A little bit about me

Hi! I'm currently a senior at St. Lawrence University pursing a degree in Economics and Business. I have worked with children for most of my life, including working at summer camps as well as school programs to be a teacher aid for pre-k through 5th grade. I have 10 little cousins and have also enjoyed keeping them company and being around them!! Babysitting and nannying are my favorite jobs, because I can truly do what I love!

A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Anna! I am 22 years old and currently working towards completing my master's degree at BU. I have worked with children for years, but this is my first time nannying. I am high energy, very active, and love kids. For this reason, I think I would prefer children ages two and up.

I am fully COVID vaccinated. I also have my lifeguard certification which includes CPR, first aid, and more. I also have my ServSafe certification for safe food handling.

I am open to a part or full time job, but I would like to know up front how much I’ll be working so I can schedule accordingly. I am moving to Boston this fall, and I would be willing to food prep and do household chores as well. Thank you, and I can’t wait to work with you!
