Hi! My name is Shivapriya, but I go by Shugi! I’m currently a senior at Westfield State University and have moved back to my hometown of Ashland, MA, where I’ll be completing my final semester from home. I absolutely love working with kids and have several years of experience in childcare and youth programs! I’ve worked as a tutor, summer camp staff member (2023 & 2024), and Site Coordinator for a school-age program near my university (2024–2026). As a Site Coordinator, I was responsible for supervising groups of up to 22 children, managing and supporting my staff, planning activities, and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for every child. I am EEC and First Aid certified and have completed all of my required Redwoods trainings and certifications. I was born and raised in Massachusetts and am also fluent in both English and Tamil! Outside of school and childcare, I love staying active and being outdoors, cooking, baking, and doing arts and crafts. I’m also currently working toward becoming certified as a fitness instructor, as health and fitness have become another passion of mine! I’m very adaptable and comfortable working with children of different ages, personalities, and interests. I’m also more than happy to help out with furry family members! My goal is to create an environment where your children feel safe, comfortable, engaged, and, most importantly, have fun. I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your family!

Dalia helped us and took care of our 5 months-old twins when I had an appointment. She stayed half an hour longer than she expected to stay to ensure I was back home. Babies were happy, smiling, and in clean diapers. they had their nap and were entertained with songs and books. I only had her help for a couple of hours but clearly, she was energetic and kind to babies. Sadly she is leaving the state, so we won't able to have her assistance in the future.

Amber was fantastic with our 18 month old! They had a blast and we had no concerns about leaving our child in Amber's capable hands for a few hours. We look forward to working with Amber again!

I am the youngest of seven kids with a mother who also took foster children and ran a home daycare. I love children and have been around them for my pretty much my entire life. I began when I was 15 assisting my mother with her home daycare and then went on to become lead teacher at a friend's home daycare. I left working there only to care for my two sister's children when they decided not to put them into daycare. I became their stay at home Auntie and took them to the zoo and library play groups and out for lots of other outdoor activities. I love being an Aunt and arranging many activities for 8 nephews and 2 nieces from Easter Egg Hunts to camping trips. I have also worked at the St Mary's after school program as an assistant coordinator for two years. I have worked long term with several great families. I was also an overnight newborn care expert until May of 2020 when I adopted my then seven year old daughter. I have worked several preschool positions with Norwood Public schools as well as at St Catherine of Siena Catholic School. Overall, I just love being with children and have found it very rewarding to be able to watch and help them to grow into the amazing individuals they each are.

Christine was very kind and patient with my one-year-old (who was extra cranky since I was traveling without her for the first time!). Thank you so much for your help!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our 6 and 2 year kids. Britni was wonderful with both kids and immediately made them feel comfortable. She was attentive, responsible, and playful, and did a great job balancing the different needs and personalities of both children. We felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care and came home to two happy (and sleeping) kids! In the morning the 6 year old told us he couldn't wait until the next time! We would absolutely recommend Britni to other families and would love to have her sit for us again.

Joan babysat for my 5 and 2 year old recently. I could tell that the safety and comfort of the kids is a priority for her. Joan is also very reliable; I got the impression that she is the type who always shows up on time and keeps her commitments. I've had a couple experiences in the past where a babysitter is happy to show up if it is rainy or cold outside but as soon as the weather is nice, they text you and say they have a family matter. I'm confident that you won't have to worry about this with Joan; she even showed up on a holiday weekend when it was sunny and in the 80's. If you are looking for someone more mature who will not be texting her friends, inviting people over, etc while she is watching the kids, then I would highly recommend getting in touch with Joan.
