Maureen was absolutely wonderful with our 2-3 year old, reliable and consistent for a regular sitting position over several months. Our daughter LOVES her, and so do we. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Hi! I’m a caring and reliable nanny with over 5 years of paid experience working with children from infants to preschool age. I’ve spent years in childcare center, and I’m currently in school pursuing my degree in Early Childhood Development, so I love bringing both hands-on experience and what I’m learning into my work. I’m all about creating a warm, safe, and fun environment where kids can learn, play, and just be themselves. Whether it’s helping with routines, planning little activities, or just being a supportive, positive presence, I truly enjoy what I do and love building strong connections with the families I work with.❤️

Kiara is amazing with our 5 and 1 year old girls. They get excited when we tell them she's coming over. She is so good at interacting with them, and making them feel safe to be themselves. Only thing I'd change is I wish there were 2 of her!

Hi! My name is Olivia. I am 22 years old. I nannied a little girl full-time for a year, starting when she was 4 months. I have also been formally babysitting since I was 13, although I have always loved playing with kids and helping out in things like my church nursery. With my past babysitting jobs I have done things like taking the kids outside, playing hide-and-seek and tag, drawing with chalk, building legos, reading books, and playing imaginary games with them. I have briefly been a nanny for a 7 year old girl and an informal nanny for many different families over the years. I also most recently worked as the after-school coordinator for a classical Christian school. My dream is to someday be a stay-at-home mom, so doing housework is a passion of mine. In the midst of babysitting, I always try to keep the environment clean and leave it neater than I found it. I am a Christian and as a result I try to always be honest and caring as I seek to glorify and honor my Savior. I'm excited to work with you!

Olivia is nice. She came in on time and was flexible enough to stay another extra hour.

Hi! My name is Natalie Scott. I live in Wilbraham with my three older brothers and my two parents, and my dog Charlotte. My first job was working at a daycare and I really liked it, I took myself out of that position because there was not enough hours, and there was a monthly pay. While working in the daycare I was first aid certified, and a few others that were needed. I really like kids, babies especially they're my favorite. I always have a happy attitude with children because I think they're funny. In school I am around all types of people with special needs, I enjoy being around them just as much as any other child. I am a very responsible person. I have worked many different places so I am prepared for kids that like to jump and play, and kids who just like to sit. I am not easily manipulated, meaning if you give me rules I will follow them even if the child does not want to. I like to clean as well, I like things looking nice so cleaning up is a big part of me as well. I have my own car, so very reliable transportation. I am over 18 years old. I get good grades in school so I am more than happy to help with homework! Thank you!

Hi to who is reading this! I hope your day has been well :) To start off, I am an ENFP according to my Myers Briggs personality test, which means I am very outgoing, caring and easy to get along with! I love to work with kids because it’s amazing to see them grow and develop into our future leaders. I have graduated from undergrad with a bachelor’s degree in Recreational Therapy, and it’s been amazing to use my skills with kids — teaching proper play skills, doing fun crafts, integrating sensory stimulation, playing games, and simply just having fun!! It’s all about giving kids a better quality of life. I would be delighted to bring some fun for your child and be a helping hand for your fam! Recently graduated with my Doctorate of Occupational Therapy, my goal is to be able to help kids with the developing years of life and give them a great jumpstart to their dreams. Feel free to message me if you have any other questions and I would be happy to answer! Please note I am fully vaccinated and CPR Certified. I own my own car as well. Take care now, and looking forward to hearing from you!
