events and meetups
BRING THE CHAOS. BUILD THE CONNECTION
Our events and meetups bring local parents, nannies, and caregivers together for easygoing outdoor mornings across the North Shore. From loose storytimes and nature walks to casual conversations on a picnic blanket, these gatherings are built to give adults a supportive village and littles the freedom to play, wander, and explore at their own pace.
Diaper Bag Brigade
Pack the bag, meet friends, and explore! Join other caregivers for a casual morning hangout with passive activities to entertain all ages. The Diaper Bag Brigade series was born out of a need to build community among the North Shore nannies, parents, grandparents, babysitters, and anyone caring for littles. Plus it gives us all an excuse to try new places and stretches our imagination for doing new things. Whether your child sits for story-time or wanders off, needs a quick snack break or leads the way, this space is flexible and for you! Every meetup is loosely structured and largely adaptable to the changing group needs. Depending on the monthly location and theme, you can expect anything from sitting on a picnic blanket, to riding bikes under an airplane wing, to meeting a real farmer, or decorating a group rainbow with sparkles and leaves..
Past Series
SEPTEMBER ‘26 MEETUP: Transitions
September brought big seasonal shifts, new routines, and evolving schedules, making it the perfect time to explore the concept of Transitions together at Endicott Park. Over three weeks, we followed the children’s lead… kicking off on picnic blankets with a curated collection of seasonal books, getting delightfully hands-on with an outdoor mud kitchen, and practicing moving through physical spaces as we wandered from the playground through the park.
Each week paired low-pressure sensory play with real-life conversation prompts for the grown-ups, creating a supportive space to share the joys and friction points of seasonal change, boundaries, and shifting family rhythms. Thank you to everyone who brought their blankets, embraced the mess, and connected with us!
OCTOBER MEETUP: Identity
This October, we’re exploring the theme of identity as we build up to Halloween! Join us for activities and discussion prompts around how our littles begin to recognize themselves, express big feelings, and see the world around them. We’ll meet new friends each week and have open ended activity invitations like exploring our reflections, sensory play with masks, and costume day. While the kiddos explore their reflections and discover what makes them unique, we’ll hold space for the grownups with thoughtful discussion prompts around early emotional development, how we speak to our kids own identities, and navigating our own shifting identities as caregivers.
