I'm a nurturing and experienced caregiver-and a mother with over 16 years of experience as a nanny, after-school playground worker, site coordinator, volunteer, and teacher's aide. My background has given me a deep understanding of child development and early education. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development from California State University, Northridge, in 2013, and I'm passionate about creating a safe, fun, and enriching environment where children can learn, explore, and grow. I love incorporating outdoor play, creativity, and hands-on learning into daily activities. As both a parent and a dedicated caregiver, I understand the importance of fostering a nurturing and engaging space for little ones. I'm excited to connect with a family looking for a thoughtful, experienced, and compassionate nanny. Let's work together to create a supportive and stimulating environment for your child!

Hi! My name is Juliette, and I’m a Psychology major at Boston College. I am originally from California. I’ve always loved working with children. I grew up babysitting for my neighbors. In high school, I ran an afterschool art program for 1st–4th graders, helping students express themselves and build confidence through creativity was a truly rewarding experience. I’m patient, dependable, and active, and I enjoy engaging kids through play, crafts, and reading. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and positive environment where children can thrive. I also love to cook and bake, am happy to help with homework and household tasks, and I’m comfortable caring for pets as well.
Hello, My name is Aloha, I'm 24 years old, and I'm currently an au pair for a family of three children, ages 7, 14, and 17. The 14-year-old is autistic, so I'm able to look after a child with a mild disability. I'm French but I speak good English. In France, I also looked after children between the ages of 3 and 6. I've also looked after toddlers a few times, so I'm able to do so with clear instructions about their needs. I am offering child care, pets care, and household services. I can cook, drive to appointments, or other tasks. Looking forward to helping you :)

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
