Elyza Sharai
Hello! My name is Sharai and I am a kid-loving care giver, artist and educator! I have experience working with infants to teenagers, and have continued my passion of caring for kids and fostering their growth and knowledge both in an outside the classroom. With kids I love being active, doing art and imaginative play, and outside of work I love to ride my bike, read and bake.

Veronica
Hello, my name is Veronica! I am excited to help you accomplish your goals whether it’s going to church, running errands, going to school, by lending a helping hand in watching your child. I have a lot of experience working with children from being a substitute teacher, working as an after school care assistant, being a camp counselor, and volunteering for Special Olympics and Best Buddies. I am currently a senior at Merrimack College aspiring to become an Elementary School Teacher. Therefore, in addition to my work and volunteer experiences, I have observed classrooms in the Merrimack Valley for nearly 100 hours! Working with children is my passion. Whenever there is an opportunity to help children learn and grow, I am the person to call on. I am responsible and an effective communicator. I can’t wait to serve you and your child!

Lorein
Hi! My name is Lorein , and I’m a warm, dependable toddler teacher with several years of hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers. I absolutely love working with young children during these important early stages of development, and I focus on creating a nurturing, calm, and stimulating environment that supports their growth and milestones. I’m fluent in Spanish and happy to incorporate language learning into playtime, reading, and daily routines if that’s something your family values. Whether I’m soothing a newborn, managing nap schedules, introducing sensory play, or helping a toddler build confidence and independence, I approach each day with patience, love, and attention to detail. Parents I’ve worked with often describe me as trustworthy, gentle, and highly communicative. I’m also CPR/First Aid certified or have other relevant credentials

Maia
I have limited but meaningful, informal childcare experience, including babysitting a coworker’s three-year-old child. Through this, I’ve developed basic skills in supervision, safety, communication, and age-appropriate care. I am currently enrolled in an EMT course, which is strengthening my responsibility, situational awareness, and ability to remain calm in dynamic environments. I am eager to gain additional hands-on experience working with children and to continue building skills in caregiving, safety, and support.

Yuleydys
I worked with students one-on-one in an after-school program and helped them with their home-works. I had them try it on their own afterwards, so that they understand the material without any help. Also, I was teaching children how to swim and be able to learn how to be safe with the water. I had a lot of private lessons with kids that had disabilities, which helped me focus on them more. This made it was easier to notice their growth individually. Lastly, I’ve helped with my grandmother with her daycare. I mostly made sure the kids were fed fully and well-rested.

Hi! My name is Grace and I’m a senior nursing student at Northeastern University. I’ve completed Pediatric and Maternity clinicals and currently help in a middle school health office doing school-nurse triage, caring for students with minor injuries and illnesses. I’m CPR certified, great with pets, and have babysitting experience with a sweet 3-year-old girl — including school pick-ups and in-home care in a house with both a dog and a cat. I’m patient, reliable, and love creating a fun and safe environment for kids of all ages. Excited to meet your family!

Emily
Hi! I’m an energetic soul who loves music and crafts. I approach children with compassion and understanding, though I will not hesitate to put my foot down when it comes to safety. I love encouraging movement and creativity, I find they are the best ways to promote independence, confidence, problem-solving, and connection while releasing their energy in a positive way! I’ve worked in schools with children ages 1 to 7 and am finishing up my associates degree in elementary education in the fall.
