Hii i’m Azarya i’m 21 years old and i’m a certified nursing assistant and also have done babysitting since i have 16 from ages new born-14 year olds. I truly have a passion for providing care and love to build bonds with children!!

I have been a private career nanny for multiple families (for ages 7 months and up) for over 14 years now, as well as a daycare teacher assistant and an Au Pair. I connect very well with children; I enjoy working with the magical little beings because I’m inspired by their contagiously high-spirits and spontaneous creativity! I offer children an abundance of presence and play. I encourage nature-based exploration, creativity cultivation, and problem-solving. I draw inspiration from elements of alternative education philosophies, but I’m mostly interested in letting the child lead while I provide the appropriate boundaries and guidance. Each child is so unique, and my goal is to facilitate their unfolding. I would be a good fit for your family if you are looking for a responsible nanny with a good heart, an authentic appreciation for kids, and someone who will provide a positive contribution to their development.

I am an energetic, creative, and outgoing childcare provider. I have been babysitting regularly since I was 16 and have nannied professionally both full-time and part-time for the past 2.5 years. In addition to this, I am a trained camp counselor, Red Cross CPR and First Aid certified, and I'm also certified to work in NY State daycares. I absolutely love learning and try to incorporate educational activities whenever possible with the children in my care, working on color recognition, letters, counting, and early reading skills. I love playing with children and making them laugh, as well as planning fun activities and outings such as arts and crafts projects, baking, and science experiments. I have built long-term and lasting relationships with the families I have provided childcare for in the past and have multiple glowing letters of recommendation that I would be happy to provide along with my resume and certificates. I have cared for children as young as 5 months old to as old as 12 years. I also have a lot of experience in sick care and overnight care. Currently, I am a sophomore sociology major enrolled at Umass Amherst, and I have some weekday, weekend, and date night availability.

Hi, My name is Katie, I have experience working with all age groups- infants, toddlers, and preteens. I love what I do! I have been a nanny for about 10 years... Everyday is packed full of fun-making cookies out of clay, playing cars, talking about cartoons, packing picnics for the park, counting, learning colors, learning manners, speech development, sharing, playing with peers, bike rides/wagon rides all around the neighborhood and more. During the years (2017- March 2020), I cared for 3 children - 2 girls and 1 boy. Their ages were 6, 4 and 2. I was with them for a little over 2 years. My hours were from 9am to 3pm in the Summer and 9am to 5pm during the school year. My job duties included entertaining the children with various activities (soccer, arts and crafts, card/board games, baking, ect), drop-offs/pick-ups from school, hosting playdates, helping with homework, as well grocery shopping and keeping the house tidy. I miss the family very much. At the end of 2020, I worked with a temp agency and I was matched with a lovely family with 3 young children. They were 5 months, 4 and 6 years old. We did a lot of fun activities at home due to Covid. We read books, baked cookies, jumped on the trampoline, played games, and sang songs. And I continue to do on-call/temp work for them until I can find something permanent. I would love to meet you and your family to see if I would be a good fit- My availability is 8am to 4pm. I love what I do and hope to hear back from you soon. My rate is $35 per hour. Thank you, Katie

Hi there, my name is Madeline! I’m extremely passionate about working with young children and providing support to families. I’m currently obtaining my doula certification as working with infants and children brings me a level of joy and fulfillment that nothing else does. I would absolutely love to provide my skills gained over 9 years of nanny/babysitting experience to your family! I’m nurturing, warm, kind, caring, playful, compassionate, attuned, receptive, joyful, reliable, and unconditionally loving. I love to bring children out into nature to explore and connect with themselves and the natural world around them. I don’t use screens or allow children to use screens while I provide care unless necessary. I believe it’s important for children to feel seen, heard, and valued by their caregivers and not having screens allow for this connection. I’ve provided in home care while parents work from home if that is of interest. I’m excited to connect and support your beautiful family!
