Olivia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia and I'm currently a graduate student at Simmons University. I am offering child care and household services. I've worked as a teaching assistant in several elementary schools and have worked specifically with children with special needs. I worked as an assistant teacher in Howell NJ with children preschool-kindergarten and 1st-2nd grade for three summers. I also worked most recently as a teacher's assistant in Easton PA for 2nd grade students, tutoring in reading and math. I worked as a teacher in my local church's Sunday school for four years, working with kids between 3rd-5th grade. I love working with kids of all ages and engaging with them in whatever their interests may be! I can offer tutoring in math, history, reading/writing, art lessons, as well as beginner lessons in Latin and Russian. I love arts and crafts, playing sports (especially tennis and dance), and reading. I'm available for household services such as cleaning, running errands, and laundry.

Georgia $30 per hour for 1 child

Nannied for a family of 4 (full-time) for 15 years. Overnight, Vacations and Daily care. I use a variety of different child-care philosophies (e.g. RIE, attachement, gentle care giving) I would say I am most aligned with “holistic” care-giving. Dependent of what each persons specific needs are. Meeting peoples emotional needs and watching them thrive is a great joy of mine. Full spectrum doula. Newborn and Night Nanny. Confident in gentle sleep training. (not crying it out) I’ve been involved in the homeschool/unschooling community for 15+ years. I have a degree in psychology, specifically behavior modification, and feel confident giving care to anyone with low-moderate needs. I am also a certified yoga teacher and was a lifeguard for many years. I am experienced in light household chores as well as having deep roots in nutrition, specifically anti-inflammatory diets. My personality is generally relaxed but I am fiercely loyal to the children in my care, meaning I need to work with a family that also views their child/children as complete people and treats them with respect. :) Also I appreciate adults who can be forward and up front about their boundaries and what they want from a caregiver.

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!
