Booked by 3 families in Norfolk, MA
Hi there! My name is Grace, and I specialize in infant care, though I truly enjoy working with children at every stage of development. I’m attentive to the unique needs of babies, children, and their families, and I prioritize building strong relationships through open, honest communication. I create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore and grow. I’m also happy to assist with errands, light meal prep, house-sitting, and caring for pets and plants. I take pride in being reliable, warm, and supportive, and I value becoming a trusted, consistent presence in a family’s daily routine. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family!
“I can’t recommend Grace enough! She was our nanny for my daughter and another child for 3 years. She kept the kids busy with walks, activities and outings by car or public transit. My daughter still talks about her days with Grace fondly! From infancy through toddlerhood, Grace was a joy to have in our home, cherished our kids as if they were her own, and truly enjoyed her time with them. Any family will be lucky to have Grace!”

Hi! My name is Camila and I’m currently living in Framingham as an au pair. I offer childcare, senior care, and household support services. I truly enjoy working with children and have been babysitting since high school — including experience caring for twins. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups and drop-offs, arts and crafts, tutoring, meal prep, bath and bedtime routines, and children’s laundry. I love creating a calm, fun, and safe environment where kids feel supported and engaged. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, organizing, and running errands. I also have experience in senior care. I was a caregiver for my own grandmother and I am confident supporting daily routines such as meal preparation, transportation to medical appointments, companionship, and household tasks. I am comfortable working in homes with cats and dogs. 🔹 Availability: Weekends 🔹 Languages: Fluent in English and Spanish (happy to support bilingual learning!) I look forward to connecting with a family who values kindness, reliability, and open communication!
