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!

Hi! I’m a senior at Newton South High School who loves working with kids. I’ll be attending Bowdoin College in the fall, and I’m looking to connect with families for babysitting this spring and summer (and potentially beyond!). I have four years of babysitting experience with children of various ages, I’m CPR certified, and I have my own car so I can drive. I’m very responsible, organized, and energetic, and I enjoy engaging kids in crafts, outdoor activities, and games. I’d love to connect if you’re looking for help!

Nannied for a family of 4 (full-time) for 15 years. Overnight, Vacations and Daily care. I use a variety of different child-care philosophies (e.g. RIE, attachement, gentle care giving) I would say I am most aligned with “holistic” care-giving. Dependent of what each persons specific needs are. Meeting peoples emotional needs and watching them thrive is a great joy of mine. Full spectrum doula. Newborn and Night Nanny. Confident in gentle sleep training. (not crying it out) I’ve been involved in the homeschool/unschooling community for 15+ years. I have a degree in psychology, specifically behavior modification, and feel confident giving care to anyone with low-moderate needs. I am also a certified yoga teacher and was a lifeguard for many years. I am experienced in light household chores as well as having deep roots in nutrition, specifically anti-inflammatory diets. My personality is generally relaxed but I am fiercely loyal to the children in my care, meaning I need to work with a family that also views their child/children as complete people and treats them with respect. :) Also I appreciate adults who can be forward and up front about their boundaries and what they want from a caregiver.

"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!"
