A little bit about me
I am a sophomore at Boston University studying Political Science with a High School Diploma, looking for part time or occasional babysitting opportunities. All of my working experience has been with children, but in many different settings. I have worked at a summer camp the past 4 summers, mainly with kids kindergarten-age, and I worked at an elementary school after-school program while I was in high school. I am very artsy- I love music and arts and crafts; I am also a very dedicated student and can help with all sorts of homework.

A little bit about me
My name is Nicole and working with children has been a passion of mine since I can remember. I have worked privately with families and also in a preschool and daycare center for the better part of the last 9 years. At the daycare I worked with infants and toddlers full time, and it was absolutely my favorite thing to do.
I am CPR and first aid certified and I am working towards my bachelors in early childhood education.
Once I had my daughters I decided to take some time off and just focus on them. After realizing how hectic life can get, I want to work one on one with a family to make sure that other parents have a little help while juggling it all!
I look forward to chatting with you!

A little bit about me
Hi my name is Shadae, I have been a nanny for around 3+ years for children all ages under 5. I've had experience working with children in homes. I like to bring children outside play time outside or inside fun learning activities. I've had experience with sensory time, music. I have a real passion for working with children, and watching them grow and develop.
I am being certified for CPR and first aid training. I am more than willing to prepare meals, and do light housekeeping. I am also fairly comfortable with pets in the home.
I am completely vaccinated for Covid and others. If you wish for me to get a test before starting, that arrangement can be made. Thank you for your consideration.

A little bit about me
I am a senior at Snowden International school with a 3.7 GPA. My whole life I have been taking care of children taking the fact that I am the oldest of 7 kids, all very different because of the age gaps: two 1 y/o, two 7 y/o, one 4 y/o who has special needs and one 14 y/o, as you can tell I have experience with all ages. I was born in Dominican Republic and was brought to Boston at 10 therefore I speak both Spanish and English very fluently. As I get older I spire to go to law school and become a lawyer.

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Keylani Woodley, I'm 24 years old, a freshman in college at South Carolina state university. I have great experience in babysitting with a little a 3-month-old baby. during my years in high school, I was a CNA in-training, so I learn about babies and also was CPR and First Aid certified. I'm willing to help with children as much as I can, as parents get back to work before I go back to school (if I ever go back to school). I know it hard during these times, and I'm willing to get co-vid testing and provide you with results if you think of considering me. Thank you.
