I have eight years of experience with kids. This experience has mostly come from teaching in various forms including dance, piano, and traditional academics. Additionally, I have experience babysitting and being a parent’s helper. I am comfortable with all aspects of childcare (such as feeding milk/solids, diapers, driving, naps, bedtime, enrichment…). I am also comfortable with a variety of animals and happy to assist in their care.

Brooke watched our 7 month old daily for a few months and did a spectacular job. She was consistently on-time, had great instincts, listened to what we wanted, and always ensured our baby was happy and safe. She supported in meeting the day to day needs of our child (diaper changes, taking walks around the area, playing with her, feedings, etc.) but also participated in introducing her to solid foods, sleep training, and even occasionally provided us very useful recommendations to improve their development. We only stopped working with her after we moved a few states away and we were very sad that we would have to find a replacement. If we lived in her area again we wouldn't hesitate to hire her to watch our child. Any family would be lucky to have her!

Fostering a child’s growth and development is my true passion, fueled by three years of rewarding experience in childcare. I pride myself on being a patient, calm, and approachable caregiver who is comfortable looking after up to three children, ranging from infants to pre-teens. My background as a Certified Nursing Assistant, combined with my CPR Training and First Aid Training, ensures that your little ones are in safe, capable hands. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules and am happy to assist with carpooling, light housekeeping, or travel needs. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, exploring educational games, or using technology-based apps, I love keeping children engaged. I prioritize your preferred communication method to keep you updated on your child’s day. I look forward to bringing my dedication and energy to your family, helping your children thrive every single day. As I am still at the beginning of my English learning journey, I would especially love the opportunity to work with a Brazilian Portuguese-speaking family. At the moment, I am not yet fully comfortable communicating in English for longer conversations. All of my professional experience and certifications were completed in Brazil, and unfortunately I do not yet have U.S.-based certifications or studies. However, I do have proof of my experience and qualifications, and I would truly appreciate the opportunity to demonstrate my dedication, responsibility, and genuine care for children.

Hello! My name is Emma and I am 20 years old. I have been babysitting since I was 12, with multiple babysitting gigs throughout the years. From family members to family friends I always had a great time taking care of children. I have a lot of skills working with autistic children. I am patient with children and believe in gentle learning. I have my own car and am comfortable driving your little one wherever they may need to go. I have never been in a car accident and am an extremely careful driver. I work at a beauty store so I always have tons of nail polish and hair styling things that could make a fun activity.

My name is Jenasha, but I go by Jen or whatever is easier for you. Hi, how are you? I currently just moved to the area from New York. I have past experience working with kids as a child care worker & shift supervisor at The House of the Good Shepherd in Utica, NY. I worked with multiple kids who suffered mental/behavioral issues from past abuse. I’ve also worked as a program assistant at the YMCA in New Hartford, NY. Before the YMCA, I worked at a nursing home for 2 years, during my time there I worked as a recreation leader where I helped senior citizens complete daily tasks & entertain them throughout their day. I love animals as well as the outdoors so I am available to take the kids on any adventures deemed appropriate by parents!

Hi! My name is Kassie, and I am 22 years old. It is nice to meet you! A bit about me: I would describe myself as easygoing, quiet, calm, mature, hardworking, resilient, kind, observant, accepting, and a good listener. Though I am more of a homebody, it is still vital to get out now and then. As a self-described nature enthusiast, I find just being outside, preferably surrounded by trees or woods, as well as going on long walks and hiking, relaxing. I also enjoy exploring antique shops, love animals of all kinds, and am an avid music listener. I am Adult and Pediatric CPR/First Aid certified through the American Red Cross. Currently, I am a full-time online student at NHTI, a local community college in my town, just ten minutes away from where I live. I enrolled for an associate's degree majoring in Early Childhood Education. After graduating, I plan to start as an assistant teacher and, one day, become a full-time one. So far, it has been such a great experience. Presently, as part of the degree program, the most enjoyable part is working directly with young children while volunteering at the daycare center on my college's campus. I found that I genuinely love every minute I spend with the children there; the ages range from infants to 4 years old. I only have a small glimpse into their day, but even that brings me joy. I get to witness their interactions and conversations. Each child's personality is truly unique, which comes out while playing and interacting with them. Just being there for those small moments is really the best part of working and caring for children. I thoroughly value my time with them and am looking to gain further experience and knowledge not only for my future career but also for my current college studies.

Hello! I am currently in a part-time nannying position in Contoocook, NH, caring for four amazing children (ages including 3, 6, 9, and 12). I’ve now been caring for them for over a year, and living just about 80 feet away! It’s been so wonderful working with them and I truly love them with all my heart. However, I am currently in the process of moving to Brookline, MA. I will be fully prepared to work in early September and am seeking a part-time nannying position with some fun kiddos! I am also a full time remote student at Southern New Hampshire University. This year, I am a senior and pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Child and Adolescent Developmental Psychology. I am have taken multiple courses in ASL (American Sign Language) and feel enthusiastic about practicing with your children! Throughout my childhood, my mother has managed to open and hold a successful childcare establishment. She sectioned off portions of our home to dedicate solely for her business and taught me how to care and love growing children and practice work ethic and timeliness. Growing up with so many children around allowed me to, not only always have access to friends and social interaction, but it allowed me to understand from an early age what children require to thrive mentally and physically. As I aged, I formed professional relationships with many parents of the children. This later turned into routine babysitting occurrences!
