Hi, I love caring for infants and toddlers. I also have experience working with preschool and school age children. I have worked in family daycare, daycare centers, Head Start and in private homes. I have an Infant Toddler Certificate, a Special Needs Certificate, an A.S. degree in Early Childhood Education a B.A. in Sociology and Anthropology and some graduate school course work in Social Work. I have been trained in CPR and first aid. I have years of experience working in Human Services and caring for adults also. I have experience working with both adults and children with special needs.I love animals, am a nonsmoker and have a clean driving record with a reliable car. I'm seeking a part-time position and can provide excellent references upon request. See my 5 star reviews. Although I clean up the kitchen after meals and toys after play, my focus is childcare and I do not provide housekeeping, laundry or errands. I am also equipped to provide childcare in my home and live in a safe, quiet neighborhood. I have toys, books, a comfortable play space, a quiet nap space, music, movies, etc. I can also provide snacks, diaper changes and potty training. See my 5 star reviews. Thank you.

Stephanie M., Nanny in Ipswich, MA 01938 with 16 years of paid experience

I hold a degree in Child Development and Early Childhood Education and have extensive experience working with children. From 2009 to 2019, I taught preschool-aged children, fostering their growth and development through engaging activities and personalized care. In 2019 and 2021, I worked as a Head Camp Counselor at a Girl Scout Camp, where I planned and led programs to create a fun and enriching environment. In 2022, I was promoted to Program Manager at the camp, further expanding my leadership and organizational skills. Additionally, I have hands-on experience as a nanny for two children, ages 2 and 4, and babysat for a family with a toddler from 2022 until the end of January. My responsibilities include preparing simple meals, assisting with potty training, and keeping the child engaged through indoor and outdoor activities. During the spring I babysat a one year old a few times. This summer I have been babysitting a six and ten year old. I also babysat 20 month year old twins a few times recently. Working with children has always been my passion, and I am currently seeking a babysitting position a few days during the week with preschool or elementary-aged children. My goal is to provide a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment for the children in my care.

Stephanie has come over a few times to help me with my 13mo old daughter while I work from home. Stephanie is incredibly sweet and polite and plays so well with her. I was truly impressed with how well my daughter took to her as she hasn't had many sitters at all, they played so well together while I worked and I appreciate her help so much. I would consider Stephanie very reliable.

Jennifer Y., Nanny in Ipswich, MA 01938 with 33 years of paid experience

Hello I was a full time nanny for 9.5 years, in Plano, Tx in 1990s. I very much enjoy taking care of babies, up to older children. I have babysat for co-workers children, in addition to Admin jobs I held @ the time. I returned to nanny care in 07-08, in Houston Tx. I have taken care of twins & worked Overnight care. Through this site I have babysat 2 young boys as in April 2014. I also worked as a night shift nanny-picking boys up from school,dinner, baths, bedtime. Austin, Tx 2017, I watched a newborn until he was 1.5 years old & still babysat and helped the mom with housekeeping, up until my move in 2023 out of state. 2018 I started with another babysitting job that during Covid, became full-time. I then additionally started taking care of their second baby. All in all, I worked for the same family in Austin, Tx 2018 through 2022. I have excellent references upon request. I’ve since moved to Amesbury Massachusetts in June 2023 and I am now ready to look for a 20 to 25hrs. weekly, Nanny care or babysitting job for one infant-toddler-newborn. Always up to date with CPR/First Aid. I have references in Austin Tx., up until I moved to Amesbury, MA (June 2023), as well as my Nanny/babysitting jobs. References upon request. I will make meal prep for the child Im taking care of. I will stay for overnight care if needed-if parents travel for work, or work a night shift. Pet friendly-I have cats & love dogs. https://www.sittercity.com/babysitters/babysitters-rate-calculator.html Rates I use the babysitting rate calculator depending on your ZIP code.10+ years experience.

Gabriela R., Nanny in Ipswich, MA 01938 with 2 years of paid experience

I have over two years of experience as a professional nanny, caring for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged kids. Before becoming a nanny, I had extensive experience taking care of children in different settings, including babysitting for family and friends and assisting with childcare in community programs. Throughout my time as a babysitter I have developed strong skills in creating engaging activities, supporting early childhood development, and maintaining a structured yet fun environment. I’m experienced in meal preparation, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping, ensuring a smooth day for both children and parents. I am currently in the process of renewing my CPR certification to ensure I’m fully prepared for any emergency situations. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive.

We had a great experience with Julia with our 10 month old daughter. We used Julia while we were visiting from out of town. We spoke on the phone and I spoke with a reference that had good experience as well. Julia was on time, very friendly and personable and a good communicator. I’d use Julia again if I were from the area.

Abigail helped my family between January and May of 2025. She was amazing with my kids and they naturally bonded with her. She helped tutor each child based on their needs in English and Math (1st grader, 3rd grader, and 5th grader), and was a wonderful influence on them and their behavior. She helped with errands when needed such as groceries, Dr appointments, and even did some light cleaning. She helped ensure my kids did their homework when they got home and their chores as needed. She provided sufficient communication on her availability, confirmed pickup logistics each week, and was very dependable and on time. She was a delight to work with, hope she will return to help the family out in the future, and you would be lucky to have her as a sitter.

Sheila K., Nanny in Ipswich, MA 01938 with 30 years of paid experience

I live in Amesbury on High St. I am looking for babysitting jobs. I am great with kids, love to get down and play, go outside, bake, do crafts, read, etc., etc. I am experienced and was a nanny/babysitter in NY so I could live near my son, an actor. Now I am back to my hometown area and live between my sister’s in Newburyport and my sister’s in Nottingham, NH. I took care of my niece from 4 months until she turned 5 for 3 days a week and 2 overnights in a row. I was a live-In Nanny/Household Manager to a 6 year old girl from August 2012 to April 2013. Also for a 3 and 4 year old for the summer. I was a live-in Nanny/House Manager for a family of 2 children and a dog. While raising my son, Keith, I always had my sister's 3 children, to give my son playmates. I was the 4th child of 8 children in a loving, happy family and helped my Mom raise 4 of my younger siblings, as well as managing a household, cooking and homework help. You will never find a more loving, caring and patient babysitter for your children.  I'm retired from the Air Force after 20 years.

Sheila has been great for us as a last minute sitter! Sometimes, when our daily childcare falls through, we end up scrambling to find someone to fill in. Sheila has been very responsive and able to come help out. She is great with our infant daughter - able to keep her happy, put her down for naps etc. We feel very lucky to have found Sheila! :)
