Momina S.
- 5 years paid experience

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.

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

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.

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.

I absolutely love kids and have been a babysitter for over 7 years! I have worked with children of all ages and also have experience with caring for children with disabilities. I have lived with my little cousins (4 and 6 years old) for several years so I also gained experience in childcare by caring for them. I am a pre-med student at UMass Amherst, double majoring in biology and psychology and a member of the commonwealth honors college. I hope to go to medical school and work in pediatrics after I complete my undergraduate studies! When babysitting, some activities I enjoy doing with kids are baking, playing sports/outside, making crafts, and playing board games, but I’m definitely open to other activities as well.

Hello! My name is Sydney and I am an experienced childcare provider looking for part time babysitting/nannying near Amherst, MA. Nannying has brought me so much joy, and I would love to find a family to really connect with in Massachusetts. In Minnesota, I have multiple families that I nanny for and am very close with, and when I have to go to school it's hard because I don't have little kiddos to watch over here. I am a senior at Umass with one more year left before I complete my undergrad and masters degrees.
