Hi there, I’m moving to Winchester next week and looking for a new pediatrician and dentist for my kids. Any recommendations? Thanks!
I highly recommend our wonderful nanny Sabine, who will be available early March 2026 as our son will be transitioning to daycare. Sabine has been a cornerstone of our family for 4 years, and any family would be lucky to have her.
She is a true career nanny with initial daycare experience followed by more than 15 years of private nannying. She is a pro at balancing multiple children’s needs and successfully nannied a share for my daughter (6mo-2.2yrs, with a child the same age). We were lucky enough to have her again for a second share for my son (6mo-1.5yrs, with a child 6 months older).
Sabine effortlessly establishes routines and troubleshoots feeding and sleep transitions. She even potty trained my daughter shortly after her 2nd birthday. She is always on the floor playing with the kids, finding local community events, and keeping the kids active and social. We trust her completely; she is loving, patient and dedicated. Kids flock to her, and we’ve frequently had strangers comment on the visible bond she has with my son.
Sabine is a US citizen and fluent English speaker with her own car. While she has a special heart for babies, she is open to discussing other opportunities. She is ideally looking for full-time work (but is open to part-time), in commuting distance from Melrose via car or T (Winchester, Arlington, Somerville, Belmont, Melrose, Medford, Reading, Woburn, Wakefield, Charlestown, West End, Back Bay, Stoneham, Malden, or similar).
If you are interested, please message Sabine at 857-869-6849

Like new travel stroller from Cybex. Folds up easily and stores perfectly in an overhead bin. Perfect for travel with littles up to 4 years and 55 lbs. XL UPF Canopy, plenty of storage underneath, easy to maneuver, adjustable recline, about 13 lbs so pretty lightweight. Can work with any Cybex carseat. We used it twice and it was perfect. Smoke and pet free home.
Do you know anyone who is looking for an excellent nanny with 10 plus years of experience? I have been watching this nanny for years and I’m always amazed at the love for the kids she cares for. She is now looking for a new full-time position and doesn’t mind starting as early as necessary, but would need her day to end by 4 PM due to her own family commitments. If you are interested, feel free to reach out to her and I’m sure she will be happy to connect with you. Her nickname is Sunny and her number is 857-313-8825.
