Nanny Kalyani

9 years experience

A little bit about me

I'm Kalyani, an experienced nanny from here on the Cape! For over three years, I hosted a successful nanny share at my previous home in Providence, RI also babysitting for many families throughout the state. Recently, I moved home to complete my Early Childhood Education degree and Child Development Associate Credential. Since graduating, I've eagerly returned to full-time nannying. I am committed to providing top quality care coming prepared to teach, be active, involved, and engaged with the children of whom I have the pleasure of caring for! My caregiving and curriculum style is geared toward fostering independence and confidence among children, helping them develop a variety of skillsets and creative abilities. I go above and beyond to meet each child where they are by providing memorable experiences that cater to each families’ individual needs, personalities, and evolving preferences to learn as their child grows.
I’d love to be of service! Thank you so much for your time!✨

"We are professional musicians who travel to different cities for work and often need to find temporary childcare, which can be very difficult. Kalyani cared for our children ages 4 and 6 several times when we were traveling and she is the best childcare provider we have ever found for out-of-town care. She had immense knowledge of early childhood practices, and brought activities, a sense of fun, and a great deal of patience and kindness, both for us and for our children. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a childcare provider!"

Nanny Guinevere

10+ years experience

A little bit about me

I am an infant-toddler nanny with more than 25 years of childcare experience. Over the years, I have learned that caring for children involves far more than supervision. My approach focuses on creating a nurturing, emotionally supportive environment where children thrive.

I value consistent routines, healthy sleep habits, emotional regulation and plenty of fun. I strive to provide calm, dependable care while communication with parents, giving peace of mind while their child is in my care.

I am seeking a part-time position 1–3 days a week plus my current care for a baby one day a week. I am CPR & First Aid certified, I enjoy reading, singing, arts & crafts, & outdoor play.

I respect each family’s parenting style working closely to support child’s growth & development.

As a mature “granny nanny,” I bring patience, wisdom, & reliability. I value building long-term relationships with families & providing consistent, loving care.

I look forward to connecting with you!

"We cannot recommend Guinevere highly enough! She spent the past five months caring for our 8 month old daughter after we had to pivot quickly from home daycare due to repeat illnesses. Guin came in with confidence, patience and flexibility with our situation. Guin is incredibly warm, knowledgeable and genuinely loves working with children. What we appreciated most was how she always brought creative arts and crafts projects utilizing her background as an art teacher for our daughter to explore. Guin kept our daughter busy throughout the day while maintaining a predictable routine. Guin is reliable, communicative and deeply trustworthy. She gave us complete peace of mind knowing our daughter was in safe hands. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her."
