A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Angela. I’ve been taking care of children for about 5 years, starting when my first niece was born. A year ago, I began caring for my youngest nephew, who was born extremely premature. That experience deeply inspired me and made me realize how much I enjoy caring for children.
I’m a very responsible, respectful, and patient person, especially with kids. I can help with meal preparation, keep the environment clean and safe, and support the child’s daily routine with love and attention.
I speak Spanish fluently, and my English is at a basic level, but I’m always willing to learn and improve. I don’t have a driver’s license at the moment, but I am a legal resident and completed high school in my home country.
I would be happy to meet your family and offer a safe and caring space for your little ones!

A little bit about me

HI! I am Cassidy, a 27 year old Interior Designer living in Melrose, MA. I have been nannying and babysitting since I was 16 years old. My experience ranges from a full-time position with a 3 month old and 2 year old, to a part-time nannying position with a 9 and 12 year old, and four years of experience with ages 4-8 in between. I have always had a passion for being a caregiver, being able to nurture and provide a happy, safe and comfortable environment will always be my top priority.

I am looking for a part-time position, either early morning or late afternoon care. I work full time 9-5, but love to stay active and busy. During the Fall I coach volleyball, so when I am not in season, I look forward to continuing to fill my time with being a caregiver and getting to know the amazing families I work with.😊
