Sittercity helps Wayland families find the best nannies

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.

Hi! My name is Alynah, and I’m a 4th-year medical student. I recently moved to Boston to work at Harvard/BIDMC on a research fellowship prior to graduating with my MD. I am well-trained to handle various situations and am certified in BLS, CPR, and First Aid. As the oldest of four children and 26 grandchildren, I have spent much of my life watching, feeding, cleaning up after, playing with, and teaching kids of all ages. I was employed for one year in high school, caring for a 4-year-old and a 13-month-old toddler. Since then, I have held several jobs, including working with children of all ages, and volunteering at daycares in my free time during my undergraduate studies. Additionally, during undergrad, I spent two years working with individuals with disabilities on college-level coursework, job applications, and social activities. I genuinely enjoy spending time with young people from all backgrounds. Being away from home makes me miss connecting with children, so hanging out with your kiddos in my free time would help Boston feel more like home. I have a car and am willing to drop off and pick up kids from extracurricular activities, help with homework, cook meals, run small errands, and more, as long as the tasks are clearly defined and agreed upon beforehand. I look forward to meeting you and your kiddos! Thank you for considering my application!

Hello, I am an experienced nanny who has cared for children of all ages. I am the middle of 10 children, so I have been babysitting since I was 10 years old. I have a psychology degree, teaching certification, and I am trained in mindfulness. I’m also a holistic health coach and work part time for a global health and wellness company. I have been nannying for the past 20 years and I also tutor. I taught 5th grade in New Jersey and 4th grade in Needham, MA. I was also an early intervention tutor in grades K-3 in Natick for 5 years.

Hi! My name is Lauren and I hail from a background in school safety and emergency preparedness. 🎒Let me tell you why I would be a great match for your kid/s. I have a wide array of interests from design and art, any outdoor recreation, cooking, history, fiction fanatic, and technology. My sense of humor makes kids comfortable, and my wild imagination keeps them entertained. 🪁I connect intuitively with children, and aim to strike a balance between physical and mental activity, while identifying cues for downtime. I am immensely goofy, creative, an avid reader, TV-averse, a champion of silly stories, and can make yummy balanced meals! 👩‍🚒 Most recently, I am a seasonal wildland firefighter for the federal government. This summer I am taking a break after several intense years, and recalibrating while staying at my parents house in Needham. 🚙 I have a clean, well-maintained 2010 Honda Odyssey with a clean driving record, and I am a confident city driver, even with a car full of energetic kids! I have passed several driving exams and driving courses for work. Additional relevant background: 🦺 ⛑️Pre-Firefighting I was a crisis response specialist for schools of all sizes, guiding them through any type of emergency or disaster alongside first responders. I have been a CPR/First Aid/Search and Rescue instructor for educators, and I regularly receive training and volunteer for Red Cross and FEMA. As a post-grad I worked as an EMT in the Middle East. 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦Pre-Covid, I spent several years nannying long-term between two families, one of which has a child with severe mental and physical disabilities, and this is where I learned to care for a child, rather than just babysit. I have also been babysitting or a camp counselor since age 12. Looking forward to meeting a great family!

I’ve had a passion for caring for kids for as long as I can remember. Even as a child, I loved helping care for younger kids at church, in my family, or anywhere I had the chance. I have experience as a babysitter, substitute teacher, and Residential Advisor, which has helped me develop strong communication skills, conflict resolution strategies, and the ability to create safe, structured environments where kids can thrive. I’m comfortable caring for up to two children of all ages. Whether it’s leading fun, engaging activities, helping with meals and nap time, or just being a dependable presence, I’m ready to support your family in whatever way I can. I’ve worked with kids from a wide range of backgrounds and personalities, and I love building connections with each of them. I’m excited to create a fun and safe space while gaining more experience and meeting your family’s needs.
