Hello! My name is Abby and Im a 2nd grade teacher! I currently live in Medford. I did a lot of sitting as a teen, especially when I was going into teaching. I worked at Lowell catholic elementary as a spanish and art teacher along with assisting with the extended day program. I also was a preschool summer school teacher preparing kids with "kindergarten readiness." | worked with a lot of age groups ranging from infant-12. I worked at lowell general as a pediatric/ mother infant patient care technician while I'm in nursing school. I have a lot of experience with kids and absolutely adore working with them and providing the care that they need! I am also CPR certified! I also have dogs at home and am very comfortable with pets!

Bilingual (English–Spanish) caregiver with over 8 years of experience nurturing and educating children from infancy through school age. I bring 3–5 years of hands-on care for infants and 5–10 years supporting toddlers and school-aged children in their daily routines, development, and learning. Former Au Pair with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and CPR certification for children, I am known for creating safe, structured, and engaging environments where children can thrive. My approach blends respect, discipline, and positive behavior reinforcement, helping children build confidence and independence while learning through play, creativity, and exploration. Gifted in dancing, painting, and acting, I integrate art and movement into daily activities to encourage imagination, coordination, and emotional expression. Families appreciate my warm, responsible nature and my ability to form strong, trusting relationships based on open communication and care.
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 :)
I’m a kind, caring, and extroverted sitter who loves creating a safe and supportive environment where kids can feel comfortable being themselves. I have experience working with children through babysitting family members, volunteering in an elementary school, and completing a semester-long teaching experience with 5th-grade students. I currently volunteer weekly with kindergarteners in an afterschool program and assist in 5th/6th-grade science classrooms. I’m patient, dependable, and very comfortable communicating with kids. I enjoy taking the time to listen to children and help them put their thoughts, feelings, and needs into words in a respectful way. I love playing games, getting creative, and keeping kids engaged, and I truly don’t mind watching the same movie or listening to the same song for the hundredth time! I’m also BLS/CPR certified for infants, children, and adults, bilingual in Spanish, and happy to help with homework, tutoring, meals, and school pickup/walking home.
