Valerie S., Nanny in Salem, MA 01970 with 12 years of paid experience

Hello parents! My name is Valerie, I am 30 years old and live in Somerville, MA. I have extensive childcare experience and I will do my best to share the condensed version. Buckle up, I started a babysitters club in high school and never looked back. Being trusted to care for children has been a gift and a job I don't take lightly. I do my best to provide a loving, patient, and playful approach. I practice a mix of positive discipline and the Montessori method. A little about my work experience. I have 6 years of preschool teaching experience and 15 years of professional childcare experience. I have provided before/after school care, overnight care, traveled abroad long term, live in and live out, and most recently ran a nanny share with two toddlers and two babies. I've spent the last 9 summers working at an overnight camp in Vermont with young girls and boys. In my time at camp I've worked in the Wilderness department teaching hard skills, High ropes course, Archery, and led trips in the White Mountains. I have a deep love for nature and enjoy spending time outside. I am currently transitioning out of my nanny job as my kiddos are off to school and daycare. I am pursuing a certification to become a doula and hope to focus on postpartum care/support once completed. In the meantime I am hoping to assist with date nights, interim nanny, travel, overnight, and back up care. In addition, I am able to prepare meals, run errands, care for pets, manage household tasks, house sit, assist in planning educational activities for children, potty train, sleep train, assist with transitions (moving out of crib, becoming an older sibling, etc.) and teach Spanish.

Tara L., Nanny in Salem, MA 01970 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello! Thanks for checking out my profile. As someone who spends all day learning and growing alongside children and adolescents, I'd love to find a great family to support on my evening/weekends. Currently, I am a school psychologist at a middle school in Natick. Prior to this degree, I worked as a family counselor and K-5 science/teaching associate at schools here in Manhattan as well as in sunny Menlo Park, CA. I also have prior experience as a nanny for two great families in Boston and San Francisco with children ranging from K-6th grade. Looking forward to meeting your family!

Dolma  T., Nanny in Salem, MA 01970 with 8 years of paid experience

Experienced Multilingual Nanny | CPR & First Aid Certified | Reliable, Calm, and Flexible Childcare I am a reliable, compassionate, and dedicated nanny and babysitter with over 10 years of childcare experience caring for children of different ages. Growing up in an orphanage with 40–45 children taught me responsibility, patience, empathy, and how to create a nurturing environment where everyone feels safe and supported. My strong Buddhist philosophy guides my caregiving, allowing me to bring mindfulness, compassion, and calmness into every interaction with children. I enjoy reading with children, preparing simple healthy meals, supporting daily routines, and keeping a clean, comfortable, and organized home. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and children’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I speak English, Mandarin, Hindi, Nepali, Tibetan, and the Amdo dialect, which helps me connect easily with multicultural families. My calm personality, strong values, and Buddhist-inspired approach help me create a peaceful, positive environment where children feel safe, supported, and happy. I am available for full-time nanny positions, babysitting, overnight care, and weekends. I am flexible, dependable, a non-smoker, do not drink alcohol, and I am committed to building warm, trusting, and respectful relationships with families while providing attentive, high-quality care. Thank you 🤗

We hired Dolma as the nanny for our 2.5 year old twin daughters and she cared for them during the work days for a 4 month period. She was extremely punctual, consistently coming in about 10 mins earlier than the actual start time. It was very clear that she was full of love for the twins and genuinely cared for them. Her cooking/feeding strategy worked really well with both our daughters. She also kept to our set routine which helped a lot. Most importantly, the twins really bonded with her loved having her. I recommend Dolma to anyone looking for a nanny.

We couldn’t have asked for a better nanny than Melissa. She was incredibly nurturing, reliable, and always went above and beyond for our daughter. Her kindness was invaluable, and our daughter absolutely adored her. Having Melissa’s daughter around was an added joy; she was delightful and well-behaved who became a wonderful playmate. I highly recommend her to any family in need of a caring and trustworthy nanny.

Marcela has been the best nanny for our 8 month old son - she is very patient with him, she plays with him all day, sings to him, and she was able to connect with him from day 1. She is truly reliable, very friendly and professional. We are very happy to have hired Marcela and would recommend her to all parents.
