A little bit about me… I've been babysitting since i was a child. I use to be a daycare teacher and helped my mom in her home daycare. I have worked in 3 different daycares as a preschool teacher. One was an at home daycare. I now have a 6-year old. She comes with me all the time and is a great help and loves meeting new children. It makes it easier, as I homeschool her. I have plenty of references that I can furnish. Different from the ones, already in here. I also study Health and Nutrition and we are Vegan. Thank you. Look forward to connecting with great families!

Sandra was a huge help watching 2 of our 3 toddlers for three days straight, while we moved into our new home! Sandra was punctual each day, had great communication texting and calling with updates and photos, and did so many fun and creative outings and adventures with the kids, including long walks, coffee shops, bookstore, library and ice cream. We will definitely be utilizing Sandra’s services in the future and strongly recommend that you do too!

Hello! I'm an educator based in Dartmouth with extensive experience working with infants to school-age children. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 and have spent every summer in camps or daycares, making this my full-time passion. I truly love being around children; they bring me so much joy. As a big sister to four, I enjoy being a supportive and caring figure in their lives. I'm dedicated to providing your child with the best care possible and am grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact.

Amanda B., Babysitter in New Bedford, MA 02740 with 4 years of paid experience

With 13 years of hands-on experience working with children on the autism spectrum, I am deeply passionate about supporting each child’s unique journey of growth and development. I work with children starting as young as two years old, helping to build strong developmental foundations during the most important early years. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive knowledge in behavior support, communication strategies, and individualized care, allowing me to create safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can thrive. In addition to my direct care experience, I also provide supportive household services, including housekeeping, meal preparation, home organization, and transportation to appointments. I understand the importance of creating a well-rounded, structured environment that supports both the child and their family. I hold multiple certifications in special needs education and autism support, which have strengthened my ability to implement evidence-based techniques and adapt to each child’s specific needs. My approach is rooted in patience, understanding, and consistency, while always celebrating progress—big or small. I also have numerous professional references available that strongly support my experience, reliability, and dedication in this field. I am committed to building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families, working collaboratively to encourage independence, confidence, and meaningful development. My goal is always to make a positive, lasting impact in the lives of the children I support.
