Maureen was absolutely wonderful with our 2-3 year old, reliable and consistent for a regular sitting position over several months. Our daughter LOVES her, and so do we. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Ariyana C., Nanny in Amherst, MA 01002 with 1 year of paid experience

My passion for working with children started when I was little since I would often care for children of family friends. I enrolled in an Early Education and Care (EEC) course in high school to pursue my passion. I graduated from high school with a certificate of completion from my high school EEC course. I also graduated from early college high school with an associates degree in Liberal Arts. I am currently attending a four-year college towards a degree in Biochemistry. I am still employed at a daycare I started working at in February 2024. I have one year of paid experience from the daycare and have been trained in pediatric CPR/First Aid and mandated reporter training. I have been trained in other areas such as EEC Essentials and safety when playing outdoors. My other experiences include taking a four-month externship at an elementary school as well as assisting at my high school's daycare as part of the Early Education and Care curriculum for two years. Recently, I looked after a toddler in my neighborhood during the beginning of this year.

Gabrielle D., Nanny in Amherst, MA 01002 with 7 years of paid experience

After 10 years playing, teaching, and exploring with my nanny families in New York City, I am so excited to bring my passion for childcare to Western Massachusetts! I began nannying while studying at NYU, hoping to lend a hand to busy families. I coordinated school pickups, facilitated playdates, survived many infant swim lessons, helped with homework, gallivanted around the park, devised at-home science and art projects, and stewarded children ranging from 9 months-13 years old through their social-emotional development and adjustment to the world. I am especially interested in and adapt at working with young queer and trans children, as well as sensitive, introspective, and/or shy children. My drive for nannying came from my experience growing up with a single mom: I saw firsthand how invaluable trusted sitters were for my development, and it would be a joy to become apart of your family's village!
