$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! I am recently retired from the work force. I’m realizing I have a lot more to give to this life so what better way than to assist with all the childcare needs out there! I have always had a special place in my heart for children. Having 3 grandchildren of my own I know how to engage and encourage them to participate in fun and learning activities. I would love the opportunity to be a part of your child’s life and explore the many wonders of their imagination and guide them through every day activities!

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 13 families in Danvers, MA

I have worked in child care for 8 years in a variety of places. Most recently I was the assistant director at a YMCA camp and before that I was an after school tutor. Additionally I just graduated from the University of San Francisco. I have had a cat and a dog for most of my life, so your children and animals are safe with me! I believe in safety first and fun is number two. I strive for helping kids learn to be responsible and learning from their environment, but also to make sure that the kids are enjoying their time!

Camille showed up early, kept us informed on her timing and most importantly, developed an amazing rapport with our 5yo daughter, who took to her immediately. We’ll definitely continue working with Camille.

Booked by 1 family in Danvers, MA

Hi! My name is Katie, I’m a 32-year-old professional nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age kids. I’m skilled in managing multiples, nanny shares, and children with behavioral, emotional regulation, or executive functioning challenges. My approach emphasizes connection, autonomy, and play-based learning, and I love tailoring activities to each child’s interests, whether that’s singing, dancing, crafting clay figurines, or exploring fun activities around Boston, Cambridge, and the North Shore. I have done many different kinds of jobs including: long-term (3+ years) short-term, overnight, vacations, and date nights! I hold a Child & Youth Advocacy certificate and Associates in Liberal Arts Psychology from NSCC. I am also currently pursuing my Social Work degree at Salem State University. In addition, I volunteer with the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless and CASA, bringing a strong commitment to supporting children and families both professionally and in the community. Some of my specific strengths include: • Redirection and emotional coaching • Supporting intuitive eating • Managing ADHD and sensory needs • Creating practical systems that support families long-term Thanks Katie

Katie is our current nanny to our 2.5-year-old twin girls, and she has been a wonderful addition to our family. One of the things we appreciate most about Katie is her knowledge of child development. She is always coming up with fun, age-appropriate activities that help our girls learn and grow while keeping them engaged and excited. She is also incredibly in tune with children's emotions and does a great job helping our daughters work through big feelings with patience, empathy, and understanding. Katie is dependable, caring, and genuinely invested in our girls' well-being and development. We feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to any family.
