Booked by 8 families in Norwell, 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. ”

Christine 3 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Norwell, MA

My name is Christinei. I am a professional educator over 41 years now and have been a nanny for about 22 of those. This was the best decision I made ever. I like the one on one care it provides for the child(ren) and the whole family, including pets. Each child is an individual and needs to be heard and learns differently and this as an educator is where I learn from them. My expertise is in newborn/infant/toddler care but I also love to prepare your child for preschool and readiness for group learning environments. I teach through all experiences and will help the new parent “see” each developmental level their child has experienced and help achieve the next level with proper fun experiences - yes a three month old can “read” a favorite book! I look forward to becoming part of your child’s team - that includes the love of the family pet!

“Christine first joined our network about 8 years ago as we became new parents. We needed help a few days a week as I (mama) worked from home. She very much followed my lead, allowed me to have my time with my newborn sitting back and chatting and sharing little tidbits that became so helpful when navigating new parenthood - but when I needed to step away and dive into work-focus, she was able to keep space and handle whatever was happening. Her specialized education in language development quickly became apparent. She would have the most delightful conversations with our infant, and then focus in on age appropriate sounds for language development. They were soon chatting for hours while working with playdoh and doing art. It was a joy to see. When I had to work out of the house, I always came home to a journal review of food, activities, new language development, and all the things a new parent wants to be up to speed on. She bubbled up with us during the pandemic while I was pregnant with our second baby, she was with us full time - allowing us bonding time with our new baby and keeping our toddler engaged and with a routine that could be as consistent as possible during uncertain times. She also brought our lovable dog and cat into her “classroom routines”. She is what we call our “Forever Nanny” - we still consistently use her for date nights, weekends away — and we’ve even gone out of the country for 5 days and left our most loved beings (kids and pets) in the care of Christine. She also takes our fur-babies for us if needed, and she shows up for all the dance recitals and birthday parties. Christine makes learning fun for the kiddos and knows how to set boundaries. She is open to shifting style, depending on family philosophy, but she is also confident enough to offer a different perspective if appropriate. She sets a daily routine consisting of all the normal things (eating, diapering/bathroom) + art (she’s a wonderful and fun artist - it’s one of our kids’ favorite things to do with her), reading, writing, math, gross motor skills, neighborhood adventures, music (I’m probably forgetting others) - but it’s fun and balanced! Christine is a gem.”
