A little bit about me
Hi! I am Ali and I look forward to being a part of your family! I am studying Anthropology and Psychology with a concentration on children’s mental health and development. I am a certified Emergency Medical Technician with Basic Life Support Training (includes CPR and First Aid). I love to spend time outside, make art, play music, travel to new places and read. I have my own car and a clean driving record. I also am willing to travel with families and have a passport at the ready! I am high energy, understand developmental milestones, and love to add joy and fun to everyone’s day. I am happy to cook and love to bake regularly. Laundry, light housekeeping, and running errands are also tasks I could help with. I have worked with special needs children, traveled around the world working with kids, can speak Polish, Spanish, and Basic American Sign Language. I have worked with over 20 families and 50 children over the past 3+ years. I can’t wait to talk with you and help you out!

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Eliza and I am a 24 year old living in Allston. I love children and am looking to get out of the restaurant job that I currently work. I do not have much experience with nannying but I do believe that a lot of the skills that I have learned in restaurants can translate to child care. I am outgoing, creative, empathetic, and love having fun! My hobbies include cooking, drawing, being active, and exploring. Since losing my own mother last year I have really felt the urge to care take and would love to nanny some awesome kids. I have a very open available that includes early mornings and late nights if needed. Thanks!

A little bit about me
Hi there! I'm so excited to connect with your family. I've had the joy of caring for kids across every stage from tiny infants to curious toddlers to energetic school-agers, and I love meeting little ones exactly where they are.
My style is a mix of playful and gentle: think building blanket forts and getting silly with dance parties one minute, then quiet cuddle time with a favorite book the next. I believe kids thrive when they feel safe, seen, and free to be themselves, and I try to bring warmth and patience to every part of the day, from mealtime to meltdowns to bedtime routines.
I take the trust you place in me seriously, and I genuinely love this work! There's nothing better than being part of a child's everyday moments and watching them grow. I'd love the chance to get to know your family!
