A little bit about me
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
Hello families! My name is Savannah and I am looking for a full-time, long-term position. I have lifelong experience of caring for young kids as I am an older sister to two boys! While my grandma took us in, they were my responsibility to take care of as I am 8+ years older than them. Professionally, I have nannied for 1 family consisting of three young children and have experience in cooking experience (Cowboy Butter Steak Bites is my most requested dish currently!) and can bake as well if needed. I am well-versed in working many roles in the household! While kids are at school, I can "reset" the house and lightly clean high traffic areas, do laundry (wash, fold and iron if needed and put away/hang up), I can run errands like grocery shop, pick up dry cleaning, and handle vendor tasks as well if needed for house or vehicle maintenance.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Brigid Doyle, I’m currently 23 years old and living in New Hampshire. I’m looking to work as a live in nanny, in the Boston area. I have my bachelors degree in early childhood education and a minor in sociology, working with young children is my specialty.

I have a website all about me and my work with children if you are interested, https://brigiddoyle.godaddysites.com/about-me.

"Brigid is kind, engaged, and loves children. She also has the knowledge, with her degree, in how to advance my young children’s education. She was able to create an agenda for my 4 year old to work on different subjects weekly, and choose and cultivate different activities throughout that week to reinforce and expand on their learning. She was gentle but firm with structure and disciple which my boys really thrived under. She was able to manage my growing family, to a total of 5 children, and create a lasting relationship with all of them despite their vast differences. Brigid comes highly recommended and we cherish our time and memories with her."

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.
