Booked by 13 families in Peabody, MA

I have worked in child care for 8 years in a variety of places. Most recently I was the assistant director at a YMCA camp and before that I was an after school tutor. Additionally I just graduated from the University of San Francisco. I have had a cat and a dog for most of my life, so your children and animals are safe with me! I believe in safety first and fun is number two. I strive for helping kids learn to be responsible and learning from their environment, but also to make sure that the kids are enjoying their time!

Camille showed up early, kept us informed on her timing and most importantly, developed an amazing rapport with our 5yo daughter, who took to her immediately. We’ll definitely continue working with Camille.

Booked by 3 families in Peabody, MA

Hi- my name is Raianna I’m currently working in a daycare in Marblehead , working with toodlers at the moment. I have experienced taking care of infants toodlers and preschoolers. I really love and enjoy being a babysitter outside of my work hours, I enjoy being with the kiddos, spend time with them, show them new things, and most importantly making them feel safe. Im fluent both in English and Spanish and I’m currently taking Italian lessons. I’m originally from Dominican Republic but I moved to the states at a young age so I would be delighted to teach your kiddos Spanish! I love and also am comfortable with Dogs and Cats. :)

Raianna was great! She was communicative and prompt and was great with our two toddlers. She gracefully handled dinner and bedtime routines for two kids who were not experienced with babysitters. We would recommend her!
