Hello there, families! Here is a bit about myself I am a 26 year old former certified infant and toddler teacher! I have my CPR and First Aid up to date. I have been working with children for the last 11 years outside of the daycare setting. Doing things such as nannying and internships! I have worked in the daycare setting for the last 5 years gaining tons of experience for working with children infants-preschool age. I hope to hear back from you!
Hi! My name is Katie, I’m a 32-year-old professional nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age kids. I’m skilled in managing multiples, nanny shares, and children with behavioral, emotional regulation, or executive functioning challenges. My approach emphasizes connection, autonomy, and play-based learning, and I love tailoring activities to each child’s interests, whether that’s singing, dancing, crafting clay figurines, or exploring fun activities around Boston, Cambridge, and the North Shore. I have done many different kinds of jobs including: long-term (3+ years) short-term, overnight, vacations, and date nights! I hold a Child & Youth Advocacy certificate and Associates in Liberal Arts Psychology from NSCC. I am also currently pursuing my Social Work degree at Salem State University. In addition, I volunteer with the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless and CASA, bringing a strong commitment to supporting children and families both professionally and in the community. Some of my specific strengths include: • Redirection and emotional coaching • Supporting intuitive eating • Managing ADHD and sensory needs • Creating practical systems that support families long-term Thanks Katie
“Katie is our current nanny to our 2.5-year-old twin girls, and she has been a wonderful addition to our family. One of the things we appreciate most about Katie is her knowledge of child development. She is always coming up with fun, age-appropriate activities that help our girls learn and grow while keeping them engaged and excited. She is also incredibly in tune with children's emotions and does a great job helping our daughters work through big feelings with patience, empathy, and understanding. Katie is dependable, caring, and genuinely invested in our girls' well-being and development. We feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to any family.”
Hello, my name is Khaoula and I'm a current psychology student with an interest in pursuing pediatric medicine. I have worked with children for a while now especially during my high school years as I was a regular sitter for a couple of families in my town. The experience has made me fond of the relationship you can build with children, given how they need a reliable connection and mentorship. I love arts and crafts so that's my go-to when entertaining the little ones, my 5-year-old brother included. I am fluent in English, Arabic, and French, I also hold the CPR and first aid certification. If you feel that I may be a good fit for you and your family please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I look forward to speaking and working with you and your children, after all it does take a village.
“Was available last min and showed up happy and played with my daughter till bed time. I would definitely book with her again.”

Hi! My name is Larissa, and I’ve been a nanny for more than 10 years. Caring for children isn’t just a job to me — it’s something I truly love. Being part of a child’s growth, helping them learn, laugh, and feel safe, is incredibly rewarding. Over the years, I’ve worked with children of all ages — from infants to school-aged — and each stage brings something special. I pride myself on being patient, nurturing, and dependable. I create a calm, structured environment where children can thrive, and I work closely with parents to support each child’s individual needs. Whether it’s building forts, reading stories, or helping with routines, I bring a lot of heart and care into everything I do. I’m currently looking for a new family to grow with, and I’d love to find a long-term position where I can be a reliable part of your child’s world. Experience: 10 years of full-time nanny experience with multiple families Experience caring for infants, Twins, toddlers, and school-aged children Long-term positions (2–5 years with the same families) and nanny share. Assisted with developmental milestones, sleep routines, potty training Helped with homeschooling Supported families through transitions like new siblings or moves Skills & Strengths: Strong communication with both parents and children Gentle, consistent discipline and positive reinforcement Meal prep and light housekeeping related to children Homework help and educational play Comfortable managing multiple children at once Creative play (arts & crafts, reading, outdoor activities) Reliable, punctual, and flexible CPR/First Aid certified
