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.
“Astrid was great with my son. He was comfortable with her right away. She took him to the park and got him to bed without a problem. ”
I work in education and grew up with dogs in my family. Since high school and college, I have been dog/pet sitting for different families. I have experience with all different sizes and breeds of dogs all the way from a yorkie to a mastiff. I am adaptable to meet the needs of the pet and care for the pet like they are my own. I am comfortable staying with the pet or doing drop ins. My schedule fluctuates but can be adaptable.
“So appreciate Lucas for his attentiveness while my pup was under the weather and flexibility as my travel plans got derailed!”
Hi, I’m Zoe! I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable babysitter with experience working with children with special needs, coaching basketball, and teaching cheerleading to young children. I’m patient, energetic, and enjoy creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment. I can help bedtime routines while following each child’s individual needs. Families can count on me to keep their children engaged, comfortable, and well cared for.
Hello! I’m Jordan and I have been working in childcare since 2015. I went to a tech high school and got my preschool certification there and then went on to a community college and got certified with working with infants and toddlers. Working with children is my passion and it fills my heart with so much joy! I’m patient, loving, a big kid at heart, and give my all with everything that I do. I am mainly looking for night care and occasional date nights. I look forward to meeting you!
Hello, I am Maliyah. I am 20 years old. I just moved to massachusetts in early November of 2025. I am originally from new york. I worked as a teaching assistant back in New york.
