Hi there! My name is Grace, and I specialize in infant care, though I truly enjoy working with children at every stage of development. I’m attentive to the unique needs of babies, children, and their families, and I prioritize building strong relationships through open, honest communication. I create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore and grow. I’m also happy to assist with errands, light meal prep, house-sitting, and caring for pets and plants. I take pride in being reliable, warm, and supportive, and I value becoming a trusted, consistent presence in a family’s daily routine. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family!
“I can’t recommend Grace enough! She was our nanny for my daughter and another child for 3 years. She kept the kids busy with walks, activities and outings by car or public transit. My daughter still talks about her days with Grace fondly! From infancy through toddlerhood, Grace was a joy to have in our home, cherished our kids as if they were her own, and truly enjoyed her time with them. Any family will be lucky to have Grace!”

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!
Vivian $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Vivian and I am currently 18 years old as a senior in highschool at Beaver Country Day in Brookline. I have been working with children for many years now. Starting at the age of 11, I became a mothers helper for some of my neighbors. Along side my babysitting jobs, I have had lots of professional experience with children as well. When I turned `13, I became a Conselor in Training at Beaver Summer Camp and for every summer since, I have been a Camp Counselor for campers ages 3-6. Futhermore, when I was 14-16, I volenteered everyday at the Pine Manor Child Study Center as an assistant teacher. This past winter, I also worked as an assistant teacher with children ages 6-9 at the Boston Community Center for Youth and Families. Please feel free to reach out!!
