A little bit about me

Hi all! My name is Maddy, I have been working with kids ever since I can remember! I grew up as the second oldest of 8 so I was the built-in sitter, but I started paid babysitting jobs around the age of 13. I worked as a camp counselor in Kingston, MA for 6 years. I also worked as a preschool teacher in Pembroke. My most recent nannying job was last year, caring for a 6 month old boy and 3 year old girl. I have experience with all ages, but ideally I’d like to work with children in the age range of 6 months to 4 years old. I look forward to meeting and hearing from you. Thank you for your time.

A little bit about me

My name is Lilly. I am currently going to school in Boston at Suffolk University. I have had a lot of experience with children. I worked as a swim instructor for 3 years with kids aged from 2 years old to 10 years old. I have also done my fair share of babysitting. I also was also a lifeguard from 2019 to 2020, so although I am no longer certified in CPR and First Aid I have had experience in it.

A little bit about me

I am a 16 year old student who is looking into during summer and after school nanny part time. I am a very loving, caring, creative person who loves to work with children. I have never been a many but I do have experience with children. I help my mom babysit a 3 year old now and a 4 year old. My mom took in the 3 year old child as a 1 year old and the 4 year old child has been with us since he was 3 months old. As part of my help I provide activities, entertainment, educational learning for the kids. I also make food for the kids such as breakfast lunch and sometimes dinner. I am able to work full time during the summer but part time during school time. My school starts at 8:30am-3:30pm on Monday- Thursday then Friday I get in at 8:30am- 1:00pm.

A little bit about me

I love children and have enjoyed my work as a nanny both for over 5 years in the United States and longer in my home country. I have experience caring for newborns, toddlers, and preschool age children, both alone and as a nanny share. This experience includes cooking and feeding, changing special, calming babies, games and crafts, among other activities. I am known to have a special touch when it comes to fussy babies, and generally am happiest when I am around children. I am a native Spanish speaker and
 love helping young children to learn the language through singing, reading, dancing, and storytelling. In addition to my experience as a nanny, I have worked as a children's entertainer at birthday parties and events. I have CPR certification and references available upon request. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I would love to hear from you.
