Hi there! I am the mom of 2 high school kids. I have a Masters in Secondary Education, and during the school year, I run my own math tutoring business, from elementary to high school students. I have 8 years experience as an art and science teacher. I am working part-time as a nanny for infants and small children. I have a lot of experience with infants and toddlers. I am an active and attentive caregiver: I sing to, read to, play with, teach, and comfort the infants/kids I nanny. I participated with my own kids in coop preschool. I still incorporate what I learned in preschool into my tutoring and nanny work: encouraging positive behavior, calmly setting limits, asking children questions, and really listening to children. I enjoy being around kids. I am a swimmer, outdoor enthusiast (hiking, biking and bird watching), and enjoy spending time with my family outdoors.
“Greta was an absolute lifesaver for our family. After working with multiple sitters and nannies, I can confidently say she was by far the best. She consistently went above and beyond, especially in caring for our daughter, who has special requirements. Greta and our daughter quickly became best friends—she was always excited when Greta came by. Greta supported us tremendously as new parents, offering thoughtful tips and advice when asked, and truly became part of our family. Even during our daughter’s “stranger danger” phase, Greta was someone she trusted and adored when others couldn’t calm her. We will absolutely continue to use Greta in the future and highly recommend her.”
Hi! My name is Shamsa, and I am a childcare professional with over four years of experience working with infants and young children in licensed childcare settings, Bright Horizons. I bring a strong foundation in child development, structured routines, and creating calm, engaging environments where children feel safe and supported.

I have experience in inclusive settings, including supporting children on the autism spectrum. I provide consistent, detailed updates so families feel informed, reassured, and connected throughout the day. I am CPR and First Aid certified, reliable, and available am fully vaccinated. (Dedicated to providing consistent, reliable care families can depend on.)

✨ Hello, nice to meet you ✨ My name is Mabel and I have over 6 years of experience working with children from 2 months to 14 years old. During this time, I’ve had the joy of supporting their growth, guiding their development, and creating a safe and loving environment for them. I consider myself a responsible, kind, and patient person who always strives to ensure children feel cared for, happy, and encouraged at every stage of their lives. I enjoy planning creative, educational, and fun activities that nurture learning while also giving parents peace of mind. For me, being a nanny is not just a job – it’s a true commitment to each family and to the well-being of their little ones. 💛

"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!"
