Nyeka S., Babysitter in Canton, MA 02021 with 15 years of paid experience

Hello, I prefer to be addressed as Nikki, and I am a certified emergency medical technician. What sets me apart! 1. I have 15 years of professional experience working with children ranging from newborns to teenagers. 2. My passion for caring for children is profound. I have worked with approximately 55 families with another child care agency outside of and I have developed strong bonds with the 19 repeated families (out of the 55 families), often being considered part of their families. 3. As long as you need my services, I will always show up! I am committed to the families I assist. I am honest, patient, nurturing, protective, attentive, and responsible. I don’t just see this as a gig! Every child who is under my care is treated with respect and love. 4. I emphasize the importance of active learning and play over screen time. My approach is both interactive and engaging, as I enjoy organizing fun and educational activities, including but not limited to, arts and crafts, at home play, trips to the library, museums, and parks, language development for infants and homework assistance for school age children. Also, I offer support with light housekeeping and meal preparation centered around the children to ensure the household runs smoothly. In addition, I engage in various activities with the children. FOR INFANTS/NEWBORNS, I prioritize language exposure which involves reading to them, teaching vocabulary and sounds, and using visual aids like pictures and colors. I also assist with sleep training, bathing, feeding, and diaper changes. FOR TODDLERS, I support potty training, promote speech development, conduct spelling exercises, read books, teach phonics and writing, and introduce basic numbers and math concepts. 5. I pride myself on being an effective communicator. I prioritize open communication with the parents and children to foster a positive and trusting relationship. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to provide exceptional care for your children.

Mary S., Babysitter in Canton, MA 02021 with 12 years of paid experience

I really enjoy kids! They are naturally authentic and interested in the world. I studied Math and Education in college, and got teaching experience in classrooms ranging from kindergarten to high school. I got certified to teach secondary math, and went on to do a year of Americorps service after college. I moved to Boston in 2007 and began babysitting until I figured out what was next. I enjoyed what I was doing so much that I went on to become a full time nanny the following year. I worked for three years for a family with three children- ages 2, 5, and 7 when I started. After the youngest was off to kindergarten, I took a new position, a nanny share caring for two 2-year old girls. I’ve also babysat for multiple families over the years ranging from overnights with infant twins to school vacation help for 12-year olds. I taught the preschool class at my church for 5 years as well. In October 2012, I had a daughter of my own! I began bringing her along to babysitting/ nanny positions, which worked out quite well. In 2019, after working as a nanny/ babysitter for 12 years, I transitioned to teaching. I worked as an assistant in a combined Pre-K/Kindergarten class for four years before becoming the lead teacher of a separate Pre-K class. I had another daughter in January 2024 and am currently exploring the possibility of a babysitting position where I can bring my 1-year old daughter along.

Sophia S., Babysitter in Canton, MA 02021 with 3 years of paid experience

I’ve had a passion for caring for kids for as long as I can remember. Even as a child, I loved helping care for younger kids at church, in my family, or anywhere I had the chance. I have experience as a babysitter, substitute teacher, and Residential Advisor, which has helped me develop strong communication skills, conflict resolution strategies, and the ability to create safe, structured environments where kids can thrive. I’m comfortable caring for up to two children of all ages. Whether it’s leading fun, engaging activities, helping with meals and nap time, or just being a dependable presence, I’m ready to support your family in whatever way I can. I’ve worked with kids from a wide range of backgrounds and personalities, and I love building connections with each of them. I’m excited to create a fun and safe space while gaining more experience and meeting your family’s needs.
