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 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 coach. My rates vary based on the ages of the children, and distance. I do have a 4 hour minumum , and a guarenteed hour policy. Which just means that I'm guaranteed the pay of what we originally booked, even if you come home early. Once a booking is confirmed, that time is reserved exclusively for your family, and I turn down other requests. In Closing: I truly appreciate you trusting me with your child/children and allowing me to be apart Best, Esther

Esther was wonderful with our 1 year old daughter - she even came prepared with activities! Very communicative as well. We’d love to work with her again!
