I have 23 years experience as a Professional Nanny caring for children from premature twins / triplets to teenage years.The following are just a few examples of the children I cared for . For 3 years I was sitting for a little boy who is now 6 yrs old . He was 2 months ( premature) when I started caring for him . When the child turned 3 years old, the family felt it was time for him to start daycare/ preschool therefore my last day was on Thursday, 11/30/18. I’ve also cared for twin premature girls full time for approximately 8 months however they had to move due to the family transferring to another country . I also cared for middle school children ( 2 boys and 1 girl ) .

II decided to go back to school to get my certifications as a Personal Trainer and Nutritional Specialist. Worked with clients in their homes , gym .. and volunteeed at my daughters elementary school where I founded and ran 2 programs called the Healthy Kids Klub - walk to school and kiddie boot camp. Along with sitting now I’m also a distributor for Nu Skin which is done on social media so I make my own hours . My heart is with caring for children however. Helping them reach their milestones no matter which age they are . Knowing that I am / was even a small part of each child’s growth and development throughout the years and watching them grow into intelligent, beautiful ( inside and out ) , caring individuals makes it all worth it! ** References and resume available upon request ** currently in the process of receiving my infant care specialist certification via online ** Currently have open availability including days , evenings, overnights weekends ( date nights and overnights including NYE ! ) ** parents must agree to guaranteed hours ( paid ) / 24 hr cancelation policy for date nights Rates are determined per sittercity calculations and are based on age and number of children, responsibilities, location / distance and experience

Breanna M., Babysitter in New Bedford, MA 02740 with 7 years of paid experience

My name is Dillon (listed as my legal name due to site requirements), and I’m a transgender caregiver with over 5 years of professional nannying experience. I’ve worked long-term with three families, primarily caring for children between 4 months and 4 years old. I’ve been with my current family since their daughter was 4 months—she’s now almost 3 and starting preschool this fall, which opens up my availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting in September. I bring a calm, creative, and developmentally supportive presence to the families I work with. I love teaching sign language and reading with little ones, and I favor structure and routine—consistent nap and mealtimes, regular library classes, and daily outings to parks or play spaces. I’m not currently CPR certified but am happy to retake the course before starting with a new family. I’m also comfortable with pets! I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit.
