About Gemma

Experience: 8 yrs

Hi! My name is Gemma and I am a graduate student pursuing a Masters in Library Science at Simmons University with the goal of becoming a children's librarian. I am looking for a new part time role (~30 hours per week) as my current nanny family is moving. In my prior nanny roles, I have experience coordinating school drop offs and pick ups, early literacy instruction, group enrichment classes, socialization, and outings to parks, museums, and the aquarium. Prior to nannying, I was an Assistant Director at a summer camp in Cambridge, and I have worked at camps with elementary aged children since I was 16. ( I like to think I still bring camp counselor energy to my nanny/babysitting gigs.) I am a firm believer in the early development of literacy and social skills in young children and toddlers. I think treating kids with respect and trust is incredibly important for their development, and would love to work with a family who shares this mindset.

Hiring Gemma is one of the best decisions we have ever made for our family. Gemma was my daughter's full-time nanny for over a year before we needed to relocate. She was easy to be around, extraordinarily reliable, and (most importantly) unbelievably attentive to my daughter's needs. My daughter thrived while working with Gemma--her language skills exploded during that time, which we attribute in large part to Gemma's deep love of books and learning. We also feel so grateful that Gemma imparted her sense of humor, kindness, and caring to our girl. We miss Gemma very much and would have loved to continue to working with her had we stayed in the area.
