I love babysitting and working with kids. I think it's amazing to be able to help a child fulfill their potential, be it with school work or finally being able to build that perfect legos building. I've had a lot of experience with taking care of kids. I look after my cousins, age ranging from 2 years old to 12 years old, constantly.

Pabla I'd great with my baby daughter, who is excited each time she sees her. Pabla is organized and easy to communicate with, even showing me a calendar of her availability. She takes initiative with chores. Best of all she has warm and happy to engage with our whole family.

I am a higher educational professional who was born and raised in the Boston area. I have a Masters degree and work with students every day. I recently relocated to the Pioneer Valley to work at Amherst College! I have a plethora of babysitting experience from my four years in Boston. I have babysat children as young as 3 months old. I love babies and am very comfortable with them since many of my friends have children who I spend a lot of time with!! In Boston, I had several regular clients with kiddos ranging from 3 months to 7 years old. I also was a camp counselor and worked with 9 and 10 year olds so I am comfortable with all ages. I am incredibly organized, mature and trustworthy. I am also compassionate and attentive, always putting the children who I babysit first. I am trained in CPR and First Aid as well. I am an intelligent young professional and can work with people of all ages. I also am able to help with homework, particularly in French and Spanish! I love being silly with little kids, whether it is dancing around with them, getting on the floor or going outside in the backyard to play.

Madelyn is SUCH a great sitter. Our daughter, who can be really shy and scared of strangers, opened up to her immediately. She was never distracted by something else during her time at our house and was always talking to our daughter and engaging her, even before she could really say words. She's such a gem and we're so sad to leave the area because we can't have her all the time. The playroom was always clean at the end of their time together and she did a great job of changing diapers at the appropriate times.

After 10 years playing, teaching, and exploring with my nanny families in New York City, I am so excited to bring my passion for childcare to Western Massachusetts! I began nannying while studying at NYU, hoping to lend a hand to busy families. I coordinated school pickups, facilitated playdates, survived many infant swim lessons, helped with homework, gallivanted around the park, devised at-home science and art projects, and stewarded children ranging from 9 months-13 years old through their social-emotional development and adjustment to the world. I am especially interested in and adapt at working with young queer and trans children, as well as sensitive, introspective, and/or shy children. My drive for nannying came from my experience growing up with a single mom: I saw firsthand how invaluable trusted sitters were for my development, and it would be a joy to become apart of your family's village!
