of everything: focused attention, nurturing, healthy foods, love and affection. One of my best qualities is being able to really engage and get into a child's world. I am a connector. This breeds trust and facilitates positive and healthy behavior in children. I love to play and be silly and help children develop their imaginations. I will do anything for a laugh. I am also a classically trained singer/pianist and am always making up songs and singing around my charges. Music is a great educator and so important to the development of a young child. I have a calm, easygoing personality and I am extremely patient, gentle and observant. I am a proponent for validating children's feelings and making them feel heard and seen. I practice saying 'please and thank you' with them as infants and by the time they are two they usually are saying it back to me. On walks to the park or elsewhere, I am always looking for teaching opportunities. I'll tip the stroller back to have them look up at the leaves on the trees or point out the bees kissing the flowers. I even make diaper changing fun. Modeling joy and positivity for children is deeply important to me.

Carine R., Child Care in Waltham, MA 02453 with 6 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Carine Roland, and caring for children has always been a true passion of mine. I’m a college-educated individual with several years of hands-on experience working with kids of all ages and abilities. Most recently, I served as a Program Coordinator at Massachusetts General Hospital, where I supported a program focused on preventing mental illness in young children through early intervention. (You can learn more about the program here:https://earlybrain.massgeneral.org/team/). I’ve also worked as a weekend nanny for over three years for a wonderful family in Boston, in addition to caring for many of my younger family members. I’ve supported children with special needs—including ADHD, learning disabilities, autism, and rare genetic conditions—and I always strive to meet each child where they are with patience, kindness, and care. I treat every child as if they were my own, and I believe every child deserves to grow up feeling safe, seen, and supported. Safety and emotional well-being are always my top priorities, and I strongly believe that children should be treated with respect and guided with consistency, positivity, and empathy. I love doing fun and enriching activities with kids like arts and crafts, outdoor play, swimming, cooking, and reading. I’m also a tutor and enjoy supporting early learning and school readiness in playful and approachable ways. Young children are incredibly impressionable, and I believe it’s essential to be a positive role model in their lives. It only takes one nurturing adult to make a lasting impact on a child’s self-esteem and development—and I take that responsibility to heart. I bring warmth, reliability, and genuine care to every family I work with. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile—I’d love the opportunity to speak with you more about how I can be a positive and supportive addition to your family. ❤️

Hello Families, I am Allison, I grew up in Cambridge, I am 37 years young. I have 14 years' experience; I have a Montessori based teaching style. Childcare is a huge passion of mine. Helping cultivate children's development, growth, and building their interests and personality is priority. Instilling confidence, self-awareness, and sense of safety and love are vital. I mold my teaching style to each family and child's needs to provide the best learning environment for them. Every child and family have different needs and goals which I work with as a unit, it takes a village right! I have experience with at home private care, as well as center-based care. I have worked a Bright Horizons for most of my center-based carrier, though the Rock and Roll Daycare was my favorite school to teach at which was music based. I love music, art, and culture. I love to play all kinds of music and read books with different cultures, growing an early understanding that it is a big world with so many different cultures and people is something to start off early with I believe.
