Hi! I am a 26-year-old Brookline resident currently working towards my Masters in Education from Lesley University. I have several years of nannying and babysitting experience, from kids as young as infants up to 12 years old. I take a warm and engaging approach to childcare. I worked at Boston Children's Museum for three years, giving me ample exposure to early education practices and the importance of play. I help kids use their imagination, be creative, develop a love of reading, and simply have fun, as that is what's most important for a child. I'm looking for a full time nanny job during the week. Something to note is that starting in the fall of 2023, I will have four-day availability, as I will be doing a practicum in a school for my grad program. However, I can assure you (and my references can too!) that I am an excellent caregiver and it is immediately apparent how much I truly care about creating a fulfilling, play-filled experience for the kids in my care.

I have attended Urban College of Boston as well as Fisher college. Being able to attend college gave me much more knowledge on working with children.
Back in 2013 I worked as a teacher assistant for Ana’s Little Angels. My responsibilities were to assist the lead teacher with activities, lunch, and classwork. Being able to work at this learning center pushed me more to not only want to learn more about children, it also has made me stronger as a parent.
The teachers along with the directors that I have worked with see the potential in me. The motivation and drive that I have allows me to want to learn more and more.
I would highly appreciate the opportunity to meet with you and talk about the position being offered. I have references that can be contacted to provide you with more information about my capabilities in this field.
