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 9 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. Thank you. Look forward to connecting with great families!

Sandra was amazing with my toddler, I was a bit nervous as this was my first time having her watch my son, but she was very attentive and playful with me son! I highly recommend her to everyone that needs a babysitter!

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.

Hello and thank you for reading my profile. I've been nannying for families for a total of 6 years now and it's something that I truly enjoy. I've had the opportunity to work and become apart of some great families throughout the years. Generally, the families that I've cared for have anywhere from 1-4 children but working at a preschool has prepared me to be responsible for up to 10 children under 6, at a time, in a classroom setting. I'm comfortable with caring for children of all ages. English is my first language but I do have an elementary understanding of Spanish. Hello and thank you for reading my profile. I've been nannying for families for a total of 10 years now and it's something that I truly enjoy. I've had the opportunity to work and become apart of some great families throughout the years. Working for so many families has helped me create and fine tune my own teaching and parenting philosophy. I recently had my own little one and I am hoping to find a family with a yearling/toddler around the same age, who follows a similar approach to child development and teaching method as I do to care for from my home.

Hello, my name is Alyssa and I am 28 years old. I have a bachelors in psychology and I just graduated with my teaching degree in Early Childhood. I have been working with school-aged children for 7 years. I worked at the YMCA for 5 years in the school-age childcare department. While working with the kids, I supervised them while they ate their snack, helped with homework, and did crafts with them. I am currently working in the New Bedford Public School System as a special education preschool teacher. I previously taught in Fall River Public Schools as a Special Education Teacher in a Kindergarten classroom! Not only do I have experience working with children in a formal setting, I also have experience working with younger children due to having the chance to babysit family members and family friends' children. Besides having my teaching license, I am also certified in OSHA, First Aid and CPR, along with having my babysitting certification assigned by American Red Cross.

Hi! My name is Morgan, and I’m 24 years old with a Bachelor’s degree in Education. I have over 10 years of childcare experience working with children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. For the past two years, I worked as a full-time nanny, providing individualized care, supporting developmental milestones, and helping families manage their day-to-day routines.

I look forward to helping your family! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to connect! 😊
