Hello! I am a former 6-12th grade teacher going back to school for nursing. I am looking for occasional or part time work on the days that I don’t have classes. My formal experience with children includes teaching middle school and high school, as well as summer camp with preschool to middle school aged children, and as an educational assistant for a special needs program. Although it has been awhile since I officially offered childcare, I grew up taking care of four younger siblings as well as foster children. I did often babysit for families with multiple children of different ages throughout high school and am looking to start again. I am comfortable with children of all ages, and am happy to help with light household chores and pets if needed. As a former teacher, I have a lot of experience with lesson planning and engaging kids in science (and other subjects too) regardless of their age and I would be happy to implement this in any childcare position. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Hi! I go by Nyxie (they/them/fae). I bring over 15 years of experience caring for children from infancy through the teen years, including roles as a nanny, babysitter, ESL teacher, special needs tutor, and current preschool program assessor. I am CPR and First Aid certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and conversational in French and Mandarin Chinese. My approach to caregiving is child-led, trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and play-based. I enjoy creating engaging, developmentally supportive experiences through outdoor play, art, reading, healthy cooking, and mindfulness activities. I strive to foster independence, emotional regulation, and a strong sense of safety and belonging in every child I work with. For work-from-home families, I value clear communication and collaboration. I do my best work when trusted to take the lead during scheduled hours, as consistency helps children feel secure and reduces confusion. My goal is always to create a warm, joyful, and supportive environment where your child can thrive.

Greetings lovely family, My name is Amber-Avenira, most people call me Avi :) With over a decade as a live-in & live-out nanny, including many years with a private nanny agency, I have enjoyed learning about a variety of lifestyles and parenting approaches including Montessori, RIE, positive reinforcement and more. With my bag of toys, gentle smile and warm sense of humor I am comfortable and confident in connecting with kids of all ages. And happy to support your family with anything you need. I work part time as a music teacher at a local music school, which keeps my schedule fairly open to continue supporting families as I've enjoyed doing most of my life. My beliefs strongly center around the "It Takes a Village" mindset, and I feel this is more important nowadays than ever before. We aren't meant to raise our families alone, it can really make a difference connecting with another person every now and then. So it is a great honor to be included in your village, even for a day. And my pleasure to be of service to you and your little one(s). I've included a few reviews from families I have worked with in the past. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions at all. I look forward to speaking with you soon! -Avi Heather You are very calm and give my children great attention. You play creatively with them and engage them in activities they're really interested in. . . Of course we want our children to be safe, have fun and be nurtured for who they are. You've been a great fit for that! Emily You treat children with respect and take them seriously, but also have fun with them. You pay attention to them and see them as individuals. Heather + Adam What most stands out is the engagement you had with the various developmental stages and creative needs of our children. We never returned to fussy children...they were always so content. Elisa My kids love you! You’re enthusiastic, kind, fun and you’re reliable. I also appreciate your punctuality. You receive requests and notes in a wonderful way. Kaitlyn You are so engaged and always come ready to play and meet her wherever she is at- happy, sad- you hold space for all of it and I am grateful :)

Hi families, my name is Valentina and I'm 23 years old and I'm from the beautiful country Colombia. I'm studying Foreign Trade because I like to practice English, I'm trying to improve it and I would like to spend time with kids because I think that they're the best teachers! In my free time I love to spend time with my friends and family, also, I love to have time for me and myself just watching TV shows, movies or just resting. I have experience taking care kids because I passed a lot of time with my little sister, my cousins and little neighbors, I took care of them a lot of times and also I did a volunteer in a daycare, I spent a lot of time with babies, I love their innocence and the way that you can win their hearts.
