Booked by 2 families in Salem, MA

My name is Clara . I am currently a Teacher’s Assistant for toddlers and infants. I have worked in this field for a year now and I am working full time. In addition to working full time, I am a student at Bunker Hill Community college. By the end of this semester, I will receive my certificate in early education. I am looking for a part-time job where I can continue working with the kiddos and learn, hoping to gain enough experience to become a lead teacher and have my own classroom in the future. I have several certifications such as -First Aid/ C.P.R , Safe Sleeping Practices, Emergency Response and Medication Administration. Thank you for considering me to take care of your kiddos! Clara

Hi! My name is Amanda, and I have extensive dog care experience. Having grown up with a lab/hound mix, and caring for friends' and family's pets since, I am comfortable and familiar with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I love taking dogs for long walks, giving them treats, and making sure they are safe and having fun at all times!

Andrea 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am an experienced, multilingual and licensed educator, with over 20 years of experience. I offer childcare, tutoring, pet and elderly care. I excel at working with neurodiverse individuals, children and teens.

“Andrea has always been wonderful with my girls (ages 3 and 5). She brings the very best of herself, as both a mom and an educator, to the time she spends with them, always doing arts and crafts, science experiments, and reading books. She is warm, loving, and also able to navigate their nonsense with firm kindness. Ever since my youngest daughter was tiny, there were times when Andrea was the only person I could trust to calm her when she was experiencing separation anxiety and inconsolable. Andrea is a gem!”

Booked by 1 family in Salem, MA

Hi families! I’m a former au pair and professional nanny of 4 years. I have 900+ verified hours as a volunteer at a daycare in South Africa. I’m a quick learner and can easily adapt to new routines and responsibilities. I do have a valid driver’s license with driving experience in all weather conditions and different car types. I am comfortable around small dogs and friendly cats. I am comfortable with light house cleaning(light sweeping, dishes, light laundry, tidying up) and can assist with homework. I am a bit silly and fun but always within reason. If needed I can whip up quick meals too!

Zaineb $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! By day, I work in tech, but I’ve never stopped missing spending time with kids. In college, I babysat, tutored, and coached a girls’ soccer team, and I also spent a summer as a camp counselor. I’m still in touch with some of those families today, which means so much to me. I love getting to know each kid’s personality, cheering them on, and being a good mentor — and a little bit of an older sister, too. I’m happy to help with homework, explore the city, do crafts, play games, or wind down with a calm bedtime routine. I’d love to get to know your family and hopefully become someone your kids look forward to spending time with!
