About Carrie

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

After a long and rewarding career, I have retired from my professional life and can think of nothing better than to continue my relationships and love of children and their families by caring for your precious babies. I have master's level degrees in general and special education and public school administration. I retired in 2019 as owner/director/therapist of Nantucket Pediatric Therapy Center. I am current with Adult, Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AWD. My thee adult children live on both the east and west coast; Nantucket Island and the SF bay area. A background check and references are available on Care. com. and I am happy to share my resume at your request. My rate is 35-45hr. I hope I have an opportunity to meet you! Carrie

We had the pleasure of working with Carrie from when our baby was 2.5 months old until he was 5.5 months—right up until he started daycare (which we had planned and committed to before even hiring a nanny). From the very beginning, she treated our baby like her own—with so much love, patience, and genuine care. She helped rock him to sleep, played with him when he was awake, and often sang nursery rhymes to him, which he absolutely loved. One of the things I really appreciated was how she taught us about early speech development—like how to talk back to our baby to encourage babbling—and it was the sweetest thing to see him get more talkative and hear him "chatting" with her and having fun. She’s also super observant—she was the first to notice our baby had started teething (way earlier than we expected!), which was so helpful for us as first-time parents. And she’s thoughtful about all the little things, like always washing her hands when she arrived, which we really appreciated. She was always on time, super reliable, and great at communicating. Every day she’d give us a quick, helpful rundown of how things went, and she was always willing to share tips or advice when we had questions. Beyond being an amazing nanny, she brought so much warmth and positive energy into our home. It’s clear she truly loves kids and cares deeply about the people around her. We feel so lucky to have had her support during those early months—and even luckier to now call her a friend.
