A little bit about me

Hi! I’m an elementary school teacher relocating back to the Boston area this summer and looking for a nanny position during my school break (and potentially full time depending on the teaching jobs available for me). Before & during my teaching career, I have spent several years working with babies and young children, which is where my heart and expertise really lie outside the classroom. I’m patient, dependable, and love creating a nurturing, safe environment where children feel supported and cared for. I’m especially comfortable with babies and routines like feeding, naps, and developmental play. I value open communication with families and would love to be a reliable, caring presence for your child this summer.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Teacher, Nanny, & Babysitter (peer mentor, too)

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

EVERYTHING! Pinterest is my best friend for fun crafts and activities. The teacher in me is always trying to foster learning AND fun.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Sneaking learning into play

My experience with special needs children...

I have spent time helping out in the Strive program at some schools I have worked at :)

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was when a little one I worked with started pointing out letter sounds on street signs after weeks of us turning everything into a “sound hunt” game (more specifically, the "B" sound for "baby" when playing with his baby doll). A few days later, their mom told me they were doing it with them, too. Seeing something we made playful and fun stick — and carry into their real world — is the best feeling. As a teacher, I love when learning sneaks in through joy.
