Find experienced child care providers in Athol, MA

I truly value the opportunity to enrich the lives of young children and help them learn and grow. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education, and 25 years of experience caring for children from infants to teenagers, including babysitting, being a nanny/household manager, teaching preschool, teaching gymnastics, and coaching cheerleading. I also have my own small business (Braids and Butterflies Spa Parties), hosting spa parties for girls ages 4 to 12. I have been working with children my entire adult life, and couldn't see myself doing anything else. Finding the "right fit" is very important to me, as I believe that communication is key and things go much more smoothly when everyone is on the same page. Being a nanny is more than a job to me; I form lasting relationships with the families that I care for, and I take pride in becoming an extension of family to the children in my care. I'm a trustworthy, organized, capable self-starter, and I enjoy being out and about with children, doing fun activities or even everyday errands. I'm also a proud mom to a wonderful almost 5 yr old girl, who would be joining me. Kelsey is sweet, easy-going, and is used to working with me. She is very helpful and loves making friends! I like to keep busy and I'm open to doing other household tasks such as laundry, organizing, grocery shopping/errands. I drive a minivan and have a safe driving record, and excellent references! Ideally I am looking for 10-20 hours per week, but can be flexible and I am open to working with more than one family. Also interested in occasional babysitting. Thanks for reading, and hope to hear from you soon!

Hi there! My name is Sara! I am 23 years old and I am working towards becoming a parent educator. I love working with children and learning more about how they develop.

Hi! My name is Riley Wilson, and I am an incoming sophomore at Bridgewater State University. I can offer my services towards child and household care. I currently have my First Aid/CPR Certification from the YMCA; I have experience with 1 year olds under, 1-3 year olds, and 4 years old +. My experience has come from occasional babysitting along with babysitting at the church I regularly attend! I can cook/prepare meals, clean, run errands, provide transportation, do fun activities, go outside, and many other things! I am a patient, optimistic, active person and I can't wait to be in contact! Thank you :)

I absolutely love working with kids! I currently work as an assistant preschool teacher, and I have been actively involved in volunteering for kids for 4 years now. I have helped out with anything from babysitting to running play groups! Getting to work with kids is truly such a blessing and I am so grateful for the many opportunities that I have been given to work with them! I am CPR and First Aid certified and also have lots of experience tutoring and dog, cat, and house sitting. I am patient, responsible, and I love to play games or go outside!

Hi! I’m a responsible and caring 19-year-old high school graduate with a strong passion for childcare and development. I’ve completed a job shadow in an elementary school classroom, which gave me hands-on experience supporting young learners and understanding how to create a positive, engaging environment. I’ve also spent lots of time caring for my 5-year-old nephew, so I’m comfortable with daily routines, playtime, helping with meals, and keeping kids entertained in fun and creative ways. Safety is very important to me, and I am CPR certified. I’m patient, dependable, and love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Taking care of children has been such a joy in my life! It lets me look at the world with fresh eyes and do work that feels most natural to me- which is typically in caretaking roles. I aim to bring a sense of calm and safety to any child I look after and hope to work in environments that value that too.

I am an energetic sitter looking for work. I love nature and animals too. I have two golden retrievers, Belle and Brooklyn. I have many years of experience and also worked at a pre school as an assistant teacher. I enjoy the outdoors and I also think it’s important to stimulate children at young ages. I love arts and crafts and new experiences. I am responsible, trust worthy and reliable. I have my own vehicle and committed to stay busy on my free time.

Nurturing young minds is my passion. For the past two years, I've dedicated myself to providing attentive and engaging care to children. I am patient, creative, and friendly, and I strive to create a positive impact on each child's life while offering reliable support to families. My background includes some college, Early Childhood Education (ECE) coursework, and I hold certifications in First Aid Training and CPR Training. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules and happy to communicate with you using your preferred method, including verbal updates and text messages. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I am comfortable caring for one to three children at a time. I'm also happy to assist with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision. Knowing I can make a difference in a child's day brings me immense joy, and I look forward to the opportunity to connect with your family.

I am an experienced nanny/sitter with many years of having fun and building relationships with children of all ages and abilities. I SO enjoy watching each stage of a child's growth and development and love getting to be a part of all the fun steps along the way....I love music and making up silly songs, love to bake with the littles and do some arts and crafts because the kiddos can usually draw much better than I...lol. I also love to read books!! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile 😁 if you have any questions 😁
