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

Hi there! My name is Ashley, and I am a 22-year-old undergraduate student. I have had plenty of experience working with kids, whether it was as a camp counselor or an as-needed babysitter for neighbors and friends. I also worked with kids for several years as a junior Taekwondo instructor. I am reliable and patient, and I am resourceful in challenging situations. I am also physically fit and enjoy getting active and involved with whatever the kids are doing, like going to parks, riding bikes, stomping around in puddles, or playing with action figures or dolls. I think being attentive as well as being involved is what helps foster trust between the kids and me, no matter how old they are (and it makes the job fun!). I also have skills in cooking, cleaning (and organizational skills), and basic first aid. I am CPR certified as of November (2024). I am available to take care of pets, too (I have plenty of my own at home!).

Hello everyone, my name is Ally! I am currently 23 and just graduated from Mount Holyoke College with a bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education! I have been caring for children for about 6 years now. I also have two younger brothers! I have lots of experience caring for toddlers and middle aged kids. I have had experience preparing food, doing laundry, helping with homework, playing, and light house keeping as well. My experience coming from past babysitting jobs, student teaching, daycare, teacher’s assistants, and substituting! I absolutely love to be around kids. I love that they can make me laugh and brighten my day. I love approaching them as an individual that I can teach and watch grow. My past experiences have been nothing short of amazing. People would describe me as fun, caring, kind, passionate, and reliable. I think building bonds with the kids you work with is very important. I want to help them explore their creativity, build upon new ideas, be adventurous, and of course, have fun! Some fun facts about me are that I love to horseback ride, I love rollercoasters, and I love to play tennis. I also love almost every animal there is, and I love being outside. I am looking for a regular schedule and hopefully lots of hours! I would love 30-40 hours a week! I would also be happy to provide references upon request! I can’t wait to get to know you and your children! Please feel free to reach out with any more questions!
