A little bit about me

I’m a reliable, nurturing nanny with a strong focus on children’s safety, well-being, and development. As a former nursing student, I’m CPR-trained and highly attentive to health, safety, and routines. I’m comfortable providing homework help, school pick-ups/drop-offs, and safe transportation to activities. I create a supportive, structured environment where children feel secure, encouraged, and confident while still having fun. I value clear communication with parents and take pride in being someone families can truly depend on.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Hazel, and I am currently a graduate student at Emerson College, for Language Speech Pathology. I am originally from Portland, Maine, but relocated to East Boston for school. I have been a nanny for over 12 years and have worked with children of all ages, but have the most experience with infants - 3 years. I love being a nanny and always look at it as enriching a childs life rather than a job! I am able to do light house work, punctual, and my schedule is very flexible. I look forward to meeting you!

A little bit about me

Hi Families ,
I’m Brianna I’m 22 years old I’m currently in college and want to work while in school ,I have extensive experience in customer service, which has taught me how to be patient, understanding, and responsive to the needs of others. Growing up, I helped care for my three younger siblings, which gave me hands-on experience in nurturing and guiding children from infancy through their toddler years. I’m deeply committed to creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for kids to thrive in. Whether it’s planning creative activities or simply offering a comforting presence, I am passionate about supporting children in a way that builds their confidence and helps them feel loved and cared for. I’d love the opportunity to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your family, ensuring peace of mind while providing your children with the care and attention they deserve.

A little bit about me

Hi! I currently live in Mississippi, but I am looking to transition to working full-time as a nanny. I am open to relocating anywhere in the U.S., as long as live-in can be accommodated. I was previously studying Special Education, so I have a very broad understanding of child development and behaviors. I have been working with children both in volunteer and professional settings for several years. I am more than comfortable with young or multiple children, and I am also happy to do dishes, laundry, and other housekeeping. My hours are extremely flexible, as I am ideally looking for a full time position! Please reach out if you think I could be a good fit for your family!
