A little bit about me
Hi! I am a college graduate who is taking a couple of years off before going back to school to get my Masters Degree! I got my degree in History from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. I have been working with children since I was 16, I am reliable and caring. I enjoy working with children and seeing their little personalities develop into something amazing with the right care and nurturing. I am very good at planning activities for kiddos to do, such as crafts, games, going to the park, or the beach, pool, etc etc. I am also able to help with schoolwork and housekeeping/light meal prep. I am able to cook and can cook balanced meals according to the child’s tastes and dietary restrictions as well. I love each child I work with as if they were my own, and I show that kind of care and respect for them when they are in my care. I love to read and love to read to kids and get them engaged and interested in books. I’m excited to work for an amazing family!

I am a Type A type of person that always go above and beyond for the families that hires me. I adapt quickly to the families lifestyles and preferred upbringing for their little ones.

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Desiree! I'm an outgoing, responsible, and caring person. I am currently a college student majoring in child studies. I've worked as a youth/ social worker. I was responsible for creating & monitoring the kids activities, keeping them occupied & entertained, & cooking and cleaning up after them. The kids ages ranged from 5 to 17. I also have experience with younger children starting at the age of 2 months. While I was in high school, I was apart of the "friendship club" which is a club that interacts and does crafts with the special needs kids in my school. I am very creative and love coming up with ways to engage kids. I also love to cook and am very organized. If you think I'd be a good fit for you and your family, please don't hesitate to reach out!

"Desiree did an amazing job caring for my 3 children. At the time of care I had an infant, 3 & 5 y/o. Desi came at a time I really needed the care. She was in charge of the kids and house managing. She did an amazing job and the kids loved her. We were so sad when we moved and couldn’t bring her with us lol. 100% recommend."

A little bit about me
My name is Emily and I graduated with distinction from the University of Wisconsin- Madison as a Psychology major and Gender Women's Studies minor in May 2020. I currently work as a Clinical Research Coordinator at Harvard University. I live in Southie and work remotely alongside my mini-poodle. I am looking for weeknight and weekend babysitting opportunities, occasionally or semi-regularly. I am also ready for last-minute care. I am CPR/AED certified. I have babysat children of all ages, newborns-sixteen-year-olds. I enjoy taking kids to the park or engaging in painting or arts and crafts; most of all, I LOVE to be silly! In college, I was an Executive Member of my sorority. I also participated in many non-for-profit organizations and was the director of a theater program to raise money for a community center. I am extremely responsible.
I look forward to hearing from you!
