More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were through my professional background as a nurse and caregiver, where I developed strong skills in safety, hygiene, and attentive care. I have experience supporting daily routines such as feeding, bathing, supervising playtime, and ensuring a safe and nurturing environment. My healthcare training allows me to recognize children’s needs quickly, respond calmly in different situations, and provide compassionate, reliable care while supporting their development and well-being.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy engaging children in creative, educational, and fun activities such as reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and interactive games. I love supporting their development through learning-based play while creating a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is building trust and a genuine connection with the children, so they feel safe, loved, and understood.
It’s about patience and attentiveness—really noticing what each child needs.
Creating a routine that balances fun, learning, and care helps children feel secure and thrive.
Encouraging independence while guiding them gently fosters confidence and resilience.
Ultimately, being a nanny is about nurturing their growth with kindness, consistency, and heart.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience caring for children with special needs, providing patient, attentive, and individualized support based on each child’s unique abilities and challenges. With my background in healthcare, I am comfortable assisting with daily routines, monitoring behavior and well-being, and creating a safe and structured environment. I focus on encouraging independence, supporting emotional regulation, and using positive reinforcement to help children feel confident and secure. I also communicate closely with parents to ensure consistency in care and meet each child’s specific needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments as a nanny was when I cared for a child who was very shy and had difficulty expressing their feelings. In the beginning, he would barely speak and often stayed close to him comfort zone. Over time, through patience, play, and building trust, I saw a beautiful transformation.

One day, while we were playing together, the child looked at me and said, “I feel safe with you.” That moment touched my heart deeply. It reminded me that being a nanny is not just about supervision, but about creating a space where a child feels loved, understood, and secure.

Seeing that growth and knowing I made a positive difference in their emotional world is something I will always carry with me.

Kimberly M. - Seeking Work in Natick

Full-Time Nanny Available in Natick, MA: Kimberly M.

I am currently a 4th grade teacher looking to take the next year or two off to be a nanny. I recently had a baby and would love more flexibility, so I can spend more time with my son who is currently 4 months old. I have tons of baby sitting experience and can work with ages 1-10.

A plus would be if I could bring my baby with me sometimes and that our kids could enjoy one another at different outings, such as farm visits, library, playground etc. I love crafting, building with legos, playing outside, and doing hands on play. As an educator I could also incorporate sensory play and fun learning activities. I have several reference as I was a nanny for families and continue to hangout with their grown up kids when they’re around.

I know bringing my baby might not sound ideal, but I love working and playing with all kids. I am just lucky to have my own now too. I have always loved helping to foster learning through play and every job I’ve ever had is related to working with kids.

My name is Karen and I am located in Natick. I have 10 years of experience caring for newborns up to elementary school aged children. I had long term employment with my past nanny positions. The last family I worked for has 2 children. I cared for the oldest from the ages of 6mos to 6 years, and the younger sibling from birth to 3 years. The family prior to that had two children. I cared for the older child from 8 weeks to 3.5 years and the younger sibling from birth to 1 year. I have a lot of infant experience.
My role with both families was to help keep the children healthy, happy, learning, playing and reaching milestones. This included, preparing healthy meals for the kids, working towards milestones, arts and crafts, going to the playground, aquarium, zoos, kids classes, swimming in the summer, sledding in the winter and everything in between. My role also included scheduling and driving the kids to various activities.
I am ready for my next adventure.
