Sittercity helps Berkshire families find the best babysitters

Hi, My name is Aryianna and I am a college student and athlete at UMass Boston, I am a criminology major. I have been teaching children gymnastics for 6 years at my gym! I have also babysat family members many times. I love children and would love to be able to hang out with them and babysit in my free time!

I’m a grad student getting my Master’s in Education for School Counseling, where I focus on art therapy and mindfulness. I am an artist myself and love doing arts and crafts with kids!

Hi I’m Trevor. I’m a young, fun male sitter who is very negotiable in terms of what services you require. Whether it’s babysitting, daycare, etc. The same is said for my pay I am very negotiable and will work for the lowest amount possible maybe even lower whatever works best with you. I am available 24/7, 7 days a week and am great with kids. We can have plenty of fun together all while I’m making sure they’re safe and not being influenced by anything negative. In wake of Coronavirus, I will make sure as little germs are spread as possible and that whoever I’m caring for washes their hands and stays clean as can be. Not very strict with terms so I’ll work with whatever works best with you! I can’t wait to hear from you :)

I just graduated from high school. I love working with kids they make me feel special. I’m going to be honest I’ve always have sat my little cousins. I’m first aid certified

I love taking care of children. I play games with them and I am a certified Lifegaurd so I can bring them swimming and ensure their safety at all times. I have babysat for 3 years, I am very experienced I have my license. I can drive them around if the parents request it. I change diapers without a problem. My favorite thing about kids is the fact that they always make you laugh.

Hello! I'm Alexia, an occupational therapy student at the University of New Hampshire. I’m currently one of my internships for my degree in the Berkshires in a pediatric mental health setting. I absolutely love working with kids and have many years of formal and informal experience. I started out babysitting my younger cousin when I was around 12 and still have an amazing relationship with her today. I have also watched many of my parents' friends' children, of all different ages. I have professional experience working as a summer school and substitute teacher and as a therapeutic training and support specialist for children with mental and behavioral health needs. Some of my favorite things are animals, spending time outdoors, traveling, art/crafting, and baking; all experiences I would be delighted in sharing with your family. My friends and family would describe me as bubbly and on-the-go, I never waste time always trying to make the most of every moment. I love to learn and am more than willing to help kids with homework and other learning opportunities!

Hello! Working with kids has always seemed like a fun job and I'd love to be able to work more with them! As a robotics summer camp counselor I get to work hands on with a group of kids and as a previous babysitter I watched 3 kids ranging from 4-11 so I'm up for anything!

From creating and teaching activities such as crafts, nature walks and cooking lessons, as well homework tutoring. I love to teach - and to learn!

I began watching children at a young age by being a big sister, caring for family members, and eventually family friends children as well. At 18 years old I began my professional career as a nanny. I have a background in early childhood education, and have also gone to school briefly for psychology. I have background nannying in a Montessori household, as well as other households with different beliefs. My extensive childcare experiences, as well as educational background, I can successfully take care of your children and manage a household. As a productive and vibrant person, I have worked with many young children and enjoyed engaging them in imaginative, and outdoor activities. I have a history of arranging fun engaging activities, and overseeing the children's development. Additionally, I am able to provide care throughout the day including educational play, meal preparation, light housekeeping duties, trips to the park or library, and other activities that may encourage development. I am comfortable playing with the children, reading books, and having primary focus on them. I am a non-smoker, physically fit, I am a very hard worker, and am able to maintain confidentiality. My employers would note me as a calm, resourceful, and impactful nanny who is able to take charge and make decisions based on the guidelines of parents. My childcare skills, with my upbeat attitude and friendly nature, will help me succeed in any nanny role. I would love the opportunity to work with you and your family. Thanks so much for your time. -Alyssa

Hello! My name is Elise, I am currently a student entering my third year at University of Massachusetts Amherst majoring in both Astronomy and Physics. I have experience working in both public and private child care, and I absolutely love the energy and environment that children create. I am always intrigued by abstract thinking, and I find that children are particularly proficient at this, each in their own unique way. They demonstrate an extraordinary array of skills and creativity, and it is amazing to watch them create new worlds and find unconventional solutions that I never would have thought of. The opportunity to help facilitate a child's process of navigating their worlds, all on the physical, emotional, and mental level, is extraordinary. I find so much joy witnessing a child’s sense of wonder, knowing that whatever they are thinking and experiencing will only lead to more questions and excitement. There have been times when I have learned something from a child as well. I strive to create a symbiotic relationship, which allows all of us to learn and experience things in our own fun and positive way.
