Find a last-minute babysitter in Cambridge, MA

Hi families! My name is Astrid. I began my childcare journey at just 19 years old. I helped out as an assistant teacher in my mother Montessori daycare for 5 years. I then went on to be a career nanny with a 4 year gap starting in 2020 due to the pandemic. In my years of being a nanny, I have taken several college courses in child psychology and development. My approach to child care is heavily influenced by the Montessori philosophy, letting the child’s mind guide me into caring for them. I have extensive experience with children from 3 months old to 6 years old. I am passionate about what I do and would love an opportunity to prove it to you.

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!
