A little bit about me

"In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun!"

Hello, I'm Grace! I am a creative, patient, energetic and compassionate caregiver with approximately 7 years of experience on and off caring for children from ages 6 mos.- teenagers. I graduated from Salem State University with a BFA in Theatre Performance, with a flair and passion for the arts and creativity; Hence the Mary Poppins intro! With me, your children will receive appropriate care while having fun.
I am happy to do additional tasks such as tidying up, laundry, and meal prep for the child etc.
I am vaccinated for COVID
I have a car and a clean driver record and I am comfortable transporting children.
I love going on outings to the library, music classes, playgroups and stroller walks!
While I love nannying/babysitting, my true passion lies with acting/furthering my acting career. I would love to work with someone who is flexible with me occasionally attending auditions, shows, evening rehearsals and film work.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Giselle — I’m 23 years old, I was born and raised just outside of Boston.

I’ve been working with children professionally since 2022. I started as a teacher assistant and am currently the lead teacher in an infant-toddler classroom with 9 children, where I’ve been for the past 18 months. Outside of work, I’ve also babysat for family, family friends, and a few of the children I care for in my classroom.

As a mom to a 2-year old and the oldest of four siblings (the youngest being 8), I’ve always been surrounded by kids. I’ve also taken several childcare and child development courses, and I’m certified in both CPR and First Aid — something I take a lot of pride in. Although I’m currently in college pursuing a different career path, childcare has been something I’ve genuinely loved and poured my heart into over the past few years!
