Looking for someone to fill in those last minute days or nights? Having a hard time finding a long term nanny but need someone else during the search? I’m available! I am a Freelance Film Production Coordinator looking for some part time work. I am the oldest of 7 children and have always been around kids. I worked at a daycare throughout high school and college, and then was a nanny for several years. Currently, I help to take care of my nieces and nephews (aged 3months - 5years) as needed. I am very comfortable and confident with all ages. First Aid and CPR Certified. References available.

Booked by 8 families in North Scituate, MA

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. ”
