A little bit about me

Hi! I am a 26-year-old Brookline resident currently working towards my Masters in Education from Lesley University. I have several years of nannying and babysitting experience, from kids as young as infants up to 12 years old. I take a warm and engaging approach to childcare. I worked at Boston Children's Museum for three years, giving me ample exposure to early education practices and the importance of play. I help kids use their imagination, be creative, develop a love of reading, and simply have fun, as that is what's most important for a child. I'm looking for a full time nanny job during the week. Something to note is that starting in the fall of 2023, I will have four-day availability, as I will be doing a practicum in a school for my grad program. However, I can assure you (and my references can too!) that I am an excellent caregiver and it is immediately apparent how much I truly care about creating a fulfilling, play-filled experience for the kids in my care.
