Meet Salimah
- Comfortable with pets
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, Read more 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!

Although the kids enjoyed the time they spent with Salimah, she did not end up being a reliable hire. I turned down many other sitters to hire Salimah for consistent after school care for our family for the entire school year, and she quit after only working 4 days for us. Not only that, she quit by text "effective immediately" leaving us in the lurch and leaving my kids very confused. The whole experience was deeply disappointing.

I would like to have it noted that Salimah is an awesome nanny/babysitter! We are so pleased with everything she has done for our nine year old while watching him recently. She was able to really keep our son focused on fun, learning activities, games, drawing, some creative cooking. Things that were not just video game oriented. She was able to limit that which was great. And we just couldn't be happier with her attitude, her punctuality and flexibility. I highly recommend her as a babysitter.

She communicated well, was on time, put my five year old to bed without issue, and the kids thought she was nice!
