Cindy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Cindy, I’m located in Nashua, NH, and I’m happy to travel up to 45 minutes for the right nanny position. My current nanny position is in Salem, NH, which is about 45 minutes from my home. I am looking for a full time Nanny position. I start at $25/hr depending on the amount of children and the circumstances. I’d love to tell you a little bit about myself, my experience as a nanny, and the ways I can also support your family as a helpful household manager. I hope this gives you a better sense of who I am and the kind of care I provide. 💙 As a Nanny I am a very patient, nurturing, and compassionate person who truly believes that children thrive when they feel safe, loved, understood, and supported. When a child is struggling or acting out, I believe in taking the time to understand what they are communicating rather than simply reacting to the behavior. I use a variety of positive behavioral techniques that help me connect with children and respond to them in ways that are appropriate for their age and individual needs. Understanding how a child’s developing brain processes emotions, communication, and experiences allows me to approach challenging moments with patience and compassion. Every child is different, and I believe in learning who each child is and finding the approach that works best for them. I have experience caring for children from infancy through age 14. 👩‍⚕️ Education, Training & Experience Some of my relevant qualifications and experience include: Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) First Aid certified Adult and Infant/Child CPR certified SIDS trained Daycare certified through a previous daycare position, which required approximately 400 hours of work experience and completion of 12 Care Courses CDA training in teaching School drop-offs and pick-ups Transportation to and from extracurricular activities Experience caring for children across a wide range of ages and developmental stages 🌱 Activities I Enjoy With Children Infants: I love engaging babies through age-appropriate sensory activities involving touch, sight, and sound. I also enjoy reading books, singing, talking with them, and going outside for walks and fresh air. Toddlers: I enjoy sensory activities, introducing ABCs, counting to 10, learning colors, and beginning to introduce the days of the week and months of the year. Reading, music, creative play, and plenty of outdoor time are also favorites. Ages 4–5: I enjoy building on the skills they began learning as tod

Booked by 10 families in Ayer, MA

I've always had a passion for nurturing the growth and development of children. With eight years of childcare experience, I've had the privilege of supporting families and providing a reliable childcare option for them. My patient, calm, and friendly nature allows me to connect with children of all ages. I ensure open lines of communication with parents, either verbally at pick-up or through their preferred method, to discuss their child's day or any concerns. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules while fostering a positive and nurturing environment. My favorite moments are spent engaging children in outdoor sports, playing educational games, or having fun with board games and puzzles. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children, ranging from infants to preteens, and am available to provide care during the day, evenings, and weekends. I have a car and am comfortable with pets.

I was able to enjoy myself all night. The cherry on top was Katia teaching my oldest some new words in Spanish. My daughter was thrilled.”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
