Hi! My name is Juliana. I’m from Portsmouth, NH and moving to Boston very soon. I’ve spent the last 3 years traveling abroad. Most recently, completing an internship in Spain! I’m excited to be back in the beautiful North East full time. I’d love to get a full time nannying job aligned before I move! I hope we get the opportunity to connect. Thank you :)

A little bit about me

I work for the Boston Public Schools System and not been a nanny in the past. I do however work with 3, 4, and 5 year old children many with disabilities. I have been doing this since 2001 and am still currently working for BPS in a Kindergarten classroom. I have raised twin girls who are now 21 years of age and in their 3rd year of college. I teach, guide, and care for all of our students on my levels. Many of our students have different needs and I try to consider what each needs individually. I would like to leave the classroom climate and do something more personal such as providing care to another families little ones. I am eager to start a new chapter in life now that my daughters have only 1 yearleft in college. I am not ready to retire and not of retirement age, just looking for a change, a new opportunity in life.

A little bit about me

i have been working in childcare for approximately 8 years.. I have worked with newborns including twins and have also done nanny share along with working in a daycare, all of which has made it possible for me to work with multiple kids at once and multitask ... I love working with children, I like reading, taking walks, doing arts and crafts activities, bringing them to the library for story time and going to the park...I have a bachelors degree in Psychology and Sociology and I am cpr and first aid certified along with other certifications I received from the state (EEC) such as Reducing the Risk of SIDS, Choking Hazards and Medical Administration ... I am available for work as the family I’m working with is transitioning into other things hence i am looking for a new family...
