A little bit about me
I am 25 years old with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Child Development & Family Relations. I currently am employed as a lead teacher of a daycare center in Portland, Maine. Prior, I used to work in case management and social work as a mental health coordinator and child protective social worker. I have actually received a nannying job from this platform as well in my college days. I am looking to relocate to Massachusetts to be closer to home, and would be thrilled to provide care for your young ones. Please let me know if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!

A little bit about me
I’ve had on and off experience with children from infant to 13 years old since I was 16 years old, as well as briefly a nanny in NYC! For the last 6 years, I’ve been working in a healthcare field between nursing facilities and hospitals.
I’m especially great with hands on learning and activities, daily teachings, reading, playtime, and am happy to facilitate play dates.
I’ve really missed working with children of all ages, the joy the experience and the growing life is just like no other!
Aside from nannying, I love to hike, I shoot film photography and go on adventures with my husband and dog!

A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Kierra. I am a college student fully online. I've been centered around care since before I can remember, as I belong to a family of 10 and am one of the eldest. I've had many years to experience every age and have found in caring that it fits me just right. I would be described as thoughtful, kind, and outgoing by others and I'd love to be an extra helping hand.

A little bit about me
I'm 42 and a mother of 3 children ages 24, 15, and 11. I'm a full-time student online getting my BS Degree in Business Management and I'm a wife of 4 years. I can cook, bake, clean, laundry, and help with homework. I have a cat and small dog at home. I take the city bus system or walk everywhere. I've never gotten paid for watching my own children so this would be a first for watching someone else's children.

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Jeanne. I’m 23, I have a bachelors degree in criminal justice and sociology. I have worked in the North Shore of MA for a year as a case manager/outreach worker. Specifically, I work with children who have mental illness and behavioral issues as part of a in home treatment team. During my time with this agency I have worked with DCF and DMH. In addition to this, throughout college i worked with a 9 year old boy as a tutor/nanny, as a substitute teacher for a daycare, and a literacy tutor for a program affiliated with the college and local schools. I worked as a camp counselor for 5 summers prior to college and one year while I was still in school. I have experience working with all ages from newborns to teenagers. Recently I have decided to explore my education further and begin my graduate studies.. Being part of a larger system I have put my creativity, passion, and brain to the test. I am extremely patient, especially during these times we are experiencing.
