I am a recent graduate of the University of Massachusetts Amherst with my bachelors degree in horticultural science with a business focus. I have worked with Children in many summer camp settings, including two summers at Amherst recreation as a lead counselor. I have also spent much of my young adult adulthood babysitting, taking care of children from ages 2 to 14. I am currently a afterschool teacher at Baker elementary school working with kids from grades one to six. I am reliable and can do household tasks like laundry, cooking, and basic cleaning.

I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 with nieces, nephews, friends little siblings and even my coaches kids. I have experience ranging from infants all the way to 13 year olds. I can help with homework, cooking food and creating a positive environment for your kids. I’m also pet friendly and have taken care of pets in the past! Outside of urban sitter I’m a full time classroom teacher which has helped me be more concious of creating a safe space and helped me take pride in my work with Restorative Justice practices. I hope to hear from you soon!
Hello I’m Scarlen! I am a Licensed Nursing Assistant at Massachusetts General Hospital and have six years of experience working with children from 7 months to 14 years old. I am fluent in Spanish and passionate about providing safe, attentive, and nurturing care while building positive connections with children and families. I am certified in Basic Life Support (BLS) and CPR, allowing me to respond quickly and responsibly in emergency situations. I bring patience, creativity, and structure to every environment, helping children feel both supported and engaged with. Outside of work and school, I enjoy traveling, nature, and spending time with my younger siblings. I would be happy to get to know you and your family better and provide support in any way you may need.
“Our two little boys loved Scarlen! She was prompt and communicative, very positive and kind with the boys, and she was playful while in control. They took to her instantly and got to bed without issue. She’s a wonderful sitter!”
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.”
As a compassionate caregiver, I provide nurturing support and companionship to both children and seniors. With a genuine dedication to enhancing their well-being, I offer attentive care, fostering a safe and enriching environment tailored to their unique needs. From facilitating activities that promote growth and development to offering assistance with daily tasks, I prioritise comfort happiness and dignity of those under my care. I am a former Au Pair with lots of child care experience who also majored in Early childhood Development.
“Sophie was lovely and she also cleaned our kitchen while kids slept which was so amazing to come home to!”
