A little bit about me
Hello my name is Dan! I grew up going to summer camp every year and I love caring for children. I have often been described by kids I used to nanny as "a kid in an adult body". I love to be silly, dance, and be active outside. When it comes to caring for children safety is the number one goal for me which I accomplish with clear communication on rules and boundaries. My number two goal is fun! A little bit about me, I have a cat named Rumi (after the lead singer of K-Pop Demon Hunters), I'm in a run club, and I like to knit and crochet (I'm working on a sweater right now). I'm looking forward to connecting!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Camilla and I am currently a student at the University of Arizona majoring in marketing. I am originally from Tucson, Arizona, but I have family in Boston and visit every year, it is my favorite city. I will be living in East Boston this summer and am looking for a babysitting opportunity.
I have been babysitting since high school for families in my neighborhood, working with kids ranging from about six to thirteen years old. I am comfortable helping with meals, keeping things clean and organized, driving kids to activities, and staying in communication with parents. I also speak Spanish, which has been helpful working with bilingual families.
I love hiking, traveling, and reading, and I am known for making really good smoothies. I am responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, and I would love the opportunity to help out this summer!

A little bit about me
My name is Jaeden, and I have over five years of experience caring for children. I began by helping support moms in my community, caring for infants and toddlers on a volunteer basis. Over time, I realized how much I genuinely enjoy working with children and creating a safe, calm, and encouraging environment where they can thrive.
I am actively involved in my church’s children’s ministry, where I continue to care for and engage with kids regularly. Recently, I provided babysitting for a mother attending school on Mondays and Thursdays for 4–5 hours at a time (a 12 month). During that time, I planned fun and engaging activities such as interactive reading, playtime, and trips to the park. I also helped with light housekeeping to keep the space clean and comfortable. I have worked with ages from 10 months and older. I love to cook! I love animals!
I am passionate about supporting children’s growth and well-being, and I take pride in being dependable, nurturing, and attentive.

Hi! My name is Sabrina Tacchetti, and I am a recent graduate from Fairfield University, where I studied Marketing and Management. I have over five years of experience working with children through nannying and my role as a Resident Assistant, and caring for others has always been something that comes very naturally to me.

I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for children, whether that’s through crafts, outdoor activities, learning games, or just being present and attentive to their needs. I am someone who values consistency and trust, and I take pride in building strong relationships with both children and their families.
Outside of childcare, I enjoy reading, going for walks, and spending time at coffee shops. I also love being creative and finding new ways to make everyday fun and meaningful. I truly have a passion for working with children and hope to make a positive impact in their lives every day.
