My name is Meryem. I am a doctoral student and professional babysitter with several years of experience caring for children of all ages. I am passionate about early childhood education and love creating a safe, engaging, and fun environment for children to learn and grow. I am CPR/ First Aid certified.
I’ve worked as a pre-k teacher for the past 4 1/2 years, frequently babysit and used to have 2 nannying jobs. I’m pretty decent with special needs kids and have worked with them before. I have been CORI checked, have no criminal background and am CPR, First aid and teacher certified. I’m playful and creative with children and encourage learning, boundaries, playing pretend, creativeness, and just fun all around! I am experienced, ambitious, organized, a good listener, / great rule/boundary follower, and kind, respectful, accommodating, outgoing and energetic. I’ve mainly only watched children but have also watched pets before. I have no experience watching seniors but am willing to learn and do it. I’ve also never house-sat but am again, willing to and am very responsible and great at cleaning and taking care of things and keeping it in check. I have a background with psychology and social work from college so I’m very good at reading children’s heads and understanding their personalities. I am also very protective of them because of my schooling in social work so I know how to watch and take care of them. I am currently going to college for nursing and am doing multiple interviews for more teaching positions at other schools because I recently got laid off because there was too many staff members.
hello! my name is Ava i am 21 years old I am studying special education at Bridgewater state university. I also worked at a day care called pathways for children for 5 years. as well as other daycares after that. I have a ton of experience and it is also my passion! I love child care and I can provide child care,house cleaning,cooking as well as pet watching.
Hi my name is Cristina, I have a lot of personal experience with taking care of people such as my grandmother and my nieces, I also was a camp counselor for DARTS a camp run by the Boston symphony orchestra where I shared my passion for the performing arts and helped the campers use their creativity to put on plays, create dance choreographies and so much more, when it’s not cold or rainy outside I also like to go on fun adventures to new exciting places around Boston :)
Hi there! By day, I work in tech, but I’ve never stopped missing spending time with kids. In college, I babysat, tutored, and coached a girls’ soccer team, and I also spent a summer as a camp counselor. I’m still in touch with some of those families today, which means so much to me. I love getting to know each kid’s personality, cheering them on, and being a good mentor — and a little bit of an older sister, too. I’m happy to help with homework, explore the city, do crafts, play games, or wind down with a calm bedtime routine. I’d love to get to know your family and hopefully become someone your kids look forward to spending time with!
