A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Tyrin, and I have over 5 years of experience working with children in preschools, daycares, after-school programs, and one-on-one settings. I am currently studying Early Childhood Education and am passionate about helping children learn, grow, and feel supported.

Throughout my career, I have worked with children of various ages and developmental needs, including children on the autism spectrum. I also worked as a preschool teacher in a shelter serving women, teens, and their children, where I learned the importance of patience, flexibility, and creating a safe and nurturing environment for every child.

I enjoy planning fun activities, supporting learning through play, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and helping children build confidence and independence. Families describe me as reliable, caring, responsible, and easy to communicate with. My goal is always to provide a safe, engaging, and positive experience while giving parents peace of mind.

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

Hello. :) familia
My name is Nikki Catriona Garzon Lopez. I am 34years old. I am from Mexico and I've been a nanny in Boston for the past 4 years. I've been with babies as young as 5 mo up to 7 yo. I am a responsible, punctual, fun, shared person. I like to do activities outdoors when the weather allows it, and at home like arts & crafts, dance and moves, cook with them, etc. I also have a health coach certification that is helpful when kids start eating solids.
I like to teach them to be independent and responsible with their activities. I'm very familiar to the technique baby led weaning. This makes it easier to eat healthy food in their daily life and makes is easier for the baby and the parents to continue on this path.
I believe in a discipline based on patience and respect, understanding the child by being on the same level allows them to express themselves and understand what their needs are.
