A little bit about me

I absolutely adore working with children. Kids are constantly reminding you to look at life from a different perspective and focus on the possibilities rather than limitations of any situation. In my free time, I compete in highland games heavy athletic competitions, knit and I love to read!

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Leondine, AKA Leo. I'm 20 years old and have experience with kids ranging from a few months old to 15 years old. I have 3 years of professional experience. I practically raised my younger siblings who are now 12 and 16. I'm a quick learner, patient and very adaptable. I can help light housekeeping, homework, crafts, running errands, and cooking although I'm not a pro at that yet. I want this job because it'll give me more experience with children of different walks of life. My goal is to become a child therapist for those who've unfortunately experienced trauma.

A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Giulia Kramer, I am a Colorado native completing my Bachelor's of Science at Northeastern University. All throughout my teenage years, I have worked closely with children of all ages. From babysitting in the neighborhood, to nannying for a family that I would consider my own, I have experienced the ups and downs of early child care. My passions for early childhood care and education has flourished through classroom support as a teacher aide in private ece education. Outside of my work life, I spend my time doing the things I love most: traveling, fitness classes, baking, enjoying nature, and spending time with family.

A little bit about me

Have moved backed to the Boston area after 12 years working with children in Colorado. I worked in a small licensed daycare with infants 2 months to 3 years. I also babysat for many of the children including their older siblings (often times graduates of our program). Getting down on the floor with the kids, reading, doing simple crafts projects, and playing outside summer and winter was great fun for all! At our program I was the lead teacher so part of my responsibility and experience includes designing developmentally appropriate activities. When I babysit I also love to take kids on outings to the park, sledding, or just taking a walk. While the kids are napping or asleep I'm happy to help with simple household duties like running a load of the kids laundry or doing meal prep/cleanup.
