Find experienced child care providers in Ashfield, MA

Hi there! I'm Eleyna. I’m from Eastern MA, but I live in Greenfield now! Some of my hobbies include pottery, other various crafts, and cooking. For the past two years I've been a garden and food educator for elementary students in Holyoke. Before that I worked with middle and high school students in Austria, and before that I babysat for a wide range of ages, worked as a substitute teacher, and was an assistant teacher at an elementary after school program. I love working with kids, guiding their social emotional development, encouraging a sense of curiosity and scientific inquiry, and above all supporting them in learning through play!

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!

Hello! I am newer to Franklin county and I'm currently looking for a occasional date night/errand night, or one-time opportunity.

Hi there! 👋 My name is Franchesca, and I’m a Preschool Teacher with 3 years of experience working with children ages 3–5. I absolutely love helping little ones learn, grow, and have fun through play-based activities. As an educator, I’m patient, nurturing, and creative — and I always prioritize safety and positive routines. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children, supporting bedtime routines, preparing simple meals/snacks, and engaging kids in educational, age-appropriate activities. I love doing crafts, storytime, sensory play, and outdoor exploration. Families often describe me as warm, reliable, and someone who instantly connects with children. I would love the opportunity to support your family — whether you need occasional date-night care, weekend help, or a consistent sitter. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Hello! My name is Kei and I have over eight years of experience caring for kids from a few months to 13 years old, including as a live-in caretaker for two kids for over two years. I believe children thrive socially and intellectually when they have compassionate, reliable, and flexible caretakers who are able to both establish mutual lines of respect and have fun with them! I've cared for both quiet kids and ones bursting with energy, and am very comfortable adjusting to their needs (and parental desires!) accordingly. I additionally have teaching and tutoring experience in education levels from Pre-K to high school, and can drive and cook.

I have experience working with both children with disabilities and children with challenging behaviors. I believe I have the skills and dedication to provide a fun, safe and nurturing environment for your child! My patient, caring, and loving nature allows me to connect with children on a deep level and understand their individual needs. I am able to maintain open lines of communication with parents, using their preferred method, be it verbal communication at pickup or regular updates via text or phone call. Whether it's outdoor activities, educational support, or board games, I'm always up for fun and engaging activities that promote learning and development! With my college degree in Early Childhood Education, CPR and First Aid certification, and deescalation trainings, I'm well-equipped to handle any situation that may arise. I hope I get a chance to meet you and your family, and be a welcoming helping hand!

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!).

I am CPR + First Aid and Osha 10 certified as well as have an active drivers licenses(over a year with it) and a working car. I will be heading to college for Children’s Early Care Education, in hopes to advance my career soon(financial issues).
