About Colleen
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have been working with children of all ages for over 30 years! I have experience with newborns, infants-toddlers, preschoolers and elementary aged children. I have also worked as a babysitter for a child with autism for many years. Most recently, I worked as a teacher and then director of a preschool, where I was employed for 15 years until the school closed in June of 2014. I also have vast experience as a nanny for preschool-aged children, infants and toddlers. I am dedicated to fostering the cognitive, social-emotional, and physical development of young children.

Colleen was recommended to us for her nannying skills but, unfortunately for us, she was already employed elsewhere. Despite this, she was wonderfully helpful in helping us find a nanny and now does regular date night babysitting of our toddler. Not only does our little one enjoy her company (and sees her regularly at local playgrounds on the nannying circuit), we love catching up with her and chatting about life in Cambridge (particularly the dining scene!). We're so thankful to have met Colleen, and can hardly imagine a kinder or more professional carer.
