A little bit about me

Hello! I am a nanny with seven+ years of experience working with children between the ages of 9 months and 10 years. My experience includes providing care as a swim lesson instructor, a nanny, camp and after-school counselor, and a preschool teacher. I have an associates degree in ECE from NCC and my bachelors degree in ECE from Fitchburg State University. I currently work as a kindergarten teacher. I love messy, child-led play and being outdoors. I am looking to potentially start a new full-time position this year in late summer/early fall.

A little bit about me

My name's Amanda Finatti and I'm very mature and ready to take care of kids!

Currently, I'm taking care of 7 kids in total and they're all occasional jobs. Now I am actively looking for a more steady position. I have experience with all ages. My duties are feeding them, changing their diapers, playing with them, etc. They learn a lot of things from me, like Spanish. My goal is to always make sure children are having fun while learning.

What I can actually say is that I'm a reliable person. I'm definitely a good role model for your kids.

Besides, I'm a musician. More precisely, a bassist. Also, I speak a lot of different languages, like Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French.

Patient, sweet, nice, calm and altruistic are words that come to mind to describe myself. I care about others and want them to succeed. Improving my personal traits is a part of my everyday routine. Being compassionate towards others makes me motivated to keep on helping them even more!

A little bit about me

My name is Rebecca and I was born in VT, though I have spent the past decade in IL and NM. I've worked PT and on-call since 2008, and from 2012 through 2019 I worked as a FT House Manager for a family of six. I have a Psych degree and took a variety of child development classes.

When it comes to childcare, I believe strongly in love, support, communication, and establishing boundaries. Children often learn best through play, and as a result I encourage developmentally appropriate activities at all ages and enjoy creatively incorporating them into the routine in a way that makes them fun. Consistency is key and I am comfortable upholding household rules and being firm when necessary. I welcome spending time outside during all seasons, love planning fun activities, and do my best to encourage curiosity and lots of reading while attempting to capitalize on teachable moments as they arise (more often than not!).
