Find experienced child care providers in Ashfield, MA

Hi! My name is Caroline, and I am a painter, and currently, a barista living in Sunderland, MA. While I have worked a variety of jobs in different fields, I have always worked with kids in one way or another since I was 17, between summer camps, lots of babysitting, and the after-school program I spent the last two years working for. I am very passionate about the arts, outdoorsy adventures, and mindfulness activities such as yoga and journaling, and I love finding ways to share my interests with children!

I love being a sitter because it comes easy to me. I have been babysitting since about 12 years old and I have never been sick of it! I have also been a counselor at a summer camp for the last 5 years so I am certified in first aid and CPR.

Hello! I have always loved being around children and was always referred to as the “baby whisperer” in my family.

I have experience helping care for kids in both structured and relaxed environments, and I always aim to create a safe, supportive, and fun atmosphere where children can feel comfortable being themselves. I’m attentive to each child’s individual needs and enjoy engaging them in activities like reading, creative play, crafts, and quiet time when needed. I’m also comfortable helping with routines such as meals, bedtime, and light tidying related to the children.

Hi Families! My name is Erin Kilraine, and I recently moved to the Sunderland, Massachusetts area from Walpole, MA. I have over 10 years of childcare experience and am currently looking to connect with families needing weekend babysitting, date nights, occasional help, or backup care. I absolutely love working with children and have spent many years caring for kids of all ages. I’ve been lucky enough to work long-term with amazing families — including one family for 6 years and another for 4 years. Building strong relationships with both children and parents has always been one of my favorite parts of nannying. I am responsible, patient, nurturing, and dependable, and I always strive to create a safe, fun, and caring environment for the children I care for. Whether it’s playing games, helping with bedtime routines, preparing meals/snacks, or simply giving parents peace of mind during a night out, I genuinely enjoy being there to help. I am also currently in nursing school working toward becoming a pediatric nurse, which has strengthened my passion for caring for children and families even more. I would love to connect and see if I could be a good fit for your family’s occasional babysitting needs. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! Warmly, Erin Kilraine

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.

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!).
