I have an Infant Toddler Certificate, a Special Needs Certificate, an A.S. degree in Early Childhood Education a B.A. in Sociology and Anthropology and some graduate school course work in Social Work. I have been trained in CPR and first aid. I have years of experience working in Human Services and caring for adults also. I have experience working with both adults and children with special needs.I love animals, am a nonsmoker and have a clean driving record with a reliable car. I'm seeking a part-time position and can provide excellent references upon request. See my 5 star reviews. Although I clean up the kitchen after meals and toys after play, my focus is childcare and I do not provide housekeeping, laundry or errands. I am also equipped to provide childcare in my home and live in a safe, quiet neighborhood. I have toys, books, a comfortable play space, a quiet nap space, music, movies, etc. I can also provide snacks, diaper changes and potty training. See my 5 star reviews. Thank you. I hope to hear from you soon!

Stephanie M., Nanny in Essex, MA 01929 with 16 years of paid experience

I hold a degree in Child Development and Early Childhood Education and have extensive experience working with children. From 2009 to 2019, I taught preschool-aged children, fostering their growth and development through engaging activities and personalized care. In 2019 and 2021, I worked as a Head Camp Counselor at a Girl Scout Camp, where I planned and led programs to create a fun and enriching environment. In 2022, I was promoted to Program Manager at the camp, further expanding my leadership and organizational skills. Additionally, I have hands-on experience as a nanny for two children, ages 2 and 4, and babysat for a family with a toddler from 2022 until the end of January. My responsibilities include preparing simple meals, assisting with potty training, and keeping the child engaged through indoor and outdoor activities. During the spring I babysat a one year old a few times. This summer I have been babysitting a six and ten year old. I also babysat 20 month year old twins a few times recently. Working with children has always been my passion, and I am currently seeking a babysitting position a few days during the week with preschool or elementary-aged children. My goal is to provide a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment for the children in my care.

Gabriela R., Nanny in Essex, MA 01929 with 2 years of paid experience

I have over two years of experience as a professional nanny, caring for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged kids. Before becoming a nanny, I had extensive experience taking care of children in different settings, including babysitting for family and friends and assisting with childcare in community programs. Throughout my time as a babysitter I have developed strong skills in creating engaging activities, supporting early childhood development, and maintaining a structured yet fun environment. I’m experienced in meal preparation, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping, ensuring a smooth day for both children and parents. I am currently in the process of renewing my CPR certification to ensure I’m fully prepared for any emergency situations. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive.

Molly T., Nanny in Essex, MA 01929 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi there! My name is Molly and I am a 23 year old living in Allston. I currently work as a paralegal at a law firm but am hoping to change that! I have done child care for seven years, including a live in nanny position for two summers. I have definitely missed being in child care and would like to get back into as soon as possible. I absolutely adore children and would love the opportunity to spend time with yours playing and learning ( in a covid safe way, of course.) I am half-way vaccinated for COVID-19, my second vaccination will be next week! Please let me know if you have any questions for me, and please feel free to reach out anytime! :)

Jacqui O., Nanny in Essex, MA 01929 with 16 years of paid experience

I’m a 53 year old mom of two girls ages 18 & 26. I have worked in child care most of my adult life in a variety of settings - substitute teaching, daycare, preschool and nannying. I have experience with all ages from infant to teens. My first nanny job was for 14 years for one child who is now 32 years old and still a big part of my life. I also nannied for 7 years for another child at the same time (nanny share). I started with those two children when they were 2 months old. I took a break from child care for about 15 years to take care of my own children and try a different career which dissolved with the arrival of covid. I love working with children. It is what fills my heart and makes me happy.
