A little bit about me
Hello, I’m Pilar! I grew up in Columbus, Ohio and I am currently a college student studying elementary education in Indianapolis, Indiana. I have nannied for many families every summer since I was in 8th grade, and I was a nanny/tutor for a family with two elementary/middle school aged children during the pandemic. As the oldest child in a family with three children, I was introduced to being a caregiver from a young age and have made connections through family, friends, and neighbors that have allowed me to care for all types of families with newborns to teens. I am starting my search for a live-in nanny opportunity during the summer of 2024 (early May - mid August). I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know you and your family! :)

A little bit about me
Hello, I'm Caylie! I just graduated from Boston University with my masters in August, and I have been babysitting regularly/nannying for over 6 years. I have experience with infants to teenagers, and would be happy to share a reference/contact from previous families I have worked for. I nannied for an incredible family in Boston this past year, however they moved, so I am looking for new opportunities!
I'm an organized, responsible, and reliable. I absolutely love being around kids! I am extremely creative and outgoing, qualities I have always enjoyed embracing as a nanny/babysitter. I was even a gymnastics coach for ages 2-10 for 3 years! I am ideally looking for a family I can work for on occasional days, evenings and date nights in Boston while I apply and interview for full time jobs in the city!

"I cannot recommend Caylie enough! She babysat my 2yo son 2-3x/week for about 7 months while we were in a temporary living situation. I truly never had to worry when my son was in Caylie’s care - she was communicative, transparent, prompt, and flexible with us. With my son she was loving, fun, caring, and still held limits with him (as you need to with toddlers!) She did a variety of activities with my active 2yo and was present and attentive when taking care of him. She also had some experience watching my 6 month old when I needed her to on occasion. I was sad to move because it meant we were losing Caylie, and she is truly a one of a kind babysitter!"

Thank you so much for considering me.
