About Esther
Experience: 8 yrs
My name is Esther and I am passionate about caring for children. I am a Certified infant/toddler/preschool teacher, fluent in English and French, and conversational in Spanish. Currently, I work as a Kindergarten Associate Teacher in Somerville, MA. I have experience caring for multiple children at once, having managed up to 10 in my preschool classroom. I am First Aid and CPR certified and graduated from the University of Massachusetts Boston in 2023. In addition to my teaching experience, I have volunteered as a youth basketball and soccer coach and served as an after-school tutor for youth in my community. I enjoy engaging children through reading & developmental games, and I am proficient in preparing meals and managing daily routines. I also have my own transportation. Furthermore My rates vary based on the ages of the children, and distance. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to discuss further! Best, Esther

truly don’t know what I would have done without Esther- she absolutely saved my New Year! I came to Boston with my 3-year-old son, and she kindly agreed to take care of him when I really needed help. My son was absolutely delighted — they played, painted, and had a great time together. He kept asking, “When is the nanny coming back?” which says everything about how much he enjoyed being with her. She is warm, responsible, creative, and genuinely wonderful with children. I will definitely reach out to Esther again next time, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for childcare.
