A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Marina! Recently graduated from high school, I'm gearing up for a summer adventure in Nantucket while also seeking a live-in nanny role. Originally from Brazil, I spent five years in Massachusetts before moving to Oahu last year. Though I cherish my time in Hawaii, I'm excited for the classic Cape summers. I’ll be heading to Santa Barbara for college, pursuing political science on a pre-law track, my classes start late August, leaving me available for June and July, but needing to depart early August. With experience caring for kids of all ages, including newborns, toddlers, and older children, I bring patience, care, and support. Happy to assist with light housework. If interested, please send me a DM to chat further. Excited to connect! 💗

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Kiki Ribka, a 25-year-old originally from New York who’s spent every summer on Nantucket—it’s truly my second home.

I’ve been working with a local nonprofit that serves children here on the island, but since the program pauses during the summer, I’m looking for a new opportunity to support families during that time.

With extensive experience working with kids of all ages, I bring a caring, responsible, and reliable approach to childcare. I’d be happy to provide references upon request.

If you’re interested or have any questions, feel free to call or text me at [phone number hidden]. I’d love to connect and help your family have a fun and stress-free summer!
