Hi! My name is Katie, I’m a 32-year-old professional nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age kids. I’m skilled in managing multiples, nanny shares, and children with behavioral, emotional regulation, or executive functioning challenges. My approach emphasizes connection, autonomy, and play-based learning, and I love tailoring activities to each child’s interests, whether that’s singing, dancing, crafting clay figurines, or exploring fun activities around Boston, Cambridge, and the North Shore. I have done many different kinds of jobs including: long-term (3+ years) short-term, overnight, vacations, and date nights! I hold a Child & Youth Advocacy certificate and Associates in Liberal Arts Psychology from NSCC. I am also currently pursuing my Social Work degree at Salem State University. In addition, I volunteer with the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless and CASA, bringing a strong commitment to supporting children and families both professionally and in the community. Some of my specific strengths include: • Redirection and emotional coaching • Supporting intuitive eating • Managing ADHD and sensory needs • Creating practical systems that support families long-term Thanks Katie

Katie is our current nanny to our 2.5-year-old twin girls, and she has been a wonderful addition to our family. One of the things we appreciate most about Katie is her knowledge of child development. She is always coming up with fun, age-appropriate activities that help our girls learn and grow while keeping them engaged and excited. She is also incredibly in tune with children's emotions and does a great job helping our daughters work through big feelings with patience, empathy, and understanding. Katie is dependable, caring, and genuinely invested in our girls' well-being and development. We feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to any family.

Hello, my name is Khaoula and I'm a current psychology student with an interest in pursuing pediatric medicine. I have worked with children for a while now especially during my high school years as I was a regular sitter for a couple of families in my town. The experience has made me fond of the relationship you can build with children, given how they need a reliable connection and mentorship. I love arts and crafts so that's my go-to when entertaining the little ones, my 5-year-old brother included. I am fluent in English, Arabic, and French, I also hold the CPR and first aid certification. If you feel that I may be a good fit for you and your family please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I look forward to speaking and working with you and your children, after all it does take a village.

Was available last min and showed up happy and played with my daughter till bed time. I would definitely book with her again.

I am very comfortable and confident with all ages. First Aid and CPR Certified. References available.

Kayla was great with both kids. My 4 year old loved talking with her and she had my 2 year old smiling and giggling. We will definitely have her back!
