My name is Nicole (I go by Nicky), I’m 23 years old and currently reside in Western Massachusetts doing what I love! I am a full-time infant teacher at a day centre and love my job as I’ve always known I wanted to work with kids and it stems from when my family first adopted my little brother and we assisted in his orphanage. We helped plate out food, entertained the kids, and ensured they were getting all the tender loving care! I’ve always walked away feeling rewarded when working with kids, whether it be a hard or easy day. I started college at Umass Amherst and am planning to finish up at Greenfield Community College as a part-time student. I am majoring in Psychology (Child behaviour and development) in hopes of one day becoming a Child Therapist! During high school, I was a babysitter for one family and after I graduated (2020) I became a full-time nanny for a little girl and was with that family for 2.5 years and now an infant teacher:) I am a really open-minded, hardworking, and fun person who loves to learn and gain all types of experience! When I'm not around my kiddos, I love to go on walks, hikes, or any type of adventure with food at the end! However, when it is raining I will 100% be inside watching a movie/reading a book or at the gym grinding! I love dogs and cats but am not so great with reptiles or bugs:( A fun fact about myself is that I used to live in Spain not once but twice and loved it both times! I hope that one day I can go back to living next to the ocean:) If you have any questions please feel free to ask, I am an open book!

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!).

Bringing joy and nurturing care to children is my passion. For the past 10 years, I've had the privilege of fostering growth and development in children aged 0-11. I hold a college degree, First Aid and CPR recertification is in progress, and I have completed an Early Childhood Education degree (ECE) and Early Child Development coursework. My approach is patient, creative, and friendly. I enjoy engaging children with board games, puzzles, and educational activities. I follow parents' lead on household rules and communication preferences, providing regular updates at pickup or via text. I'm comfortable caring for up to 3 children and happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, and crafts. My goal is to provide a reliable and supportive environment for your family, and I look forward to the possibility of creating lasting memories with your little ones.
