A little bit about me

Hi! I am a senior at Providence College in Rhode Island, studying Elementary and Special Education.

I plan to start my master’s program after I graduate in May, and I’m looking for a nanny position where I can support a family while continuing my education. I’m dependable, patient, and comfortable creating calm, structured routines. I’m happy to help with homework, light household tasks, and transportation.

A little bit about me

Hi everyone! My name is Caroline. I'm 19 years old and attend University of Massachusetts- Amherst. I am currently looking for any babysitting positions (preferably full time but part time works too!) for this upcoming summer. For the past year I have worked as a nanny for a wonderful family. I drove them to activities , picked them up from school and entertained them till their parents were done working. I have been able to build up both my experience and knowledge about working with children for this coming fall. I have also worked with ages of 2 months old to 12 years old so I am open to working with all age groups! I am CPR certified as well vaccinated but Im comfortable with wearing a mask if necessary.
