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.
