A little bit about me
With 6 years of childcare/nannying experience, and a lifetime worth as a big sister, I can assure you l will be a helpful addition to you and your family. I pride myself in my time-management and organizational skills, but also making sure the children are having fun and enjoying themselves!
My main goal is to make sure we have colored with every crayon, played every game and read every book. I do not mind taking on multiple tasks like a little cleaning, laundry and of course making sure the kids are fed or if they have any school work. I have my own vehicle, therefore if the children need any rides or you need help with running errands, I am your helping hand.
I've always loved helping out my family and friends if they ever needed another set of hands with their children, and being the oldest in my family it came easy to me. I'm here for families who might need full-time help and I'm also open to parents who need a once in a while care-taker so they can take time to relax.

I love nothing more than witnessing the positive impact I can have on a child’s life. Be that through creation of fun memories or teaching of new skills, it brings me more joy than anything else I’ve experienced.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Nina, I recently graduated college and am living in South Boston. I began working with children as a gymnastics coach which versed me on safety along with creating fun, safe spaces for children to express themselves, grow, learn, and engage in new experiences. I then began nannying a family of three children (6,9, and 11) during summers, coordinating clubs, sports, and extracurricular programs. Over the COVID pandemic, I taught a homeschool program designed by the school district to a pod of three families, and three young girls, three days a week during their homeschool days. I am energetic, adventurous, and would love to find a family to welcome me as their nanny!

Hi! I am a psychology major who is becoming a veterinarian. I love working with kids which is why I pursued my RBT/ABA certification, to help children who are also on the autism spectrum. I love connecting and laughing with my kids, and when i'm not doing that, I am a bookworm and love trying new spots to eat in the city with my friends and family!

I am a college student at Emmanuel college studying neuroscience. I want to work in pediatrics when I’m older! I have a younger sister who has Down’s syndrome, and I’ve grown up babysitting her frequently! I am originally from Middleboro, MA, but live at school during the year. I worked with kindergarten children at the kindergarten in my hometown, where I was a student intern throughout high school. I have lots of babysitting experience and references!

A little bit about me
Hey there! I’m Joeli, a 21-year-old nanny with a passion for caring for little ones. Despite my age, I bring a wealth of experience to the table, having spent the past seven years immersed in childcare from ages infant-12years. Ive been immersed in childcare for 7 years, spanning from infants to preteens. It all started when I was 14, working at my family's daycare center, where I learned the intricacies of child development and discovered my calling. Transitioning into professional nanny work at 17, I've since dedicated 4 years to providing exceptional care, from preparing nutritious meals to fostering a nurturing environment where children can thrive. Beyond the basics, I strive to be a positive influence, imparting values like kindness and curiosity. Outside of work, I indulge in nature, photography, and reading, but my commitment to childcare excellence remains steadfast.
