Hello!

My name is Bryana Williams and I am a 21-year-old recent college grad and plan on attending law school in the fall!
I am interested in caring for children during the summer and hopefully being able to continue while I'm in school.
I have experience caring for children in both at-home care, daycares, and orphanages!
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.

Boston$18/hr | 6 yrs experience

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!
