A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Anna! I am 22 years old and currently working towards completing my master's degree at BU. I have worked with children for years, but this is my first time nannying. I am high energy, very active, and love kids. For this reason, I think I would prefer children ages two and up.

I am fully COVID vaccinated. I also have my lifeguard certification which includes CPR, first aid, and more. I also have my ServSafe certification for safe food handling.

I am open to a part or full time job, but I would like to know up front how much I’ll be working so I can schedule accordingly. I am moving to Boston this fall, and I would be willing to food prep and do household chores as well. Thank you, and I can’t wait to work with you!

A little bit about me

Hello Parents!
My name is Madison Toth and I work full-time at a pediatric hospital in the Boston area. I graduated with my bachelor's degree. I have an interest in encouraging developmental milestones for the children I watch. I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages. Keeping kids safe, creative, and cared for is my main goal when working with families. I enjoy being outside, reading books, and arts and crafts. I am looking for full-time work in the summer, preferably a live-out position however I will consider live-in, with the right fit of the family. I will return to school in September but would be happy to consider part-time hours if the option is there.

A little bit about me

Hello! my name is Soriah I am a San Marcos, Texas local with plenty of childcare experience. I previously was employed at Kids of Kingdom daycare where I cared for up to eight, 2-year-olds at a time as well as helping out in the baby room and 1-year-old class. I was most recently employed at Sunset AfterSchool Program, where I was the group leader for the 1st graders. I have built connections with kids of all ages in the program k-5. I love caring for children and making sure their needs are met. I am baby/adult CPR certified, and went through several childcare trainings for the child care position I held. Now I am looking for a change as my Boss retires closing the program and I plan to move to my dream city Boston to continue my career and become a live-in-nanny. I am a very active college student who loves art, music, running, soccer, and just being active. I am a trustworthy, fun, and reliable caregiver. Hope you consider me and have a great day!
