Hi there! I'm Allie, and I'm a Boston-based college professor and professional actor. I’m currently on summer break and available for short-term childcare opportunities! A bit about me—I moved to Boston to pursue my MFA in Theatre Education at Emerson College, but before that I lived in New York City, where I worked as a full-time nanny (and professional actor!). I have over ten years of childcare and children's education experience, and I'd love to meet you and your family. As a babysitter, I understand that every child and family is unique. I specialize in working with school-age children, children with severe allergies, children of LGBTQ+ families, high net worth families, and children with extra support needs (Prader-Willi syndrome, autism, ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety disorder, mood regulation disorder). I work carefully with parents to create a customized care plan to help their children thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. And as a professional actor, I also love to have fun and encourage imaginative play! My full resume and references are available upon request. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

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.

Hello! My name is Megan and I have a PhD in Child Clinical Psychology. I am new to the Boston area and would love to connect with a few families for date night / weekend babysitting. I have 15+ years experience babysitting kids 6 months and older. I'm a positive, reliable, and flexible person. I've fostered many incredible relationships with families over the years and would love the chance to meet yours!

I have several years of experience providing reliable babysitting, cat sitting, and house sitting services. My passion for working with children led me to spend this past summer at a daycare clinic, where I gained valuable experience caring for children with autism. This opportunity deepened my understanding of children’s unique needs and reinforced my commitment to fostering a safe, nurturing environment for them. I will always do everything in my power to ensure both children and parents feel comfortable and confident in my care.
