Warm, attentive, experienced nanny devoted to your little ones.
Hello parents!
My name is Beata. I’m an Indonesian-born US citizen with more than 13 years of experience caring for children. These days my heart is with the littlest ones, and I love to begin with babies around 8-14 months and grow alongside them through toddlerhood, usually until they start preschool.
I first started nannying in Boston in the mid-1980s, while studying music and photography in college. After spending two decades working as a photographer, in 2017 I returned to caregiving full time as a deliberate choice. I’ve loved every minute since.
I tend to stay for the long term and become part of the family. Many of the families I’ve worked with stay in touch for years, long after my regular days with their children have ended. That kind of lasting bond is exactly what I hope for.
I have a deep and genuine interest in how young children grow, and over the years I've built a real, hands-on understanding of early development. I'm a curious, thoughtful person who loves learning, and I bring that same engaged, attentive mind to your child's care.
I bring undivided presence when I’m with your child. I watch them closely, following their lead, and noticing the small signals that tell me what they needs before they have the words for it.
When a little one is upset, my instinct is to meet them calmly and warmly, so distress is always responded with kindness. I believe in helping children learn that feelings are safe to have.
I find such joy in being part of these early years. I love to take little ones for walks, sing and read to them, and encourage curiosity through play and gentle, open-ended creative activities.
People describe me as gentle, grounded, reliable, organized, and happy to keep a calm, tidy home. I’m physically fit and active, and I love being on the move with little ones.
Outside of work I read widely, study languages & cultures, and take photographs. I’m bilingual in English-Indonesian, with basic Spanish and French. I bring an artist’s eye into the way I play and create with children.
I have never owned any pet but have been very comfortable working in households with dogs.
If you’re hoping to find someone who will become a warm, steady, loving presence in your child’s early years, I’d love to hear from you!
Best,
Beata
