A little bit about me

My name is Gabrielle and I am one of six children. I’m 25 years old and live in South Boston. I have been watching children for over ten years - my experience ranges from newborns to teens. I have taught dance to groups of children, cared for a family of five kids, and been with multiple families for consecutive years. I love spending time with children and doing crafts/playing sports. I have my own car and don’t mind pick ups/ drop offs, light cleaning and meal prep. I worked for TJX headquarters for two years and just recently left. I am seeking a full time position while I figure out my next career move!

A little bit about me

Hi Parents,
My name is Laura Lopes, I am a 16 year old student living in Back Bay, Boston. I love being around children and hearing what their little minds have to offer the world. I am triple vaccinated, and get COVID tested two times per week. For prior experience, during the summer I used to work with toddlers in camp hours. Since I am still in school, I can work weekends from 6:30am-11:30pm. My schedule will change during breaks and summer.

A little bit about me, I am a outdoorsy person with an adventurous spirit. Since I can remember I have adored music which is why I picked up the flute. I have been playing the flute for ten years. I am passionate about the things I love, which makes me a hard worker. I deeply care for our environment, my goal for this year is to completely change my lifestyle into being zero waste! Please consider contacting me.
