Nantucket Baby is the island’s premier resource for top-of-the-line rented baby and beach equipment for beach, sleep, activities and more. Amanda also offers a grocery service.
How did these two smart businesswomen meet? Amanda was once a Boston Baby Nurse!
They’re also fond of Nantucket -- Amanda grew up on Nantucket and now raises her own family there, and Carole spent summers on the island as a girl and now brings her family to vacation there, too.
All sitters undergo a rigorous background check and at least 3-5 references will be needed per sitter. Once sitters pass the qualification process, they are trained using the Boston Baby Nurse Training Program that was developed by Carole, a former Labor & Delivery RN, and a Boston pediatrician who is affiliated with Children’s Hospital.
Once a sitter has been placed, Carole and Amanda will send a picture of the sitter to the client and will include a brief bio and some fun facts to help prepare the children.
