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.

I love being a sitter because it comes easy to me. I have been babysitting since about 12 years old and I have never been sick of it! I have also been a counselor at a summer camp for the last 5 years so I am certified in first aid and CPR.

Hi Families! My name is Erin Kilraine, and I recently moved to the Sunderland, Massachusetts area from Walpole, MA. I have over 10 years of childcare experience and am currently looking to connect with families needing weekend babysitting, date nights, occasional help, or backup care. I absolutely love working with children and have spent many years caring for kids of all ages. I’ve been lucky enough to work long-term with amazing families — including one family for 6 years and another for 4 years. Building strong relationships with both children and parents has always been one of my favorite parts of nannying. I am responsible, patient, nurturing, and dependable, and I always strive to create a safe, fun, and caring environment for the children I care for. Whether it’s playing games, helping with bedtime routines, preparing meals/snacks, or simply giving parents peace of mind during a night out, I genuinely enjoy being there to help. I am also currently in nursing school working toward becoming a pediatric nurse, which has strengthened my passion for caring for children and families even more. I would love to connect and see if I could be a good fit for your family’s occasional babysitting needs. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! Warmly, Erin Kilraine
