A little bit about me

I’m Sara! I have a degree in psychology and two and a half years of nanny experience with kids aged 8 months - 5 years. I’ve also worked as a youth and family counselor and a camp counselor with ages 5-18. Outside of nannying I am an avid gardener and enjoy spending most of my time outdoors or with my family. I prefer to do lots of activities with my nanny kids, encouraging play and including them in day to day activities like cooking.

Hi! My name is Chloe. I’m currently a senior at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and will be graduating this May. I’m moving to Boston at the end of May to attend New England Law | Boston, and I’m looking for a summer nanny position.
