Sittercity helps Millers Falls families find the best babysitters

Hi! My name is Lenore and I recently from Asheville, NC over to western Mass. I have been around kids for most of my life in the form of babysitting, camp counseling, and daycares. I love working with kids of all ages as well as pets. I have recently received both my cna and bls certifications in the state of North Carolina.

Hi! I’m currently a junior at the University of Massachusetts majoring in communications. I’ve had three years of babysitting experience for children of all ages and am CPR and First Aid certified. I have my own car and am able to pick up/drop off children. I’m available to work weekdays after 4 pm on mondays/wednesdays, after 2 pm on Tuesdays/Thursdays and anytime on Sundays. Please feel free to reach out!

Greetings! I am a professional older sister. I am qualified to change diapers, wipe tears and read bedtime stories. I enjoy things that warm my heart such as laughter, nature, and imagination. The only thing I love more than that is a child's perspective. I am Red Cross certified and have an up to date CORI. I hold a bachelors in Child and Adolescent Psychology. Some of my experience with children includes: working three summers as one of three counselors to teach and provide preschoolers with a safe environment while having fun at summer camp, a game coordinator for the local vacation bible school for ages K-6, volunteering in church nursery's, foreign orphanages, and kindergarten speech lessons. I have assisted in preschool classrooms, and in the care for three foster babies in the past. I worked as a substitute teacher last year, and as a para professional/ 1 on 1 with children diagnosed with autism the year prior to that. I have 5 years of nannying experience. Patience is key, and positive re-enforcement is the secret. I am patient and friendly, reliable and focused. I also play the ukulele!

My name is Julia, I'm a psychology and Education studies double major with a data analysis minor at Wesleyan University. I grew up in Amherst Mass and am the youngest of 4. My hobbies include singing, writing, swimming, skiing, arts and crafts, playing with my dog, and watching my favorite show (new girl). I have 6 years of experience, and my own car! I was a varsity swim captain at my high school and I’m first aid and CPR certified.

Hi there! I'm Eleyna. I’m from Eastern MA, but I live in Greenfield now! Some of my hobbies include pottery, other various crafts, and cooking. For the past two years I've been a garden and food educator for elementary students in Holyoke. Before that I worked with middle and high school students in Austria, and before that I babysat for a wide range of ages, worked as a substitute teacher, and was an assistant teacher at an elementary after school program. I love working with kids, guiding their social emotional development, encouraging a sense of curiosity and scientific inquiry, and above all supporting them in learning through play!

Hi there! My name is Ashley, and I am a 21-year-old undergraduate student. I have had plenty of experience working with kids, whether it was as a camp counselor or an as-needed babysitter for neighbors and friends. I also worked with kids for several years as a junior Taekwondo instructor. I am reliable and patient, and I am resourceful in challenging situations. I am also physically fit and enjoy getting active and involved with whatever the kids are doing, like going to parks, riding bikes, stomping around in puddles, or playing with action figures or dolls. I think being attentive as well as being involved is what helps foster trust between the kids and me, no matter how old they are (and it makes the job fun!). I also have skills in cooking, cleaning (and organizational skills), and basic first aid. I am CPR certified as of November (2024). I am available to take care of pets, too (I have plenty of my own at home!).

Hello! My name is Kei and I have over eight years of experience caring for kids from a few months to 13 years old, including as a live-in caretaker for two kids for over two years. I believe children thrive socially and intellectually when they have compassionate, reliable, and flexible caretakers who are able to both establish mutual lines of respect and have fun with them! I've cared for both quiet kids and ones bursting with energy, and am very comfortable adjusting to their needs (and parental desires!) accordingly. I additionally have teaching and tutoring experience in education levels from Pre-K to high school, am athletic and musical, and can drive and cook.

I have babysat for my neighbors in the past. There were 3 families that i would babysit throughout the course of a year. I also volunteered at the YMCA daycare for about 6 months! I am definitely qualified to babysit, clean the house, and pets-sit.

Hi! I'm Lian, a current college student at UMass Amherst, and I'm looking to provide some extra help or care for kid who need it while I'm working on campus over the summer. I don't have any professional experience with traditional child care (yet), but I have a wealth of other experiences that have developed my skills for working with kids and love for helping them out. I've helped to take care of younger cousins and my nephew growing up, providing care ranging from simply spending time with them and making sure they're safe, to homework help, preparing food, and providing strong emotional support when times get rough and they most need it. Through younger family, I have also had first-hand experience caring for kids with ADHD, including helping impulse control, and keeping patience when teaching academic skills like reading or math. I also have 2+ years of experience outside my family. One of these experiences is volunteer tutoring, where I have experience working with kids from upper elementary all the way through high school, teaching subjects such as math, reading comprehension & writing skills, and biology. At the same time, this experience has also helped develop my communication, minor conflict-resolution, and leadership skills. I've also volunteered at a marine life center, where I taught and engaged kids of all ages about our local marine wildlife, while also ensuring safety and rule-following. This included instructing safe and careful play in the touch-tanks (and redirecting kids from playing in the non-touch-tanks), keeping a close eye on or staying near them if parents needed to step out for any reason, and reminding them about respect for the wildlife (and one another) if things started to get a bit too rough. Most importantly though, this also gained me a lot of experience in ensuring the kids also had a fun, educational time. I'd answer all their questions as best as I could (including the ever-repetitive "Why?"), let them talk about their interests, helped them discover all the center had to offer, and most importantly, made sure they had fun while learning. I have training in CPR and extensive first-aid knowledge, as well as experience interacting with a range of special-needs kids (within and outside of family). Ultimately, what'd I love most about being a sitter is just getting to help kids out, teach them some interesting things along the way, and learn about what cool little humans they are.

Hi, I’m Emma Bonin! I’m current college student studying psychology, with a focus in child psychology and care. I’m a dedicated student and a dedicated sitter. I’m energetic but easygoing, and happy to help. I’ve been babysitting for family and friends since middle school, but in recent years I’ve gained a lot more professional experience with all kinds of kiddos. I’ve been a babysitter, I’ve worked in a church nursery, I have done volunteer work for kids with cognitive and physical disabilities, and I’ve worked as a summer camp counselor. I love being a babysitter because I’ve always been told that I work well with children, and it’s so much more engaging and real to me than working behind a cash register. Childhood is the mist important and impactful stage of life, and it’s important to nurture every kid on their individual path. I love to be helpful however I can, so I’m great for assisting with rides, errands, light housework, and I’ve been told that I’m a pretty good cook/baker. I’d love to help your family next!
