Hello! My name is Star and I have been described as a positive, patient, and attentive caregiver. I am a recent graduate of the University of Massachusetts Amherst with my bachelors degree in horticultural science with a business focus. I have worked with Children in many summer camp settings, including two summers at Amherst recreation as a lead counselor. I have also spent much of my young adult adulthood babysitting, taking care of children from ages 2 to 14. I am currently a afterschool teacher at Baker elementary school working with kids from grades one to six. I am reliable and can do household tasks like laundry, cooking, and basic cleaning.
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!
Hi families! I’m a former au pair and professional nanny of 4 years. I have 900+ verified hours as a volunteer at a daycare in South Africa. I’m a quick learner and can easily adapt to new routines and responsibilities. I do have a valid driver’s license with driving experience in all weather conditions and different car types. I am comfortable around small dogs and friendly cats. I am comfortable with light house cleaning(light sweeping, dishes, light laundry, tidying up) and can assist with homework. I am a bit silly and fun but always within reason. If needed I can whip up quick meals too!
Hello! My name is Teagan and I have been working with kids of all ages for about 11 years. I have experience working with children from ages 0-16. Please reach out if you have any questions! Thanks!
“Teagan looked after my son (four and a half months old) during the day while I ran some errands. She was energetic when she walked in and it was clear she knew a baby of his ages rhythm. Luca didn’t take a long nap like he typically does by Teagan was able to calm him down and do some more chilled playtime. She was also communicative throughout the day.”
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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
Theresa M., parent
"Hannah was awesome. Went above & beyond to help me with a last minute emergency. She was really sweet & great with my 16mo old. Highly recommend!!"
