Hi! My name is Juliette, and I’m a Psychology major at Boston College. I am originally from California. I’ve always loved working with children. I grew up babysitting for my neighbors. In high school, I ran an afterschool art program for 1st–4th graders, helping students express themselves and build confidence through creativity was a truly rewarding experience. I’m patient, dependable, and active, and I enjoy engaging kids through play, crafts, and reading. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and positive environment where children can thrive. I also love to cook and bake, am happy to help with homework and household tasks, and I’m comfortable caring for pets as well.
I have years of experience babysitting kids, from babies through 12 years old, and I raised two puppies until their old age, so I’m comfortable with dogs. I feel my greatest strengths are love for children, being trustworthy, reliable, and safety-minded, which includes CPR training. I can also do overnight babysitting or housesitting.
My name is Xenia. I believe in catering to a child's emotional and intellectual needs. I believe in explaining the reason for things versus telling a child "No". Instead, I will tell a child, "That's not something we put in our mouth because it's not food. We only put food and medicine in our mouth." In that way, the child is able to make the connection in its brain in a healthy and productive manner instead of bringing fear and rejection to the child. I love cats and dogs. I am open to babysit children, your fur babies, and perform light domestic work.
