Momina S., Babysitter in Amherst, MA 01002 with 5 years of paid experience

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.

Pam K., Babysitter in Amherst, MA 01002 with 5 years of paid experience

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

Emma B., Babysitter in Amherst, MA 01002 with 2 years of paid experience

Hi, I’m Emma Bonin! I’m current college student studying psychology, with a focus in child psychology and care. I’m a dedicated student and a dedicated sitter. I’m energetic but easygoing, and happy to help. I’ve been babysitting for family and friends since middle school, but in recent years I’ve gained a lot more professional experience with all kinds of kiddos. I’ve been a babysitter, I’ve worked in a church nursery, I have done volunteer work for kids with cognitive and physical disabilities, and I’ve worked as a summer camp counselor. I love being a babysitter because I’ve always been told that I work well with children, and it’s so much more engaging and real to me than working behind a cash register. Childhood is the mist important and impactful stage of life, and it’s important to nurture every kid on their individual path. I love to be helpful however I can, so I’m great for assisting with rides, errands, light housework, and I’ve been told that I’m a pretty good cook/baker. I’d love to help your family next!
