A little bit about me
I’ve been working with severe autism for 9 years and I truly love what I do. I focus on bringing the child into the community—taking them to the mall, cinema, and grocery store—always treating them with the utmost care, patience, and love to help them socialize comfortably!

Hi! My name is Bronwyn and i’m a Junior at Wellesley High School. I have a 4 year old sister who I look after consistently and have also looked after kids aged 7-11 through family friends. I am looking for a weekend babysitting job but I am also flexible and could do it during the week if I don’t have too much school work. I do not have my full license yet, but I should have it by the start-middle of next school year.

A little bit about me
Hi, I'm Tess! I'm a junior at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. I'm originally from Manhattan so I've been used to faced paced environments my whole life. For all long as I can remember I've always been drawn to babysitting or working in childcare. I also adore dogs and have many years of dog walking/dog sitting experience. Between years of babysitting and being a camp consoler, I have experience working with kids of all age groups. When I was formerly a summer camp counselor, I was assigned to a small group of toddler campers with special needs, and I was to lead this group independently at my age of 15. This amazing group of campers inspired me to keep working with kids, and since then I've continued babysitting throughout the years. I'm extremely organized, hard working, and pay close attention to detail. Also, one thing I've never been told is that someone's bored around me - I have high energy and keep things fun while prioritizing safety.

A little bit about me
Hi, I’m Ryann,
I have experience as a nanny and have worked with several childcare programs, including local summer camps and the Girl Scouts. I’m currently a part-time student (two credits away from BA) looking for full-time nanny work and is available to start ASAP.
I love dogs (and really all animals!), going on walks, and doing arts and crafts. I have the most experience with children ages 3+, but I’m flexible and comfortable with a range of ages.
When working with kids, I focus on three key things:
Kindness first – I aim to build a respectful, safe, and positive relationship with both children and parents so we can focus on what matters most: having fun.
Respect for boundaries – Every child has their own comfort level. I’m here to listen and support their needs, while always prioritizing safety and keeping parents informed.
Kid-led fun – I love engaging kids in activities they enjoy and keeping things active, creative, and fun—not just sitting around the house.

Hi, my name's Karissa, and I would love to be your kids' nanny! I have over 8 years of experience working with kids professionally (I can provide references), I am trained in CPR and first-aid, and I have my own transportation. I'm trying to go back to school to be a teacher, and having a job working with kids in the meantime would be such a blessing. I enjoy coloring and playing games with kids - anything to keep them happy and occupied. I can cook, and I specialize in healthy, vegetable-forward meals, but I can also make some mean chicken nuggets and mac and cheese if that's more your style! I am happy to help with travel and errands, and I'm free most, if not all of the day! I am very comfortable working late nights as well as early mornings, and I'm very flexible and willing to work out a schedule that works for you and your family! Overall, I am a reliable, hard-working, communicative person who wants parents to be comfortable and know their kids are safe!
