Hello! I am a mom of two wonderful young adults adopted from foster care as toddlers. I was lucky to have provided nanny services for a new mom when I was younger, and did plenty of babysitting. I have been part of the baby cuddler program at Baystate Franklin Medical Center for 10+ years supporting high needs newborns and their moms. It has been an incredibly rich and rewarding experience. I have my own arts business which allows me to have flexibility with my schedule. I’d love to provide ongoing child care for your family that gives you the peace of mind and consistency you need. In my free time I go on walks with my pup Hunny Bunny, play ping pong and spend time with friends. I look forward to supporting you and your family by providing safe, reliable and fun care for your baby or toddler. Take care- Pam

I am a Career Development Counselor at Holyoke Community College. I use child development theory when working with children to meet kiddos where they are at developmentally. I love spending time with kids who are interested in drawing, doing crafts, reading books, and playing outside! I’m not a couch potato, so my focus would be on activities that involve the least amount of TV as possible :) I am fluent in Spanish & Urdu. As I have a full-time job, my babysitting availability is limited to date nights, weekends, and holidays.
