Booked by 8 families in Mansfield, MA

Hi families! My name is Astrid. I began my childcare journey at just 19 years old. I helped out as an assistant teacher in my mother Montessori daycare for 5 years. I then went on to be a career nanny with a 4 year gap starting in 2020 due to the pandemic. In my years of being a nanny, I have taken several college courses in child psychology and development. My approach to child care is heavily influenced by the Montessori philosophy, letting the child’s mind guide me into caring for them. I have extensive experience with children from 3 months old to 6 years old. I am passionate about what I do and would love an opportunity to prove it to you.

Astrid was great with my son. He was comfortable with her right away. She took him to the park and got him to bed without a problem.

Booked by 1 family in Mansfield, MA

Hello! My name is Kennedy, or Ken for short! I am 26 years old and am an elder sister to four younger siblings, who now range from age 12 to 18. I have helped in caring for each of them since I was 12 years old. This has included picking and dropping them off at school, preparing meals, bathing, preparing for bedtime, playing board games, and other fun activities! Outside of my personal experience, I have volunteered for childcare at different organizations in my community as well. I am a recent college graduate with a degree in Psychology and Behavioral Health Studies, and I have experience in studying adolescence and childhood development alongside my hands-on experience. In addition to growing up with many siblings, I also have experience in caring for a broad range of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and bearded dragons! I can also provide aid with basic household chores as well. I love working with kids and getting to play again as an adult! Some of my interests include reading, yoga, exploring the outdoors, crocheting, and making jewelry. I currently work as a barista in the mornings and volunteer at a mental health clinic in the afternoons, so my availability is mostly in the evenings, though I am willing to find flexibility on days when I can! I would love to speak more to see if I would be a good fit for you :)

Booked by 1 family in Mansfield, MA

My name is Jessica, and I’m 28 years old. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education and over six years of experience caring for children of all ages which gave me valuable hands-on experience with child development and daily family routines. I consider myself an active, patient, organized, honest, kind, creative, and loving person. I enjoy spending time outdoors, traveling, and connecting with nature. As a nanny and babysitter, I love planning fun and meaningful activities such as arts and crafts, dancing, painting, board games, nature walks, and more. I truly enjoy supporting children’s growth through playful and engaging experiences. I’m also a native Spanish speaker, and if you’re interested, I’d be happy to introduce your children to the Spanish language through songs, stories, games, and everyday conversation. Currently, I work with a wonderful family with three kids during the week and have been with them for the past two years. They would be happy to provide references. I’m now looking for occasional babysitting opportunities in the evenings and on weekends. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children, helping with bedtime routines, and keeping things tidy and comfortable for families. Thank you for visiting my profile. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones soon!

Jessica was amazing and helped us feel very comfortable leaving our son in her care. She was prompt and very caring with our one year old who bonded with her immediately!
