A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Amaya, and I am a dedicated college student who is passionate about working with children and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow. I have experience working with kids through after-school programs, where I have helped children with activities, learning, and building confidence. I am patient, responsible, creative, and enjoy finding ways to make each child feel valued and cared for. As a student, I understand the importance of balance, organization, and providing dependable support for families. I love creating meaningful connections with children and being someone parents can trust to care for their little ones with kindness, attention, and respect.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Camilla and I am currently a student at the University of Arizona majoring in marketing. I am originally from Tucson, Arizona, but I have family in Boston and visit every year, it is my favorite city. I will be living in East Boston this summer and am looking for a babysitting opportunity.
I have been babysitting since high school for families in my neighborhood, working with kids ranging from about six to thirteen years old. I am comfortable helping with meals, keeping things clean and organized, driving kids to activities, and staying in communication with parents. I also speak Spanish, which has been helpful working with bilingual families.
I love hiking, traveling, and reading, and I am known for making really good smoothies. I am responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, and I would love the opportunity to help out this summer!

A little bit about me
I have a passion for working with children during their early childhood years. Early childhood development fascinates me and results in a rewarding experience to witness growth in all areas social/ emotional, and physical. I have experience in the Reggio philosophy that children learn through play and curiosity combined with structure.
On a personal level, I am married with 4 grown kids ( 19-24 ) in various stages of college/ working. I have taken time away to help my husband run his business but I am ready to get back to doing what I love. My hobbies are cooking, knitting, boating and hiking with our dog Louie at our place in NH.
