Find an after school nanny in East Boston, MA

At age 11 i started babysitting for the neighborhood- to the point i was in very high demand and had to learn the art of negotiation. i stayed with the same families for many years literally up until i met and married my husband. we had 3 boys and cherished that experience as they grew into men. in 2020, i began my Nanny journey, and have loved every minute of it. children are our greatest commodity and i believe i have a special gift to connect with children and help them to thrive and develop into the very best they can be! in addition, i have learned how to create healthy boundaries with a family unit by anticipating and being conscientious of family dynamics. ultimately i pride myself in helping a family to thrive as individuals and as a whole. i have learned that each family has their own unique parenting style and its own challenges each and everyday - it’s been my personal experience that i can lend myself into those challenges to lighten the load by my attentive nature, compassion, energy and kindness. i take great pride in my role as a Nanny and cherish the moment’s shared with a loving and growing family.

Hi! I’m an 18-year-old college student with lots of experience caring for kids between the ages of 2 and 10. I enjoy taking kids on fun, safe adventures —whether it's exploring outside, doing crafts, or playing games. I'm currently looking for a babysitting job while I’m in college and would love the opportunity to help out!

Hi! I have been professionally nannying children for fourteen years, varying from infants to preteens and would love to get to know your kiddo(s)! I have experience with nanny shares (two toddlers), and have had multiple positions caring for 2 kids at the same time. I also have experience with house managing, meal prep, driving kids, bottle prep, diaper changing, and putting down for naps/bed. I also have experience being out and about with kiddos, as well as socializing with other parents/nannies and their children. I’m very adaptive to constantly changing circumstances and pride myself with being able to roll with the punches :) I also have experience helping children develop skills to manage their own emotions, and teaching them developmentally appropriate social skills. I’m very warm and patient with children, especially during meltdowns. I also have experience helping navigate conflict resolution. I am the best fit for a family who values children learning emotional skills over learning manners. I know manners are extremely important to many families, but I prefer to let a child have big feelings, help them through those feelings and develop age appropriate skills to help them the next time it happens. I will absolutely help kiddos learn manners ("please" and "thank yous") but only when the kiddo seems in the right head space to absorb such info. For example, if a kiddo is having a bad day and yells at me that I'm stupid, I am more likely to respond by asking, "is that how you feel about me right now?" than asking for an apology. Then after they've calmed down, I would say something like, "I know you were frustrated with me earlier, and that is absolutely okay. But let's come up with a different thing you can say to me instead of telling me I'm stupid." That way it's a process the kiddo and I are involved in together, and they feel like they have some control within a structured and boundaried relationship. If a baby is having a meltdown, I’m the kind of caregiver who will soothe them through it and validate their feelings, instead of trying to make the meltdown stop. I’m an avid reader (and a published author with HarperCollins!), and my hobbies include baking, knitting, sewing, yoga, meditation, singing, and doing theatre :) I am CPR and Choke Prevention certified. AND I LOVE PETS :D

I bring a unique combination of nurturing experience and practical skills that make me a reliable, compassionate caregiver across multiple areas—whether caring for children, homes, or pets. As a mother, I understand the profound responsibility of caring for those who depend on us. I’ve worked as a babysitter, tutor, teacher, and mentor, giving me deep insight into child development, education, and creating safe, engaging environments where young people thrive. I’m patient and creative, skilled at adapting to different learning styles and personality types. My background in the healing arts—including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, yoga, and coaching—has taught me to approach caregiving holistically. I’m attuned to both physical and emotional wellbeing, and I bring a calming, grounded presence to any situation. These skills make me especially effective at supporting wellness, managing stress, and creating peaceful environments. When it comes to household management, I have over 20 years of experience caring for properties, including 14 years as a homeowner and ongoing management of my parents’ homes. I’m detail-oriented and take genuine pride in maintaining spaces that are clean, organized, and welcoming. I’m also trained in energetic space clearing—a practice I’ve been developing for eight years—and I’m excited to bring this much-needed skill to house sitting. My excellent reviews as an Airbnb guest reflect my respect for others’ homes and my understanding of what makes a space feel truly cared for. While I’ve never owned a dog myself, I’ve always loved them and have regularly pet-sat and walked dogs for friends over the years. I’m comfortable with their needs, routines, and quirks, and I genuinely enjoy their company. What sets me apart is my mission-oriented approach: I don’t just complete tasks—I care about the people, animals, and spaces entrusted to me. I’m flexible and adapt easily to changing needs. I’m also an excellent communicator, keeping families informed and ensuring everyone feels heard. Above all, I’m compassionate and caring. Whether I’m supporting a family, maintaining a home, or walking a beloved pet, my role is to bring peace of mind, reliability, and genuine warmth to every interaction.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Hello! My name is Ayanna and I am an EEC-Certified childcare professional with over 8 years of experience as a nanny and infant teacher. Additionally, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education from UMass Amherst. Every day is an opportunity for me to make a positive impact in the lives of young children and families! I have experience utilizing various educational principles ranging from Reggio Emilia to Montessori. I love The Arts and sometimes love to incorporate different media based on the child's interests. My ideal childcare job is one where I have fun yet create meaningful experiences for young children that can play a part in carrying them through life with confidence and empathy. I also enjoy utilizing my creative attributes through music, art, and language to broaden a child's understanding of the world and themselves. Providing rich, diverse experiences is something that I believe shapes a person's perception of the world and helps to drive their own goals and motivations, whether big or small.
