A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Camryn and I am a junior at Northeastern University. I study journalism with minors in public relations and film studies, so I love all things pop culture! I have two younger siblings and six younger cousins who I have naturally assumed babysitting roles for. I worked with an incoming preschooler as my first official job and taught him the alphabet as well as some simple counting.
I am CPR certified for infants and children. I love finding ways to get creative and outside, when the weather is nice, when playing with kids. I try to be as hands-on as possible and let them use their imagination.
My schedule is quite flexible as I am a full-time student and I am able to travel throughout Boston easily.

A little bit about me
Hi!! My name is Clara and I’m currently a second-year nursing student at Northeastern University. I am offering child care as well as help with household tasks. I’ve loved working with kids for years and have experience caring for children of different ages through summer camps as well as babysitting on and off throughout high school and college. I enjoy creating fun, engaging activities while also making sure kids feel safe, supported, and cared for. In addition to child care, I’m happy to help with household chores, light cleaning, meal prep, and running errands if needed. I also work at a hospital as a Patient Care Assistant, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility, attentiveness, and ability to stay calm in any situation. And I am CPR certified. I would describe myself as reliable, patient, and warm, and I truly enjoy helping families make their day-to-day lives a little easier.
