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.

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.

A little bit about me
I am a Kindergarten teacher and single mom of a three year old. I am looking for a side nannying job with someone interested in having my son with me at times. I would love to give as many experiences for your child while in my care. I love to go for walks, go to the beach, sit down and do arts and crafts, play games inside and outside to keep your child and mine busy and away from a lot of screen time!
