Cambridge Child Care

Hello! I'm Kinsey, a certified English teacher spending the school year working in China teaching Primary-level students. I have had 8+ years of experience in childcare and a lifetime of experience caring for animals. I'm a dedicated and compassionate person who loves helping others!

I have six years' experience as a professional babysitter/nanny, both part-time and full-time and two years experience as a daycare teacher with infants and toddlers. This has been a very positive experience for myself, the babies, children and their parents. While I truly enjoy taking care of children and keeping them happy, my priority is always safety. I have a lot of patience and I know how to have fun with them. It gives me joy to be involved in each child's growth and development.

I'm a young professional working towards a Masters degree in health care in the Boston area. I have been caring for children for 6+ years ages ranging from about 6 months to 12 years. I have had experience, and am comfortable caring for lots of children at once and would be happy to care for children outside of the age range I have provided for before. I've provided swim instruction, transportation, help with school work, and preparing meals. I also have experience as a personal care provider for a 10-year-old boy with severe autism.

Hello! My name is Donna, my interests in Child Care are to stimulate young minds and encourage independent thinking and self-discovery. I believe it is also important to build positive, engaging environments and design creative activities for children of all ages to learn about themselves and grow more confident in their individual abilities. I have worked in Child Care as a teenager and professionally as an adult; accumulatively for approximately 20 years with children of all ages, ranging from infancy to 13 years. Other duties have included pick-ups/drop-offs, errands, cooking, tidying up, laundry, etc.. I am also certified in First Aid and CPR. In addition to Child-Care, I have also run an independently-contracted Pet Care company since 2014. Thank you for reading my profile, and have a lovely day! Best, Donna

I have many years of experience with children. I went to overnight summer camp for 8 years and in my final year, I was a counselor-in-training. I worked with kids ranging from 5-15 and children with special needs. I set and served 3 meals a day for a table of 30 7-year-old boys for 8 weeks straight. I lead activities and fun things to do during the day for the campers as well. I also went to a k-12 school where I spent a lot of time mentoring and tutoring younger students when I was in high school as an AP/Honor student. As a senior, I did an internship at a preschool/kindergarten where I had my background checked. There I also did story time with toddlers and their mothers. My partner has two kids as well who are 3 and 6 that I see every other weekend and help watch, so I have a lot of experience with kids. I have completed a semester of college, going into psychology but I am taking a semester off so I can transfer. I have also done all-weekend babysitting with children.

Hello! My Name is Brooke and I work at EF Educational First and I am looking for a part time babysitting job for either in the mornings before 9, after 5:30 or on the weekends. I am originally from Las Vegas, Nevada and had the opportunity to play beach volleyball for the University of Hawaii for four years. Well living in Hawaii I had the opportunity to nanny for an amazing family that had three boys who's ages ranged from 4-11. I moved to Boston about a year and a half ago and I'm looking to find an amazing family to help out. I am a fan of arts and crafts and anything that has to do with being outside! I can help with homework and anything else your family might need. I am new to care. com but have plenty experience and hopefully I can help.

Hello! My name is Nora and I am currently a senior at Cambridge Rindge and Latin. I will be attending Lesley University next year to double major in Secondary Special Education, and Psychology, and a minor in Math. I have taken three years of American Sign Language at my high school and will be taking the fluency test soon. I have been babysitting since the age of 9 years old for my twin neighbors who were 5 years old at the time, and outside of caring for my three cats I have been cat sitting for five years. Outside of babysitting and cat/dog sitting, I worked at Bertuccis for a year, and Gymnastics Academy of Boston-Cambridge for two years. I am a super energetic kind teenager and would love to meet you and your family.

Hello, my name is Ashley and I am a native and current resident from Cambridge, Massachusetts. Back in May, I graduated from Clark University with my bachelor's degree in Psychology. Currently, I am attending Boston College pursuing my Master's in Social Work. Coming from a large extended family, I have had plenty of years of experience providing child care to my younger cousins. While in high school, I worked in the school day care serving as a teacher assistant. During my undergrad years, I worked at the YMCA in Worcester. Also I worked at the Family Resource Center in Worcester and administered child care services while the parents attended workshops. This past summer, I provided weekly child watch for my camp youth as their parents participated in training. For three consecutive years, I worked as a camp counselor at Haggerty in Cambridge, Mass. I thoroughly enjoy engaging in craft activities with children, playing outside, doing puzzles and reading.

I am a university undergrad (psychology) working with an awesome family during weekdays, right now I'm looking for new opportunities to improve my experience within the newborn/baby realm. I have experience with children ages newborn to 12 years old, I usually work with families as a team member focusing on how I can help with their child development &parenting in a constructive way so all can thrive. I am a Portuguese native speaker, my English is considered advanced and my Spanish is basic. I'm a leader with domestic workers- a non-profit that acts in Massachusetts, I'm a member of INA (International Nanny Association) and have the certifications required to provide great care to your precious baby (see profile), and I'm always looking for opportunities to improve myself and my nanny skills. I am open to feedback as much as I'm open to giving feedback when asked. I appreciate good communication, reliability, trust, and love.

The Preschool Social Academy offers a professionally designed, thematic curriculum; complete with lesson plans, assessments, portfolios and newsletters for parents to use as a guide.

Children learn through hands on play and structured activities in our well organized learning centers. Our classroom is organized into "learning environments." These are the places within our classroom where the children can find the toys and materials related by theme, interest, and skills. These activities and toys can be used independently by the children, socially with others, or with teacher direction, to reinforce and enrich skills and concepts they need. Learning environments are an excellent way to individualize the curriculum to meet the varying needs of young children.

My program is a small, mixed-age group, and we all become very attached to each other--it really is very much like a family. I am located in Boston, close to the Longwood Medical Area. I have a well-equipped home with three levels of interesting space and a small backyard. We also have a wagon-for-six for trips around the neighborhood, and a minivan filled with car seats (and with a triple stroller folded up in back) for field trips to the zoo, the science museum, and other cool places around Boston. The mixed-age grouping contributes to a cooperative rather than a competitive environment--it's the norm to have a different skill level, since children are different ages, and your friends will just naturally offer to help if you don't know how to do something.

The curriculum is child-centered and play-based, by which I mean that I guide activities mostly by preparing the environment and selecting the playthings. Then I let the children engage in play and discovery. I'm here to model appropriate behavior, set limits, read books, add or subtract materials, keep everybody clean, fed, safe, and loved, and generally keep things moving smoothly. We have a wonderful time!

I have three major goals for the children in my group: positive self-concept, social skills, and language skills. If you are confident and excited about your world and your ideas, know how to make and keep friends, and communicate well, you are well on your way to academic and personal success.

I am licensed for six children, but prefer to have a group of four or five per day, depending on the ages of the children. I sometimes do have six children, when alumni come to visit or when I simply can't work out the schedule any other way. Children typically start the program at age one and continue until age four or five.

I try to provide everything so that parents don't have to pack a huge bag each day. Food, diapers, and field trip expenses are all included in the daily rate--there are no extra charges. I serve a lacto-ovo-vegetarian menu. There are lots of pets--turtle, geckos, fish--which provide a wonderful anchor for the science curriculum, since they all need different food and different environments. We also do things like hatching chicken eggs, planting seeds, making collections of pine cones and other natural objects. A dog and two cats live in the house, and petting and playing with them contribute a lot of comfort and interest. Two openings for 9/20.

SolBe is an early learning center that re-imagines traditional notions of child care and nursery school. Our name defines our purpose: "sol" from the Spanish word meaning sun and the English word "be", combining into a name meaning "to be full of light". Learning is not the filling of a cup, but the lighting of a fire.

We aim to create the highest quality early learning experiences through a seed-to-table nutrition program, thoughtfully designed facilities, especially-trained-for-this-work educators, and a school culture influenced by the Reggio Emilia approach integrated with Spanish immersion.

Your wellness and the wellness of your child shouldn't be a question of either/or. SolBe is an early learning center committed to yes/and. Our dynamic program continually adapts and improves as we nurture healthy, engaged lives for children and adults.

The SolBe educational philosophy is heavily influenced by the Reggio Emilia approach; we believe children to be competent and capable citizens of our society. As such, we are careful to craft experiences and learning opportunities based on what we observe about children. We constantly look for opportunities to scaffold children s learning, which encourages them to be active participants in their learning experiences. This means allowing children the freedom to play and explore on their own accord, and the educator taking a role as a guide instead of the traditional gatekeeper of knowledge.

Our educational philosophy also encompasses best practices related to language immersion education. We are a Spanish language immersion program, which means that our day-to-day activities happen in Spanish. We value bilingual learning- and the cognitive and social emotional benefits which bilingualism promotes.

Attention has been paid to the interactions between the physical learning environment and children, as well as how the environment impacts the interactions between educators and children. Our spaces have been intentionally designed to shift to the changing needs and emotions of the humans who use them. We re inspired by the Montessori method and its attention to beautiful home-like environments, which is reflected in our design.

Our seed-to-table nutrition program is another element of our educational philosophy. Research shows that when children are active participants in the growing and preparation of their food, they are more likely to try, and enjoy, new foods. Children participate in a food preparation task daily.
