During the day, I am a senior in high school, and I am planning to attend college in the upcoming year. After school, I work at an aftercare at an elementary school four days a week, and have been working there for almost two years. Mainly, I work with kindergarten, but can range from K-5. I am also working at camp this summer. I love working with kids and doing crafts! I have my license, so I can able to drive around, at parents request/permission! I also love cats and fish, so I am able to care for both! More over, I can help kids with their math homework. I also have to be flexible with my schedule for school and work, so reach out to me about those kind of questions as well.

Hi - My name is Margaret. I'm a paraprofessional in an integrated (special needs and traditional education) preschool classroom at Placentino Elementary in Holliston. I’m looking for additional hours working with children and families after school, on school holidays, and weekends. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household services. I live in Holliston with two of my own and two step children in their teenage and young adult years, and two dogs. I had cats for two decades prior to 2020. I’ve been an active member of the PTA for many of my children’s school years, have experience in ABA and working with neurodiverse children and adults with traits or official diagnosis of ADHD. autism, and dyslexia. I am also a certified yoga instructor working towards an additional yoga certification for neurodiverse children and adults. I love working with children, and have been a nanny, babysitter, or mother since I was a young teenager myself. I look forward to meeting you!
