A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Ayanna and I've lived in Boston my whole life. I have two little brothers and lots of younger cousins, so since I was little I've been helping out with kids, whether on family vacation, at my church's Sunday school, or on my parent's date nights. As I got older, I began babysitting and have loved getting to know and spend time with so many different families for over six years. When I'm not babysitting or studying, I dedicate my time to social justice initiatives as the Co-Head of the Micah Conference, as an action group leader for my anti-human trafficking awareness group, and as the Trinity Institute Prefect for Leadership and Social Justice.

"Ayanna has been an incredible babysitter for our family, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable childcare. She started babysitting our two boys after her older sister went away to college, and the transition was seamless. Since she is also our neighbor, she has been a trusted and familiar presence in our children’s lives. Our boys are 2 and 4 years old and extremely high energy, but Ayanna handles them with patience, confidence, and kindness. She is fully capable of managing dinner time, bath time, bedtime, and everything in between. Our kids love spending time with her because she is engaging, creative, and genuinely attentive. She keeps them active with games, outdoor play, crafts, and reading while also making sure they stay safe and on schedule. Ayanna is responsible, mature, communicative, punctual, and has earned our complete trust with our children and in our home"

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Tara and I am an energetic, fun-loving nanny with over 6 years experience. I graduated from the Berklee College of Music in 2022 with a degree in music production and business, and have enhanced my education by recently beginning online courses to study neuroscience. Every child and teen I've worked with, I can say has viewed me as more of a big sister because of the safe and fun environment I provide, while also teaching them autonomy and independence. I want to contribute my positive energy and various skill sets to your child's growth and development, in addition to alleviating the daily stressors you deal with as a mom/dad by maintaining your home. I have my own car, I'm a musician and can provide lessons, I'm skilled in culinary arts, and I have experience in home organization. I will do everything in my power to ensure that your home is filled with laughter, joy, and growth.
