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.

Stephanie has come over a few times to help me with my 13mo old daughter while I work from home. Stephanie is incredibly sweet and polite and plays so well with her. I was truly impressed with how well my daughter took to her as she hasn't had many sitters at all, they played so well together while I worked and I appreciate her help so much. I would consider Stephanie very reliable.

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'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.

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.

We had a great experience with Julia with our 10 month old daughter. We used Julia while we were visiting from out of town. We spoke on the phone and I spoke with a reference that had good experience as well. Julia was on time, very friendly and personable and a good communicator. I’d use Julia again if I were from the area.

Ava H., Nanny in Essex, MA 01929 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Ava, and I have 8 years of childcare experience caring for children of all ages. I’m comfortable supervising multiple children at once, so playdates and busy days are never an issue. I enjoy cooking, light housekeeping, and helping keep the home clean and organized for families. I love keeping kids active through playground trips, games, crafts, and fun activities while limiting screen time when possible. I encourage independence while always prioritizing safety and happiness. I also worked at the Essex County Sheriff’s Department as a youth counselor, where I supervised children, organized activities, and provided support when needed. I’m CPR and First Responder certified and have experience working with children with special needs, including ADHD, Down syndrome, and physical disabilities. I truly love working with children and would be honored to meet your family!
