A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Marissa, I’m a 23 year old graduate student. I have plenty of experience working with children from full-time daycare to being a team lead at the YMCA. I’m looking to work as a nanny while I take a break from my studies, but if the family is a good fit I am willing to nanny long term.

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Catherine, but I go by Cat. I am from Rockland County, NY. I grew up with babysitters as both of my parents worked full time. As I grew up I began to watch my brother and my cousins. This than shifted to more formal babysitting gigs and then I worked for 4 years at a rock climbing gym for kids that had childcare/camp from ages 4 and up! This winter I completed my senior internship at Boston Children's Hospital on a short stay surgical unit, so it's safe to say I enjoy working with kids! I have experience babysitting with most age groups, and currently babysit for a family with a 1.5 year old and a 3 year old. I have a german shepherd dog at home so pets are welcomed! I consider myself to be extroverted, caring, and compassionate. I graduate this May with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of New Hampshire. I have my Basic Life Support for Healthcare providers and Advanced Cardiac Life Support certifications

I can help with basic everyday childcare and carpooling and I'd like to think I'm a pretty patient, reliable, and caring individual who learns fast and can look after your child/children as if they were my own. I may not have kids yet but I've always been pretty good with them. I have two godkids that I constantly look after which has taught me a lot about kids and their behaviors and what I should and shouldn't do in certain situations. If you do decide to pick me as your child/children's caretaker, I will make sure you don't regret it.

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Andrew and I am a 21 year old student at Berklee College of Music. I am currently taking the semester off due to some financial issues and am looking for a full time position as a nanny! I am passionate about music, photography and food! I play guitar in a few bands that play around Boston and other places in the east coast and I also love doing live concert photography. I cook all the time and try my hand at different types of food from around the world when I can! As far as previous experience goes i have only had part time babysitting jobs as well as helping family members out with their younger ones. What I lack in experience I make up for in a willingness to learn and a fun personality. I think I am great with kids, easy to talk to and I think I would be a perfect fit for your household!
