A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Kayrin (she/her) and I am a recent graduate from Lesley University. With my degree in Expressive Arts Therapy and multiple internship/work experiences working with youth, I believe I could be the perfect fit for your family! My work experience lies in the school system, where I provided direct social-emotional and behavioral support to youth ages 5-16. While in these roles, I fostered self-awareness, self-control, and positive peer relationships, along with providing students with healthy coping mechanisms. Additionally, I gained experience with crisis scenarios while in these roles, which taught me to keep a level head and how to safely de-escalate situations. I also am a former tutor, meaning I am able to provide academic support to promote your child’s learning. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

A little bit about me
I am a Somerville-based recent college grad, and just marked my first year as a professional nanny. After studying photography and art history at Harvard College and attaining a BA in Visual and Environmental Studies, I began homeschooling a kindergartener during the early months of the pandemic and immediately felt drawn to a career in early childhood education. I've since been motivated by a desire to support families in building safe, nurturing, yet beautiful and inspiring childhoods. I strive to bring patience, empathy, and a consent-driven approach to my relationships with children, with a style of care that is always responsive to the needs and interests of the individual child. I'm especially interested in Montessori philosophy, and am currently planning for training and accreditation. Outside of work, I spend time caring for two birds, a cat, and a dog; I love to explore museums, make playlists, and cook vegan food.

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Somerville, MA
Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your children’s needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.
Somerville Nanny Interviews
Once you start connecting with prospective nannies, the next step is a nanny interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some nanny interview questions to consider asking:
- Do you have experience being a nanny?
- How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
- What sort of household tasks are you open to doing?
- Are you open to a live in arrangement in Somerville? Do you have experience being a live in nanny?
- Are you open to being a nanny in a nanny share?
- Do you have any references?
- Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Somerville?
- Do you have a driver’s license in MA? Do you own a car?
- What salary are you seeking? Are you open to being paid through direct-deposit, pay stubs?
- What are your expectations around over-time pay and vacation time?
During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references, and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a prospective nanny, it’s essential to make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your nanny. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around nanny responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming!

Daycare vs. Hiring a Nanny
Choosing between putting your child in daycare and hiring a nanny can be a tough decision. While nannies are often more expensive, they provide individualized attention and flexibility. Daycares, on the other hand, prioritize socialization. Our Nanny vs Daycare guide can help you determine what's best for your family.
