A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Robin and I am 24 years old. I am moving to Boston in August! I am a very outdoorsy, and athletic person. I am currently working on getting my bachelors of social work online. I have a passion for taking care of children and giving them a voice.

I have worked in many different environments, including a home, hospital, clinic and care facility. I have worked with all ages, starting from newborn to the elderly.

I come from a big family, so I grew up watching and taking care of my younger siblings and cousins. I understand the importance of routines for a child and allowing them the space to grow. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and adapting to each child's needs. I am willing to help with household tasks as well.

If I sound like I could be the right fit for your family, I look forward to talking to you!

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m an elementary school teacher relocating back to the Boston area this summer and looking for a nanny position during my school break (and potentially full time depending on the teaching jobs available for me). Before & during my teaching career, I have spent several years working with babies and young children, which is where my heart and expertise really lie outside the classroom. I’m patient, dependable, and love creating a nurturing, safe environment where children feel supported and cared for. I’m especially comfortable with babies and routines like feeding, naps, and developmental play. I value open communication with families and would love to be a reliable, caring presence for your child this summer.

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Elif Yildirim. I am a teacher with extensive teaching experience with students of diverse backgrounds.
I gained my relevant nanny experience while working for a family with an 8-month-old toddler in New Haven Connecticut. Besides that, I worked as an Infant/Toddler teacher at a university daycare center in Massachusetts. I am a Massachusetts-certified Infant/Toddler teacher and love working with toddlers.
Throughout my teaching career, my priority has always been creating a safe, engaging, and supportive learning environment. I have a strong understanding of child development and can prepare age-appropriate, engaging activities. I love working with children of all ages, especially, infants and toddlers.
I am looking for a full-time live-in or out nanny position and can start working in the first week of June 2025. I will be happy to arrange a video interview to discuss how my skills and experience fit your family’s needs. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Regards.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Ally I have been working in education primarily in special ed and behavior therapy for almost 12 years. I have worked with a variety of ages and severity of diagnoses in my career. I enjoy all ages but have really loved working in private in home care, it offers a stronger bond between myself and the children that I don't get the time to establish in clinical settings. I love incidental teaching and finding ways to help children grow socially emotionally through naturalistic opportunities. I avoid using screens where possible and love museum trips and excursions to expand their world. If desired I have plenty of programs aimed at education and social emotional learning that I can provide and assist with any schooling. I am open to all questions, I am currently working Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays as a homeschool teacher and behavior therapist and am looking to add Tuesdays and Thursday to the mix!
