Pre-pandemic I was a lead preschool teacher, primarily working with 2-3 year olds. I am a very creative person and love making learning exciting and fun. I also have a dance and theater background. I've taught dance and theater to elementary aged children in addition to teaching music and yoga to the children at the preschool/daycare I previously worked at.

As someone who´s passion for caring children, I was delighted to see your recent advertisement seeking a babysitter. Looking after kids demand a lot of energy and attention to detail, but I enjoy it wholeheartedly. I passionately believe that 5 years of babysitting experience paired with my certifications make me the candidate you are looking for. I am the best caregiver for your little one.
I babysit two young girls, who are 8 and 9 years old. I’ve helped both learn through educational games and assistance with homework since the pandemic parents have to work and children need guide to accomplish their tasks for school, while also creating a calm, positive home atmosphere for when they’re not focused on school-related activities. During my 5 years at the Day Care Center and families, I’ve received the most rewarding positive feedback from the Institution, parents and children.
I without a doubt have been blessed to enjoy a job where I can interact with kids on a daily basis.
Thanks

I am a musician, composer, writer, and visual artist.
I have been babysitting on and off for the past 12 years (since I was 15) and I always love when I have opportunities to play and connect with kids. They naturally make the world a brighter place.

I am also interested in energy healing (I am a level one Reiki healer) and more spiritually-based practices. Which basically means that I believe we are all connected and there are always reasons for us to be kind and compassionate to ourselves and others.

Hi! My name is Zoë, and I am a college student currently living in Boston, MA. As the oldest in a long string of cousins, I grew up with the responsibilities of caring for the children in my family. As I got older, I began babysitting for an extensive network of families in the community. I then pursued a four-year-long internship in an integrated-needs preschool, which inspired me to join the educational field. Working so closely, for so long, with so many students, opened my eyes to the needs of children from every walk of life. The inclusive setting of that classroom has given me valuable experience with modified sign langauge, children diagnosed with Autism and ADHD, physically impaired students, and children of all cognitive and behavioral levels. Childcare is absolutely my passion, and I can envision no better way to work towards my degree than caring for and teaching other tiny humans.
