Recent reference

"One of Kelley’s greatest strengths is her communication. She consistently provided photos and updates throughout the day, which gave us great peace of mind. She also did an excellent job of asking questions when she wanted to be sure she was aligned with our preferences and values. She also offered helpful suggestions to us about everything from developmental milestones to enjoyable weekend activities based on her extensive, multi-decade experience caring for children. Kelley is exceptionally reliable and dependable. She came to each day prepared for a wide variety of situations and always prioritized our children’s safety and comfort. What truly set Kelley apart was the care she took to engage with our children as individuals. She paid close attention to their evolving interests and made a point to nurture their curiosity. Kelley brings warmth, professionalism, and deep dedication to her work, and we are grateful for the many years she spent caring for our children."

A little bit about me

(LOOKING FOR 2025 SUMMER) Hello! My name is Sahsha, and I’m from beautiful Cape Cod. I'm currently studying Social Work with a minor in Criminal Justice at the University of Massachusetts Boston. I absolutely love working with children and am passionate about creating a warm, supportive, and fun environment where they can learn, grow, and explore their creativity.

I have experience with kids of all ages and truly enjoy engaging in activities that spark curiosity and imagination. Right now, I’m working as a nanny for a wonderful family with three kids (ages 2, 5, and 6), and I’m looking for a nanny position back home on Cape Cod for the summer. I’m available any day, any time, and would love to find a full-time position, but I’m open to other arrangements if it sounds like a good fit for your family!

I can't wait to meet your little ones and help make your summer special!

A little bit about me

My name is Chelsea Barbara and I have over five years of paid experience working with children of all ages from infants to school-aged kids. I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving space where children feel free to grow, learn, and just be themselves.

In each role, I bring patience, care, and a genuine love for children. I’ve helped with everything from bottle feeding and diaper changes to school drop-offs, homework help, and fun activities like crafts, outdoor play, and reading time. I’m also happy to assist with light cleaning and meal prep when needed.

Families I’ve worked with often describe me as dependable, easy to talk to, and someone their children naturally connect with. I understand that every family is different, and I do my best to adjust and support in any way I can.

I’d truly love the opportunity to work with your family and offer care you can count on.
