A little bit about me

Hi I'm Allie! I'm 22 years old, I have a bubbly personality and always find a way to make things fun! I'm very musical and can play 8 different instruments and love to sing disney songs! I specialize in arts and crafts, homework help, cooking and cleaning. I love working with children, a few years ago I spent two years as a volunteer at the dedham country day school as a class helper assisting with daily school activities including helping children with math, science, reading / writing, and history and I derived so much joy from watching their progress in their learning and social skills and watching them grow so much so that I became a nanny!

A little bit about me

Hey Families,

I am Carol, an experienced night nanny who has been working with families and their newborns during this special time of their lives for over five years.

I understand that the beginning can be very challenging as you adjust to a new routine, and a night nanny can be very helpful. Therefore, I am here to offer my services. As a night nanny, my duties include:

- Prioritizing the infant's absolute safety above all.
- Soothing and encouraging good sleep habits.
- Feeding, which can include a combination of bringing the infant to the mother to breastfeed and preparing/giving the infant a bottle.
- Administering meds and/or following health protocols for the infant as directed by the family.
- Laundering the infant's clothing.
- Cleaning the bottles and pumping equipment.
- Keeping the nursery and baby areas organized, and restocked.
- Having a sleep-trained baby by the end of our contract.

Feel free to message me. I'd love to know you and chat more :)

A little bit about me

Hola, me llamo Paola, tengo 40 años. Soy colombiano, he estado aquí durante dos años, he sido profesor casi toda mi vida, mi título es una Licenciatura en Educación, tengo experiencia con niños pequeños. Además, soy madre de un niño de siete años, mi inglés está en un nivel básico, estoy en clases, aprendiendo mucho, mi objetivo es hablarlo correctamente. Me encantan los niños, es mi vocación. Además de enseñar, me ocupo de la limpieza, la alimentación y, lo que es más importante, de su bienestar. Es la primera vez que me atrevo a solicitar un trabajo diferente al que he hecho aquí desde que llegué, ahora quiero empezar a seguir centrándome en lo que realmente no me gusta y en lo que quiero hacer, desde entonces quiero ser profesor de escuela. Esca busco oportunidades para aprender, tengo toda la actitud de aprender.
I consider myself a responsible, respectful person with a lot of charisma, creative and educational to develop activities with children.
Well, that's something about me.
