Caroline  A., Babysitter in Franklin, MA 02038 with 2 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Caroline, and I have years of experience working with children through teaching, nannying, and babysitting. I graduated from Fitchburg State University with a degree in Early Childhood Education, which has given me a strong understanding of child development and creating positive, engaging environments for children of all ages. For the past two years, I’ve been a full-time nanny for one family, where I’ve helped manage daily routines, planned activities, supported learning and development, and created a safe and nurturing environment for the children. This experience has strengthened my ability to be dependable, patient, organized, and adaptable to each child’s unique needs. I’m passionate about providing a fun, caring, and supportive atmosphere where children feel comfortable and encouraged to learn and grow. I enjoy planning creative activities, helping with homework and routines, and keeping kids active and engaged throughout the day. Families would describe me as reliable, caring, easy to communicate with, and trustworthy. I’m currently looking for babysitting opportunities and would love to connect with a family that’s a great fit!

Caroline was great! Our little guy loved when she would come over and play! She was always punctual and would even bring toys and gifts to help entertain him.

Christine D., Babysitter in Franklin, MA 02038 with 25 years of paid experience

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 with my afternoon family going on 6 years and was an overnight newborn care expert until May of 2020 when my 7 year old adoptive daughter moved in. It has been a whirlwind since then but now that she is back in school full time it is time for me to also find more consistency. 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.

I can't even begin to describe how happy we have been with Christine who has been taking care of our now 2 1/2 year old son for the past year. She has a natural and intuitive sense of how to communicate with very young children and is a pro at helping them develop their own ability to speak. Christine has really put her heart into every day that she has spent with our son and she truly cares and wants the best for all children she takes care of. Her style is gentle, yet firm when needed, and she has unending patience. We will be sad to see Christine go. We wanted to have our son enroll in daycare to have more regular exposure to children but we look forward to getting in touch with her for the next child, should she be available!

Elizabeth I., Babysitter in Franklin, MA 02038 with 12 years of paid experience

Your infant, your child, is unique. That uniqueness is what fuels my passion for childcare. I love learning and discovering each child's personality, likes, dislikes, interests, curiosity, eventually hobbies and passions. For me it's fun to engage with a child based on those unique qualities. I have extensive experience with infants, even twins, and I'm a former high school/middle school teacher, so I have experience with older kids, too. My education experience has made me especially adept at interesting kids in outdoor and non-screen activities. Both my grad and undergrad degrees were in English, and I've taught English, ESL (English as a Second Language), and Spanish. I enjoy tutoring and am willing to help children with homework if desired. Currently a Special Ed teaching assistant, I do have some experience with children with special needs though am not certified. I am willing to provide care for children with special needs when parents feel I'm a good fit for their child. Recently re-certified in CPR and First Aid, I am up to date on Covid vaccinations/boosters and am an excellent driver. If I sound like I may be a good fit, I'd love to hear from you! Best regards, Liz

Liz is a reliable and professional caregiver. She has provided childcare for us regularly and is completely trustworthy. I appreciate how she gives us updates and is upfront about everything with our child. Liz is a natural teacher and engages with our child to reach each milestone together. We value her conscientiousness and gentle approach. I recommend Liz for caregiving as well as teaching.

Mary S., Babysitter in Franklin, MA 02038 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 babysitting positions where I can bring my 2-year old daughter along, especially in the summer months when I’m not teaching.

Rachel S., Babysitter in Franklin, MA 02038 with 10 years of paid experience

With 10 years of experience in child care, I am all about ensuring a fun, safe and warm environment. I am very creative whether it is with teaching, activities, games, arts and crafts. I love creating long lasting relationships with the kids and families. I treat every child like they’re my own. I’ve had previous experience nannying twins starting with the family when they were 3 months old and now they are almost 5 years old, which I occasionally babysit. My recent experience includes school/daycare drop off. Including wake up, packing lunch, making breakfast, dropping off, etc. Watching kids grow and being a part of their growth is so special to me!

Sandi C., Babysitter in Franklin, MA 02038 with 9 years of paid experience

I provide a loving and fun environment for children. I was an art instructor at the Attleboro Arts museum and worked with children ages 3 to 18, and the special needs population, ages 4 to 65. I was given the most beloved and fun title at the museum. I would ensure that each and every child or adult felt good about what they had accomplished when they would leave for the day. I love children and they love me. I have stellar references from my previous child care jobs as well as the Attleboro Arts Museum. I have over thirteen years of nanny experience and am currently looking for the right opportunity. I was awarded the 2013 'Unsung Heroines Award' by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for my advocacy work. References upon request. You will not be sorry if you pick me...guaranteed!
