With two decades of experience sitting for newborns through teens, I am available primarily for a position that has evening or weekend hours, though can do some daytime hours as well. I am outgoing, engaged, and safety conscious. I also communicate openly and timely with families. Though happy to work with all ages, I have worked most extensively with infants and toddlers. I am also a licensed foster parent through DCF, providing short term foster care for infants up to the age of two years old. My parenting is re-evaluated and re-accredited annually.

Hello! My name is Salimah. I have worked on and off in childcare for about 10 years. My experience includes working with infants, toddlers, and school aged children. My most extensive experience has been with infants and toddlers. My formal experience includes working in a daycare setting, home daycare, and most recently (before my temporary move out of state) working for a larger Childcare Agency that serves families in and around the Boston Area who are in need of last minute reliable childcare. I pride myself in my gentle and nurturing approach to childcare, along with patience, as I understand the transition period as a child adjust to being cared for by someone who they are unfamiliar with. Some of the duties I provide as an experienced caregiver includes: Supporting children's emotional and social development by guiding children through engaging and productive activities to a foster fun learning environment, whilst using positive reinforcement and behavior modeling.Open and clear communication with parents about daily activities, behaviors, and meals/sleep logs.Organized and planned age-appropriate reading, crafts and other engaging activities to encourage creativity and expression. Sanitized toys and tables to maintain a clean, safe environment. In my free time, I enjoy spending time in nature, reading , sewing, studying herbalism, gardening, and traveling. I am available to provide both long term and short term care for families. I’m looking forward to finding the next family that I’ll be working with, whether it be short term, long-term, or just a one-time booking. It’s important that we both feel we’re the right match for one another, so I appreciate you taking the time to read through my bio. I hope to connect soon!

I really enjoy kids! They are naturally authentic and interested in the world. I studied Math and Education in college, and got teaching experience in classrooms ranging from kindergarten to high school. I got certified to teach secondary math, and went on to do a year of Americorps service after college. I moved to Boston in 2007 and began babysitting until I figured out what was next. I enjoyed what I was doing so much that I went on to become a full time nanny the following year. I worked for three years for a family with three children- ages 2, 5, and 7 when I started. After the youngest was off to kindergarten, I took a new position, a nanny share caring for two 2-year old girls. I’ve also babysat for multiple families over the years ranging from overnights with infant twins to school vacation help for 12-year olds. I taught the preschool class at my church for 5 years as well. In October 2012, I had a daughter of my own! I began bringing her along to babysitting/ nanny positions, which worked out quite well. In 2019, after working as a nanny/ babysitter for 12 years, I transitioned to teaching. I worked as an assistant in a combined Pre-K/Kindergarten class for four years before becoming the lead teacher of a separate Pre-K class. I had another daughter in January 2024 and am currently exploring the possibility of a babysitting position where I can bring my 1-year old daughter along.

Hello! I am Akira Harper. I am one of five children in my family, so I have learned to operate amongst chaos. I am currently a research assistant, working towards getting my PhD in STEM Education and Teacher Development at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, so my schedule is somewhat flexible. Starting at a young age, I have always worked with children and started by looking after my siblings. I've been currently working with children with and without disabilities, since high school and I love it. I am quick to learn and face every challenge head on! Furthermore, I have a car and I am fully vaccinated and I am tested weekly while living on campus. Additionally, I am in the midst of renewing both my CPR and First Aid certifications and those should be all set within the next couple of weeks! I look forward to hearing from you and your family.

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. ❤️
