I am a MA student at Brandeis University looking for work as a live-in nanny for the fall and spring semester of 2026-27 (August 2026-May 2027). I'm 23, I'm from Virginia, and I've been babysitting for multiple children and various families since I was 15. I love kids and miss the families I would routinely babysit at home, so I'm eager for a new opportunity!
