Hello! I am a mom of two wonderful young adults adopted from foster care as toddlers. I was lucky to have provided nanny services for a new mom when I was younger, and did plenty of babysitting. I have been part of the baby cuddler program at Baystate Franklin Medical Center for 10+ years supporting high needs newborns and their moms. It has been an incredibly rich and rewarding experience. I have my own arts business which allows me to have flexibility with my schedule. I’d love to provide ongoing child care for your family that gives you the peace of mind and consistency you need. In my free time I go on walks with my pup Hunny Bunny, play ping pong and spend time with friends. I look forward to supporting you and your family by providing safe, reliable and fun care for your baby or toddler. Take care- Pam

I am a Career Development Counselor at Holyoke Community College. I use child development theory when working with children to meet kiddos where they are at developmentally. I love spending time with kids who are interested in drawing, doing crafts, reading books, and playing outside! I’m not a couch potato, so my focus would be on activities that involve the least amount of TV as possible :) I am fluent in Spanish & Urdu. As I have a full-time job, my babysitting availability is limited to date nights, weekends, and holidays.

Nicole A.
- 4 years paid experience

My name is Nicole (I go by Nicky), I’m 23 years old and currently reside in Western Massachusetts doing what I love! I am a full-time infant teacher at a day centre and love my job as I’ve always known I wanted to work with kids and it stems from when my family first adopted my little brother and we assisted in his orphanage. We helped plate out food, entertained the kids, and ensured they were getting all the tender loving care! I’ve always walked away feeling rewarded when working with kids, whether it be a hard or easy day. I started college at Umass Amherst and am planning to finish up at Greenfield Community College as a part-time student. I am majoring in Psychology (Child behaviour and development) in hopes of one day becoming a Child Therapist! During high school, I was a babysitter for one family and after I graduated (2020) I became a full-time nanny for a little girl and was with that family for 2.5 years and now an infant teacher:) I am a really open-minded, hardworking, and fun person who loves to learn and gain all types of experience! When I'm not around my kiddos, I love to go on walks, hikes, or any type of adventure with food at the end! However, when it is raining I will 100% be inside watching a movie/reading a book or at the gym grinding! I love dogs and cats but am not so great with reptiles or bugs:( A fun fact about myself is that I used to live in Spain not once but twice and loved it both times! I hope that one day I can go back to living next to the ocean:) If you have any questions please feel free to ask, I am an open book!
