A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Camilla and I am currently a student at the University of Arizona majoring in marketing. I am originally from Tucson, Arizona, but I have family in Boston and visit every year, it is my favorite city. I will be living in East Boston this summer and am looking for a babysitting opportunity.

I have been babysitting since high school for families in my neighborhood, working with kids ranging from about six to thirteen years old. I am comfortable helping with meals, keeping things clean and organized, driving kids to activities, and staying in communication with parents. I also speak Spanish, which has been helpful working with bilingual families.

I love hiking, traveling, and reading, and I am known for making really good smoothies. I am responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, and I would love the opportunity to help out this summer!

A little bit about me

My name is Elise and I am a 23-year-old professional nanny. I have years and years of experience taking care of children (and animals) of all ages. I used to be a theater camp counselor during the summer and I coach volleyball as well.

I am originally from Boston, but have spent the last few years travelling around. I am now headed back to Boston and will be there for years to come.

I am fun, caring, and watchful. I know how important development and learning is for younger children and am a very creative nanny. I love the outdoors, reading, art, and music. I am also an athlete, and I graduated at the top of my class and was a great student. I also have twins experience!

Some of my favorite activities to do with the children I take care of are going to parks, trips to museums, reading, sensory play, dancing, singing, listening to and playing music, and many more. I make it a point to get the children in my care out of the house for age appropriate activities, every single day (except for newborns of course)

I have attended National Nanny Training day, have received my Credentialed Nanny certification from the International Nanny Association, and will be undergoing training to become a CPST (Child Passenger Safety Technician). I also have college coursework in early childhood education.

I am first aid and CPR certified for infants/toddlers/children/adults. I also have my own safe vehicle (2014 Nissan Rogue) and have experience driving children.

Thanks!

A little bit about me

I have a passion for working with children during their early childhood years. Early childhood development fascinates me and results in a rewarding experience to witness growth in all areas social/ emotional, and physical. I have experience in the Reggio philosophy that children learn through play and curiosity combined with structure.
On a personal level, I am married with 4 grown kids ( 19-24 ) in various stages of college/ working. I have taken time away to help my husband run his business but I am ready to get back to doing what I love. My hobbies are cooking, knitting, boating and hiking with our dog Louie at our place in NH.

A little bit about me

Hello!

My name is Ellyse Zenner and I am 22 years old. I was born and raised in Wisconsin but am currently living in Utah.

In the last five years I have completed an Associates degree and am working towards a Bachelors degree currently. The last two school years I have worked in an Elementary Special Education classroom and absolutely loved it. The most rewarding aspect of teaching is meeting the students where they are at and watching them progress further.

Art is my biggest passion in life, and I love to practice my art-based hobbies when I can find the time. I love to sketch, oil and acrylic paint, write, read, and build legos. I am the biggest Formula 1 fan and love to watch every race. I also love to bake and explore recipes on the weekends.

I would love to become a nanny because teaching and working with kids have always been a big part of my life, and I believe are my calling.

A little bit about me

My name is Rebekah, but you can call me Bekah! I’m currently pursuing a degree in Family and Human Development and Innovation, and I’m incredibly passionate about nurturing children. Growing up in a family of six as the youngest of four, I’ve always loved being surrounded by the energy and joy that children bring, and it has shaped my desire to care for them. I’ve had the privilege of working with children in various roles, from volunteering at a children's hospital to caring for a set of triplets. These experiences have deepened my love for helping children grow, learn, and thrive. I’m a warm, compassionate, and adaptable person, and I’m excited about the opportunity to share laughter and learning moments with your family. I look forward to the chance to meet you all and bring my creativity, enthusiasm, and support to your household!
Warmly, Bekah
