A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Haley and I am 24 years old. I currently live in Boston, and I grew up in Plymouth, MA. I am currently working as a nanny in Wellesley for an amazing family and I have been with them for a little over a year now. I graduated from Franklin Pierce University in May 2021 with a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education. I have been working with children for 8 years, working with infants to 8th grade. I love helping children learn and grow! I love to come up with a fun and educational craft and go outside to play and explore when the weather is warm! Unfortunately I have the leave the family I am currently with since the girls will be starting school full time in September. I am hoping to find another amazing family to nanny for long term and feel like I am apart of their family!

A little bit about me
I’m a caring and dependable 25-year-old mother to a bright and active three-year-old girl, and I’m currently pursuing my degree in radiology. I’m seeking a part-time nanny position focused on toddlers, where I can bring both my personal experience as a mom and my passion for child development into a supportive and engaging environment.
I understand the unique needs of toddlers—their need for consistency, patience, and play-based learning—and I enjoy creating fun, safe routines that help little ones thrive. From managing naps and mealtime to guiding emotional development and language skills, I’m confident in my ability to care for toddlers with love and professionalism. I also understand how valuable it is for parents to have someone they can trust, and I strive to offer that peace of mind.

"Alex watched my son during the summer of 2020 while my husband and I were at work. Every day he would organize activities for him that were above and beyond what we expected of him. He was organized, punctual, structured, and intelligent. He had such an impact on my son that he still talks about him and the activities they did together. Alex followed the rules and guidelines of our home while making each day educational and fun for the whole summer. If I needed care again, Alex would be the first person I would want to hire."

Hi ! My name is Selina I’m 27 and I’m French.
I always took care of kids in my family so it was obvious for me to plan my career around them. I started working at kids camps during vacations at 17 while I was studying. And during my college years I worked part time for 6 years in a middle school. I’m really passionate about new cultures and languages so I decided to live the experience au pair in 2023. Thanks to that experience I have a new family here in the US. I’m fluent in English and Spanish and I would love to be a teacher someday.
I took dance classes since I was 4, I love music and reading as well.

"Selina has nannied for my children for two years, primarily caring for my toddler daughter, from ages 1-3. Selina is the best caregiver my children (ages 13, 11, and 3) have ever had. She has lived with our family for two years and worked both during the day while I was at work, and during the evening (including driving to kids activities), and sometimes overnight. Selina "checks all the boxes" - she is always punctual, extremely responsible and safety conscious, and communicates thoroughly and consistently both with me and with the children. She is emotionally mature: in a house full of pre-teens, she let their wild mood swings roll off her back, and never became upset or riled up. She is extremely respectful: she followed my lead with respect to discipline strategies and parenting decisions. She is flexible: she attempted to accommodate schedule changes and requests, and other plan changes.
I give Selina my very highest recommendation. There is no better caregiver for your family."

A little bit about me
Hi, I'm Ellie! I've loved kids for as long as I can remember — I started babysitting and nannying at 12 and have never really stopped, with childcare experience that spans daycare work, supporting youth in care settings, and, of course, plenty of hands-on babysitting along the way. I studied Child, Adult and Family Services at Iowa State University, so I combine real knowledge of early childhood development with genuine hands-on experience. Growing up with 60 first cousins (yes, really) and adoring my own niece, I've spent my whole life around kids of all ages — it's just part of who I am. I'm responsible, outgoing, and dedicated, and families can count on me to show up, stay engaged, and make every day feel safe and fun. I also love animals, so pets are always a welcome bonus! I'd love the chance to bring my experience, patience, and enthusiasm to your family.

"Ellie is a natural when it comes to interacting with kids of all ages. She specifically helped me with babysitting my daughter as young as 3 months old until her current age of 18 months. Ellie is nurturing by nature and is a very responsible, trustworthy person. She is intentional about the time she spends with my daughter, whether it is entertaining her with toys or reading books. She is capable of feeding her (both as an infant and as a toddler) and is able to get her down for naps/bedtime. She also takes great care of the house when we are gone so we come home to a cleaned up environments. Any family would be blessed to have Ellie as a nanny!"
