For the past two years I've been a garden and food educator for elementary students in Holyoke.

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!

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 an experienced childcare provider with over 10 years of nannying experience, caring for children from newborns to teenagers. I am passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can learn and grow.

With a background in music, I am also happy to provide lessons for children who are interested. I value building strong, positive relationships not only with the children but with the entire family. I pride myself on my easy-going, go-with-the-flow attitude while still being reliable, organized, and flexible. I am comfortable with school pick-ups, drop-offs, and managing busy schedules.

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!
