A little bit about me
I'm a 28 year old, fully vaccinated, environmental engineering masters student at UC Berkeley. I'm looking for a part time nanny position in Boston for the summer to recharge before going back to school.
I find childcare very fulfilling and fun.
My experience has included teaching english, science and math, as well as youth mentorship through various religious institutions. I worked 4 years as an engineer after undergrad and am excited to get to babysit for a while!
I always try to create a patiently disciplined but silly and fun environment. I would love to find a position in which I can foster a creative learning environment and do intellectually enriching activities. We can explore various classical and modern arts, music and literature and I can supplement online schooling and aid children with coursework.
I will be available in Boston from May-mid August, Monday- Friday on a part time basis, special weekend events and additional weekday hours will be negotiable.

A little bit about me
My native languages are English and French, and I used to be fluent in Spanish although it has been a while since I have spoken it, so I don’t think I am quite fluent anymore. I can cook, clean, help the kids with homework, do activities with them, put them to bed, et cetera. My rates depend on how many kids I am caring for and if there are any additional household responsibilities.
I look forward to hearing from you!

How to Hire a Short-Term Nanny in Oakland, CA
Nanny Lane helps you find a short-term nanny in Oakland, CA for a temporary need, from a few weeks to a few months.
We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.
What Is a Short-Term Nanny?
A short-term nanny works for a set period rather than as an ongoing hire. Families look for short-term help when a parent is on leave, when they are between nannies, for a new baby, or while they are relocating or traveling. The end date is agreed at the start.
Common Responsibilities of Short-Term Nannies in Oakland, CA
A short-term nanny takes on the same duties as any nanny, including caring for children, preparing meals, and keeping to routines, and often starts quickly. Because the role is temporary, they need a clear handover covering schedules, allergies, and house rules on day one.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Be upfront about the start date, the end date, and the chance of an extension. Fixed-term roles still benefit from clear pay terms, and a written agreement helps both sides. Short-term nannies who can start quickly are in demand, so message early.
Short-Term Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Are you available for our dates, and could you extend if we need it?
- How quickly could you start?
- Have you worked short-term or fill-in roles before?
- How would you get to know our routines quickly?
- Are you trained in First Aid or CPR?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
