Sarah-Jane $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a lifelong nurturer originally from England, though I’ve called this country home since I was 21. My journey with children began at Manchester University where I earned my teaching degree, and it continued through the greatest joy of my life: raising my own two sons, who are now grown. For the last 20 years, I’ve dedicated my heart to caring for other families' little ones. I truly believe that every child needs a patient, creative, and friendly soul in their corner. Whether we are exploring the outdoors, getting lost in a board game, or working through a tricky homework assignment, my goal is always to make your child feel seen and supported. I value the trust you place in me, which is why I prioritize clear, gentle communication and a respectful approach to your family’s unique rhythm and rules. I am also fully certified in CPR and First Aid for your peace of mind. I simply love what I do, and I would be honored to bring a bit of extra joy and stability to your child’s world. I look forward to meeting you and your family!"

Booked by 8 families in Hopedale, 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. ”

Olivia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia and I'm currently a graduate student at Simmons University. I am offering child care and household services. I've worked as a teaching assistant in several elementary schools and have worked specifically with children with special needs. I worked as an assistant teacher in Howell NJ with children preschool-kindergarten and 1st-2nd grade for three summers. I also worked most recently as a teacher's assistant in Easton PA for 2nd grade students, tutoring in reading and math. I worked as a teacher in my local church's Sunday school for four years, working with kids between 3rd-5th grade. I love working with kids of all ages and engaging with them in whatever their interests may be! I can offer tutoring in math, history, reading/writing, art lessons, as well as beginner lessons in Latin and Russian. I love arts and crafts, playing sports (especially tennis and dance), and reading. I'm available for household services such as cleaning, running errands, and laundry.

"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!"
