Find experienced child care providers in Amherst, MA

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.

Hello! My name is Klara and I have been caring for children for 9 years, from toddlers to adolescents. I graduated in the spring of 2024 with a B.A. in psychology and minor in education, and am currently pursuing a M.Ed./Ed.S. degree in school psychology. I believe that play is essential for child development, and I strive to create a safe and fun environment where children can learn and grow. I love working with children because they bring such curiosity, energy, and honesty to every interaction. There is something incredible meaningful about helping them grow - not just academically, but emotionally and socially too. It's rewarding to be a part of their journey, watching them overcome challenges and discover their strengths, and I know that even small moments can have a lasting effect on how a child sees themselves and the world around them. I communicate openly with parents about their child's day, and am very comfortable enforcing household rules. I have training in both CPR/First Aid as well as Youth Mental Health First Aid. Lastly, I have a car and clean driving record, and am comfortable driving children to and from activities. Feel free to contact me to request references or if you have any further questions!
