Alexina R., Babysitter in Russell, MA 01071 with 6 years of paid experience

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!

Lindsey W., Babysitter in Russell, MA 01071 with 16 years of paid experience

Hello, I'm a career nanny of 16 years with children of different age developments. I'm a Mom to a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old girl. I have taken care of multiples starting from infant age up to 7 years of age. I understand the physical and emotional demands of working with children and have the perfect blend of patience, energy, compassion, responsibility and fun. I have excellent verbal, listening and written communication skills to effectively work with parents. I have attended National Nanny Training Day two different years. I am a Newborn Care Specialist. I have taken an online Car Seat Safety course and keep up to date on my CPR, First Aid, and AED certifications as your children's safety is of utmost importance to me. I hope to be able to take all of my experience and be the best nanny I can be.

Lindsey nannied for our two boys, then 6 months and 2.5 years. She started with us following my return from maternity leave and in a very difficult post-pandemic era, during which my 2.5 year old struggled with transitions. She handled many a tantrum with grace and patience, with a smile on her face, and helped us navigate potty-training. She is flexible and accommodating, and leaves the house sparkling clean. She goes above and beyond - including by spending her free time researching behavioral development guidance for toddlers and ways to get picky eaters to ingest more calories. We are really going to miss her and her sweet baby boy. She is a true professional and any family would be lucky to have her!

Gabrielle D., Babysitter in Russell, MA 01071 with 7 years of paid experience

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!

Bianka T., Babysitter in Russell, MA 01071 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello, I’m bianka! I’m a 20 year old college student who’s been working with kids for about 4 years now. I am currently a junior majoring in communication sciences and disorders and studying to be a speech pathologist. I studied early childcare at my vocational high school. There, I volunteered at an elementary school working in kindergarten classrooms and then proceeded to start at the daycare I currently work at. At this daycare I am a certified preschool teacher working with children aged 2.9-5 years old. More recently, I also gained some experience and become certified to work with infant/toddler age group. I’m a very kind person who really makes an effort to create a bond with the children I care for. I’m willing to help as much as I can and love playing, coloring and more. I’m also CPR and first aid certified and have a vehicle of my own. Unfortunately I am in the middle of a school semester and spend a lot of my day hours at my daycare job, but I’m definitely willing to do one-time or occasional jobs for now if that’s what you’re looking for!

Leanora K., Babysitter in Russell, MA 01071 with 10 years of paid experience

As a passionate childcare provider with 10 years of experience, I am dedicated to nurturing and educating children. My journey began with fulfilling babysitting roles, where I discovered my natural ability to connect with children and positively impact their lives and mine. I have also worked in daycare, school, and nanny roles. Supporting families and providing reliable childcare became my mission. My patient and calm nature allows me to handle any situation with composure, while my creativity and imagination make learning and play fun and engaging. I believe in open and honest communication with parents, providing a partnership to address anything. Ensuring a safe and structured environment for the children in my care while still having fun is a passion of mine. From outdoor adventures to educational games, I enjoy a variety of activities that encourage physical, mental, and emotional development. I am moving from Mass to Utah in late June early July. I’m moving out there with my fiancé because he is in the airforce. We will be living out there for about a year and then relocating back to MA. During that year I am looking for full time or two part time jobs in child care. I am teacher, CPR and First aid certified. I’m currently in nursing school in MA at Westfield State, while taking classes I have been doing lots of child care in people homes on the side. Prior to being in school I was a daycare teacher and have cared for newborns up to children 12 years old. Let me know if I sound like I could be a good fit for your family or if you have any question! Thank you

Alexis H., Babysitter in Russell, MA 01071 with 7 years of paid experience

I'm a fun-loving, reliable career nanny with over 7 years’ experience, based in Holyoke. I bring patience, warmth and close attention to every child I care for, taking the time to appreciate each child’s unique personality. My interests include the arts and sciences, cooking, swimming, and spending ample time in nature. My hope is to always foster self-confidence, curiosity, and the joy of exploration! This April I completed a one-year contract working with a toddler - now 2 years old - and it was such a priceless experience watching him grow and becoming part of his inner circle that I would now prioritize a similar position starting with a baby (or babies) of similar age, whom I can stay with for the long-term! I’m certified in Infant First Aid/CPR through the Red Cross until August of 2027 and up-to-date on all vaccinations, including Covid, flu and MMR. I love all the pets and I'm available to start immediately!
