A little bit about me
My name is Achot Aroman. I’m from Syracuse NY and graduated from high school in 2021 with a 3.7 GPA so I am fully equipped to tutor children as I’ve always done it for my two younger siblings. I am now a full time student at UMass Boston as a Biology Major currently taking this semester off (Fall 2023) and am looking for full time position as a babysitter/nanny. I occasionally work as a paid nanny but mainly for family and am now branching out. I am currently working towards receiving cpr training/certification and would be available all weekdays and occasionally weekends during the day. I love working with children and engaging in fun activities with them as well. There’s no such thing as a child who is too difficult! Please don’t let my lack of professional experience discourage you from hiring me, I’m simply a college student trying to make her way through the world!

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Eliza and I am a 24 year old living in Allston. I love children and am looking to get out of the restaurant job that I currently work. I do not have much experience with nannying but I do believe that a lot of the skills that I have learned in restaurants can translate to child care. I am outgoing, creative, empathetic, and love having fun! My hobbies include cooking, drawing, being active, and exploring. Since losing my own mother last year I have really felt the urge to care take and would love to nanny some awesome kids. I have a very open available that includes early mornings and late nights if needed. Thanks!
