A little bit about me

Hello Families! My name is Rashida and I am a native Bostonian. I am a licensed and experienced Child Care Professional. I have over 20 years of teaching experience and child care experience and I love working with children! I have my Associate's degree in Early Childhood Education and I am infant, toddler, preschool lead teacher qualified and director qualified.

I love working with children because I enjoy helping them learn, discover and grow. Seeing and helping infants and toddlers reach new milestones and watching and giving preschoolers and early learners tools to discover the world around them is a joy and is exciting to see.

For the past 2 years I have also been teaching Early Childhood trainings and enrichment classes to Educators. The program is in partnership with statewide EEC programs.

I am available to provide child care in Boston and in the Greater Boston area. I look forward to meeting and speaking with you!

A little bit about me

I will be graduating from the University of Vermont in May of 2019 and plan on moving to the greater Boston area after graduation. I love working with children and have been babysitting since I was 14 years old with my first full-time nanny job in early 2018. I am patient, caring, friendly, and responsible. I love arts and crafts and I am comfortable driving and making meals. Ideally, I'd be caring for 1-3 children, but am also comfortable caring for more if the right opportunity presents itself. I will be available full-time and am currently available to drive to Boston on most weekends if you'd like to meet me in person, or have a Skype if that's more convenient.

A little bit about me

My name is Elise and I am a 23-year-old professional nanny. I have years and years of experience taking care of children (and animals) of all ages. I used to be a theater camp counselor during the summer and I coach volleyball as well.

I am originally from Boston, but have spent the last few years travelling around. I am now headed back to Boston and will be there for years to come.

I am fun, caring, and watchful. I know how important development and learning is for younger children and am a very creative nanny. I love the outdoors, reading, art, and music. I am also an athlete, and I graduated at the top of my class and was a great student. I also have twins experience!

Some of my favorite activities to do with the children I take care of are going to parks, trips to museums, reading, sensory play, dancing, singing, listening to and playing music, and many more. I make it a point to get the children in my care out of the house for age appropriate activities, every single day (except for newborns of course)

I have attended National Nanny Training day, have received my Credentialed Nanny certification from the International Nanny Association, and will be undergoing training to become a CPST (Child Passenger Safety Technician). I also have college coursework in early childhood education.

I am first aid and CPR certified for infants/toddlers/children/adults. I also have my own safe vehicle (2014 Nissan Rogue) and have experience driving children.

Thanks!

A little bit about me

Hello!

My name is Ellyse Zenner and I am 22 years old. I was born and raised in Wisconsin but am currently living in Utah.

In the last five years I have completed an Associates degree and am working towards a Bachelors degree currently. The last two school years I have worked in an Elementary Special Education classroom and absolutely loved it. The most rewarding aspect of teaching is meeting the students where they are at and watching them progress further.

Art is my biggest passion in life, and I love to practice my art-based hobbies when I can find the time. I love to sketch, oil and acrylic paint, write, read, and build legos. I am the biggest Formula 1 fan and love to watch every race. I also love to bake and explore recipes on the weekends.

I would love to become a nanny because teaching and working with kids have always been a big part of my life, and I believe are my calling.
