I’m a mature, organized, local with deep roots on the South Shore. From childcare to pet care, errands, meal prep, and elder companion visits, I take pride in making life easier for busy households and neighbors. Why Work With Me: • Hingham resident for over 25 years • Experienced mom of two grown kids • Warm, dependable, and trustworthy • Former certified nurse’s aide (past nursing home experience)

Belinda was extremely professional and energetic. She ran all over town and showed my 2 kids a wonderful, fun time while they were visiting. I really appreciate her spirit and experience! Looking forward to working with you again!

Booked by 8 families in Halifax, 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.
