Hi, my name is Mia! I'm fourteen and have two-year experience with watching kids. At the moment I'm searching for a job from early June to around Mid/late July! So a temporary one if that's what you need. I would make sure that your kids have the best time while of course keeping them safe!

Hi, Im Breana! I have been working with children since I was 15. I started off as a camp counselor and the YMCA working with 5-12-year-olds. Then, in 2016 I began working at a child care center where I taught preschool and toddlers for 3 years. While being there I earned my lead teacher licenses. I then moved on to another day care that I have been at for 2 years where I still teach toddlers, and I am looking to move on to being a full time nanny because over the beginning of the covid quarantine I nannied two children from the center while we were closed. (4months & 4yrs) While their parents worked from home upstairs we did school like curriculum, enjoyed the outdoors, and I fed them throughout the day. I throughly enjoyed it! I love working with children and helping them reach their most important milestones throughout their development, and bringing smiles to their adorable faces! I am cpr and first aid certified! Also, am up to date on EEC certifications.

I am a very reliable & flexible person and would love to become a caregiver for a wonderful family! :)

Brighton, Boston$18/hr | < 1 yr experience

Have moved backed to the Boston area after 12 years working with children in Colorado. I worked in a small licensed daycare with infants 2 months to 3 years. I also babysat for many of the children including their older siblings (often times graduates of our program). Getting down on the floor with the kids, reading, doing simple crafts projects, and playing outside summer and winter was great fun for all! At our program I was the lead teacher so part of my responsibility and experience includes designing developmentally appropriate activities. When I babysit I also love to take kids on outings to the park, sledding, or just taking a walk. While the kids are napping or asleep I'm happy to help with simple household duties like running a load of the kids laundry or doing meal prep/cleanup.

I have been working in the travel industry for a year now and I am looking to go back to caring for children. I previously worked with kids and dogs and I miss it very much. I am very good with kids (a fan favorite of my little cousins). I studied psychology at the University of Alabama with a focus on human development and aging. I know how to keep a child calm and entertained. I've basically been a built-in family nanny with my own large extended family for most of my life. I am the first they call and the best at all things kid related. I also love to cook and I meal prep my own meals which is a skill I have found very useful when caring for children. I am very active and can certainly keep up with even the speediest of toddlers. I would love to work with you and your family!
