Find experienced babysitters in Oak Bluffs, MA

Hi! My name is Melissa. I have worked with children 0-5years of age, for many years. I am patient, caring, attentive, intuitive and loving. I have a joy for teaching, interacting/playing, creating art, curriculum and having fun exploring with each child’s creative mind. I love crafting, the outdoors, games, sports, healthy habits, music, drawing and painting as well as science experiments! I currently have an associate degree in Early Education and Administration, complemented by various certifications in early childhood development, first aid, cpr and infant courses. As a mother of four older children, I bring a wealth of personal experience to my work, understanding the balance between nurturing, structure, and fostering independence. Currently, I serve as the director of a childcare program, where I strive to create a positive, supportive environment for both children and staff. I previously ran and owned my own childcare for many years. Check out my work, Instagram at Missys_childcare_inc I’d love to connect with you and see if we’re a good fit!

I have loved working with children since before I can remember, I am naturally good with them and they enjoy being around me. I am a goofy nature loving person. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old, over the years I have created relationships with over a dozen children from many families, almost all of which I keep in touch with to this day. I have experience with all ages from infants to teenagers. I can’t wait to create a strong bond and help your child grow and thrive through adventures and experiences!

I love watching kids and have experience with ages infant- 11. I know how to cook and prepare meals as well. I’ve lived at boarding school for the past 3 years and have learned many skills.

With 10 years of experience in child care, I am all about ensuring a fun, safe and positive environment. I am very creative whether it is with teaching, activities, games, arts and crafts. I love creating long lasting relationships with families and I treat every child like they’re my own. I’ve had recent experience nannying twins starting with the family when they were 3 months old and now they are almost 3 years old. Watching kids grow and being a part of their growth is so special to me.

Thank you for letting me introduce myself! First and Foremost... I LOVE kids! Let's play and have fun! I am retired Preschool Director, Teacher, and am currently a Nanny. I am lucky to have, from my previous work, many happy kiddos and parents still in my circle of friends. For me, I find working with children is most rewarding and fulfilling. Children are a delightful gift, they bring so much joy, and make every day one of wonder and curiosity. I enjoy facilitating and being part of the growth of child's mind, healthy body, and spirit; My special interest, in all my work, has always been encouraging a child's social-emotional growth, and helping them develop strong self-esteem. I treat each child as an individual, with respect, with kindness, and with caring. As a trusted caregiver, each child’s personal health and safety is of utmost importance to me. I am a Newborn/Infant/Toddler Specialist, having guided many parents through all aspects of their first years as a family. Over my years as an Education professional, I have worked with children of many different backgrounds, abilities and challenges. I have 40 years worth of teaching, adventures, arts & crafts, singing, dancing, reading, storytelling, and creative imaginings in my toolbox (all of which keeps me young at heart!) My promise is to bring these skills to share with the children I am privileged to work with. I, in turn, continue to learn from children and the wisdom they have to share with us grown-ups. I am trained, and current, in Pediatric First Aid and Pediatric CPR. I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and happy to share proof of such. Thank you for your consideration!

Hi! I’ve been babysitting for over six years, caring for kids from 4 months to 10 years old. I also have experience in kindergarten classrooms and daycares, plus an early education certificate. I truly love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun in a safe, caring environment, it’s such a joy to be part of their world!

I am 19 and I have 2 younger sisters aged 11 and 9 so I have experience with younger children. I took a childhood development class in High school and I have a calm demeanor when it comes to handling children. I have never been paid to watch children before but I have taken care of my siblings and cousins before. I love being engaging and having fun. I love to turn everyday activities into fun times to encourage practices. I do have experience in changing diapers, feeding, cleaning up, and changing clothing. I consider myself a shy and kind person who is all about rules! I have a clean slate of a record and I have multiple high school achievements to prove that I am involved! I do think I am an over prepared person so I love to know every single detail before I do things. I also really enjoy engaging with childlike activities like coloring, watching cartoons, and playing games so it will never be boring with me!
