I am a pediatric occupational therapist student looking to connect with a few families while in school. I grew up in a large family and began working professionally with children at 16. I have worked in other fields and always find myself coming back to pediatrics. My last professional job before school was working for Westfield Headstart. I absolutely loved the opportunity and was heartbroken to leave the job for college. I have experience working with children from 8 weeks old through 10 years old, extensive twin infant experience and experience with special needs children (adhd, asd). I am trained in medicine administration, CPR and firstaid and transport kids frequently from school to home or to sports. The thing I love most about being a nanny/sitter is the personal relationships with the families, getting to watch the kids grow and communicating with parents about goals and working towards them.

Ali has been an absolute gift to our family, caring for our twins since they were just 4 months old. She’s independently managed both of their schedules from day one — no small feat, and something not many people can say they’ve done! She is incredibly patient, caring, and knowledgeable, balancing her expertise with so much genuine kindness and empathy. She consistently goes above and beyond for our family, is always highly responsive, and is a wonderful source of thoughtful guidance and practical advice whenever we need it. One of the things we appreciate most about Ali is how respectful she is of our individual preferences and parenting style. She always works in partnership with us, never making assumptions or passing judgment, and makes us feel supported and confident as parents. Finding someone you truly trust with your babies is no small thing, and Ali brings so much peace of mind to our family. We truly couldn’t recommend her more highly to any family looking for not just exceptional childcare, but someone who is compassionate, thoughtful, dependable, and genuinely invested in the well-being of both the babies and their parents. Any family would be lucky to have her!

I love babysitting and working with kids. I think it's amazing to be able to help a child fulfill their potential, be it with school work or finally being able to build that perfect legos building. I've had a lot of experience with taking care of kids. I look after my cousins, age ranging from 2 years old to 12 years old, constantly.

Pabla I'd great with my baby daughter, who is excited each time she sees her. Pabla is organized and easy to communicate with, even showing me a calendar of her availability. She takes initiative with chores. Best of all she has warm and happy to engage with our whole family.

I am a higher educational professional who was born and raised in the Boston area. I have a Masters degree and work with students every day. I recently relocated to the Pioneer Valley to work at Amherst College! I have a plethora of babysitting experience from my four years in Boston. I have babysat children as young as 3 months old. I love babies and am very comfortable with them since many of my friends have children who I spend a lot of time with!! In Boston, I had several regular clients with kiddos ranging from 3 months to 7 years old. I also was a camp counselor and worked with 9 and 10 year olds so I am comfortable with all ages. I am incredibly organized, mature and trustworthy. I am also compassionate and attentive, always putting the children who I babysit first. I am trained in CPR and First Aid as well. I am an intelligent young professional and can work with people of all ages. I also am able to help with homework, particularly in French and Spanish! I love being silly with little kids, whether it is dancing around with them, getting on the floor or going outside in the backyard to play.

Hi!! I am located in Stoneham and have been working as a babysitter for 7 years now. I have worked with all age ranges from infant to pre-teen! Most recently, I’ve been a part-time nanny for two toddler girls and a morning helper for a 1 year old. I love doing crafts and playing outside with the kids. I’m comfortable driving kids if need be. :) Please reach out with any questions!

Madelyn is SUCH a great sitter. Our daughter, who can be really shy and scared of strangers, opened up to her immediately. She was never distracted by something else during her time at our house and was always talking to our daughter and engaging her, even before she could really say words. She's such a gem and we're so sad to leave the area because we can't have her all the time. The playroom was always clean at the end of their time together and she did a great job of changing diapers at the appropriate times.

After 10 years playing, teaching, and exploring with my nanny families in New York City, I am so excited to bring my passion for childcare to Western Massachusetts! I began nannying while studying at NYU, hoping to lend a hand to busy families. I coordinated school pickups, facilitated playdates, survived many infant swim lessons, helped with homework, gallivanted around the park, devised at-home science and art projects, and stewarded children ranging from 9 months-13 years old through their social-emotional development and adjustment to the world. I am especially interested in and adapt at working with young queer and trans children, as well as sensitive, introspective, and/or shy children. My drive for nannying came from my experience growing up with a single mom: I saw firsthand how invaluable trusted sitters were for my development, and it would be a joy to become apart of your family's village!
