A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Narlee.

I am a sophomore at UMB. I worked as a preschool teacher during my high school years and graduated with my certificate in early childhood. I chose that profession because I truly believe that children are the future and their childhood is the foundation for adulthood; therefore, they should have many good people around them—their parents, teachers, siblings, other family members, and good neighbors and friends—from whom they can learn and adopt morals and values.

A little bit about me

Hi there, my name is Cindy! I grew up and lived in Medford my entire life. My passion for childcare began early in life. My mother ran a family daycare center in our home, so I spent a lot of time around children of all ages-infants to school aged children. I also spent a few months caring for a 3-year-old boy on the autism spectrum. I have 4 years of valuable experience caring for children and have enjoyed every moment I spent with them. I studied Psychology at UMass Lowell and earned my bachelor's degree, something I was genuinely passionate about and enjoyed learning. During my studies, I also worked part-time as an assistant at my mother’s daycare center, where I helped care for a group of wonderful children. I learned a lot about child development and developed a deeper understanding on how to support children emotionally and mentally.

A little bit about me

Very nurturing and friendly nanny with over 15+ years of childcare experience. I have been the "neighborhood babysitter" since I was 13 years old, and I've only continued to gain experience with children ever since. I've also worked in an elementary school as a teaching specialist for over a year- I absolutely love all children and have a true passion for them. I am extremely personable, healthy, and social. I love to cook, stay organized, and I'm always trying to learn something new. I would love to secure a good nannying position with the right family.

Recent reference

"Willow was a teacher in the classroom at the preschool my toddler attended. My sensory seeking toddler was supported and experienced rapid growth in her time there. When biting behaviors emerged, Willow was proactive, understanding, and sensitive to the feelings I might have around the issue. She was patient and non-judgemental, talking me through the actions the staff were taking and that I could try at home to support my child. She suggested and employed strategies that both helped my child immensely and were gentle and up to date with current parenting techniques. Willow’s ability to diffuse any situation with this unpredictable age group speaks to her patience, positive response in stressful situations, and years of experience working with children. My toddler still talks about Willow even though she has moved up to the preschool classroom, and I believe the friendship they built will leave a lasting impression on my child. She would be a special addition to any family."
