Mother, School Teacher, Yoga Teacher, and NannyAvailable for full days on Thursday & Friday, and occasional sitting all days. Hello! I’ve been a babysitter, a nanny, a teacher, and a school administrator. I’m the mom of an inspiring teenager, who teaches me an innumerable amount of lessons about raising children. Working with children and in education has been a drive of mine since I was a kid myself. I started babysitting at 13, in the 90’s (can you believe we let 13 year olds do that back then?!). I taught elementary level at an afterschool and summer school program throughout undergraduate. I nannied for several families, including one family for five years. I left that job to start my own family, focusing more on freelance writing while I raised my child. I’ve continued to write while working as a preschool teacher, and then tutor recruitment and training coordinator for a DESE school.I also studied in the Critical and Creative Thinking graduate program at UMASS Boston for two semesters, to be continued. CCT focuses on learning and applying ideas and tools in critical thinking, creative thinking, and reflective practice. It applies very well to childcare and has helped me build valuable insight and skills.Additionally, I am an RYT200 yoga teacher, with 90 hours of youth yoga teacher training, and trauma-informed. So if the kids are interested in yoga, exercise, or meditation, I’m happy to share what I know! Even if the kids aren’t into yoga, this training gave mea better understanding of child development. I have a driver’s license, but do not own a car. However, I do own a Yuba cargo bike with room for two children and 4 grocery bags, with 18 years of bike commuter experience!

Hi! My name is Carolina, and I’m a college student at Syracuse University with several years of experience working with children. Alongside babysitting, I’ve spent multiple summers working as a sleepaway camp counselor, where I supervised campers, led activities and tennis lessons, helped manage daily routines, and made sure everyone felt safe, included, and supported.I’m responsible, energetic, patient, and comfortable caring for kids of different ages and personalities. My camp experience has taught me how to handle everything from keeping kids entertained to resolving conflicts and managing busy schedules. I’m also CPR certified and understand how important it is for parents to feel confident that their children are in safe and reliable hands.I love working with kids and would be happy to help with babysitting, homework, activities, meals, bedtime routines, or just keeping everyone entertained!
