Hi!! I am located in Stoneham and have been working as a babysitter for 7 years now. I have worked with all age ranges from infant to pre-teen!

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.

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'm a rising senior at UMass Amherst, studying Music Education and planning on teaching elementary aged students. I have plenty of childcare experience: I've been a summer camp counselor (both sleepaway and day camp), a childcare specialist for staff children at music programs, and babysitter. I have cared for children ages 2 to 17. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I have a car and drivers license (with nothing on my driving record). My childcare style is patient and understanding, but still firm with rules and structure. I'm passionate about working with children, encouraging creativity, and teaching! As a college student, I am available to work weeknights after my classes, and all day weekends (I am comfortable with working overnight in Fridays and Saturdays as well. Feel free to contact me if you feel that I would be a good fit for your family!

Ariyana C., Babysitter in Amherst, MA 01002 with 1 year of paid experience

My passion for working with children started when I was little since I would often care for children of family friends. I enrolled in an Early Education and Care (EEC) course in high school to pursue my passion. I graduated from high school with a certificate of completion from my high school EEC course. I also graduated from early college high school with an associates degree in Liberal Arts. I am currently attending a four-year college towards a degree in Biochemistry. I am still employed at a daycare I started working at in February 2024. I have one year of paid experience from the daycare and have been trained in pediatric CPR/First Aid and mandated reporter training. I have been trained in other areas such as EEC Essentials and safety when playing outdoors. My other experiences include taking a four-month externship at an elementary school as well as assisting at my high school's daycare as part of the Early Education and Care curriculum for two years. Recently, I looked after a toddler in my neighborhood during the beginning of this year.

Sidney B., Babysitter in Amherst, MA 01002 with 6 years of paid experience

I’m a nursing student at UMass with a passion for caring for kids! I started babysitting in middle school, and since then have spent my summers working as a camp counselor, and this year I even shadowed the camp nurse to take over for her next year! I’m patient and have never found a child I couldn’t get along with. Some of my strengths are doing arts and crafts, sports, swimming, and playing games with them! I’m also happy to help out around the help and with homework if applicable!
