A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Elyse and I am from upstate New York. I graduated with my Bachelors degree from Babson College with a concentration in education technology and entrepreneurship. Throughout high school and college, both part time and full time, I worked with children ages 3 months through 5 years old. Most of my experience and passion lies with infants and younger toddlers. I am an aspiring entrepreneur, and am looking for a role as a full time nanny with an amazing family as I pursue my dream of starting a business outside of working hours. I am a very loyal and adaptable individual who tends to put my heart and soul into caring for families and their needs. I am passionate about education and early childhood development, and would love the opportunity to learn and grow with a kind family. Looking forward to meeting you!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is O'Meara, and I’m elated about the possibility of spending the summer helping your family. I recently graduated from University and am taking some time off as I’m planning to start law school next year.

As one of four sisters, I grew up in a lively, busy home, often acting as the built-in babysitter—which means I’m no stranger to keeping kids entertained, engaged, and safe! Whether it’s arts and crafts, playing outside, or coming up with fun activities, I love creating a warm and playful environment for kids to learn and grow. I have been working with kids and babysitting since I was a teenager so understand no two kids are the same.

Outside of childcare, my hobbies include tennis, basketball, cooking, and music—so I’m always happy to incorporate active play, creative projects, or fun outings into the day.

A little bit about me

I’m a highly organized and caring professional with a strong background in leadership, hospitality, and creating structured, nurturing environments. While my career has been centered around managing teams and operations, I’ve always had a natural ability to connect with people—especially children—through patience, communication, and attentiveness. I thrive in roles that require multitasking, problem-solving, and adaptability, all of which translate seamlessly into childcare. Beyond my professional experience, I genuinely enjoy fostering a positive and engaging space where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing activities, or preparing nutritious meals, I bring a thoughtful and responsible approach to every aspect of caregiving.
