This is a place for new, expecting and experienced parents living in the Charlestown to connect and get advice from each other, plan playdates, request recommendations, as well as buy/sell/swap baby gear.
We are expecting our first child at the end of March 2027 and are exploring nanny care beginning in late summer or early fall, when our baby will be approximately 4–6 months old.
We are still determining our exact start date and childcare needs as we coordinate maternity leave, paternity leave, and our return to work. We live in Charlestown. I primarily work from home, while my wife works in Seaport. We anticipate needing weekday care from approximately 8 a.m. to 5–6 p.m.
As first-time parents, we are looking for an experienced, reliable, and nurturing infant nanny who can provide attentive care, establish healthy routines, and support age-appropriate development. We would appreciate guidance, advice, or references on availability, scheduling, and the hiring process.
Hi! I’m Kim, a mom of two in Charlestown, and wanted to share a little something I’ve been building called TinyVoy.
It’s a free app that helps parents and caregivers find kid-friendly things to do nearby—local events, indoor play spots, places to grab lunch with little ones, and more.
The idea came from spending more time searching for outings than actually getting out the door with my boys. Whether you’re a parent planning the weekend or a nanny looking for something new between naps, I hope it saves you some digging!
We currently cover Boston, the North Shore, South Shore and Cape Cod—and there are lots of fun Halloween events in the app if you’re still looking for plans this weekend! 🎃
Would love for you to check it out and let me know what you think!

Hi! I’m Ariane, founder of the Montessori Parent Child Center (MPCC), which I established in Boston’s South End in 2009. Since then, we’ve helped hundreds of families bring Montessori home and support their children’s independence, concentration, and emotional development.
I personally lead our in-home Montessori sessions for children ages 0–6. In your home, I can see how your child learns and what they are ready for next. Each session is tailored to their developmental stage and interests, with Montessori materials and experiences chosen to support their learning. French immersion is also available.
We are currently accepting a small number of families for in-home sessions in Boston and nearby neighborhoods.
