Hello, my name is Michaela. I am currently a student in the nursing program at the community college and looking to see if I can help anyone out with after school/nights! Any hours after 2:30pm will work!

Hi there! I'm a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant working in pediatrics. Before this, I was a nanny/babysitter when needed for multiple families. I started back in 2013. Looking to work evenings or date nights when needed. I am First Aid and CPR certified. Please reach out if you have any questions!

Hi, I'm Carrie-Lee! I've been married to my incredible husband for 22 years and together we raised three wildly different humans, none of whom came with a manual! My oldest is living his mountain Maine dream. This past year the whole family came together for his yurt-raising, which was one of the coolest days of my life. My middle kid is heading into their senior year at Keene State fully immersed in the world of theatre tech, making sure the show always goes on. And my youngest spent her freshman year at Berklee's campus in Spain and is now heading into her sophomore year in Boston. She’s a vocalist doing exactly what she was born to do and I’m sure I’m her biggest fan. So, my philosophy is that you are the expert on your baby. My job is to support, educate when asked, and help you trust yourself. To tell you what's normal, what's not, when it might be time to call your pediatrician, and when to just take a breath because you're doing better than you think. I'm laid back, calm under pressure, and I genuinely love this work. In all my years of experience, I've been in real emergencies and I don't panic. I've been up at 3am with a screaming newborn and I don't spiral. I show up, I help, and I make sure you feel more confident when I leave than when I arrived. I’m a recently retired blocker for Cape Cod Roller Derby. I love archery but don’t get to it as often as I like. I have a pretty prolific container garden. I enjoy cooking, canning and preserving foods. And recently I’ve been getting increasingly into birding which I’m figuring out is apparently a rite of passage as we age? Bring on the granny hobbies I guess! Reach out if you want to see if we’re a good fit to work together or for networking calls, any time!

Hi! My name is Claire, and I am a 19-year-old student at Merrimack College who has lived on Cape Cod my entire life. Caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I grew up helping take care of my younger siblings, including twins, and those experiences taught me how important patience, responsibility, and consistency are when working with kids. Over the years, I have also gained babysitting experience with other families and have developed a genuine love for creating a fun and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I understand that every child is different, and I enjoy getting to know their unique personalities and interests. Whether we are playing games, spending time outside, working on homework, or winding down for bedtime, I always try to make children feel safe, engaged, and valued. Parents can trust that I will treat their children with kindness and respect while providing dependable care and maintaining open communication. I take pride in being someone families can rely on and would love the opportunity to help support your family.

Hi, I'm Betsy. I have been working with young children for over 35 years as a teacher and a babysitter. My most recent position was a nanny for a family for 5 years. I started when the 5 year old was 2 months. After about two years, the twins arrived! I was responsible for caring for a three year old and twin infants up until the children were 5 and 3. The children all went off to school this fall and I miss them dearly. I also miss having rewarding experiences with young children. Caring for and engaging with children is the most fulfilling experience to me. I was an integrated preschool teacher for over 15 years. I also spent 10 years as an ABA therapist and 1:1 aide working with children on the autism spectrum. I have led classes for parents focusing on early childhood development. I am certified in infant and child CPR and First Aid. I have my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and my Master’s degree in severe special education. I have a daughter who is 26 and my son is 23. Being a mom myself, I will be providing the nurturing care you are expecting for your children. The connection between parent and caregiver is extremely important. I feel it is based on trust, communication and comfort level and that's what you will find with me. I will always leave the parents an outline of the things we did together that day. My goal is that your children are happy, that they feel safe and are constantly learning through play, when they are in my care. I always bring age appropriate songs, books and activities with me! Along with playing and being active with your child, I’ll always be teaching them new age appropriate things skills through our play! I love creating new experiences and projects that are fun and exciting for them to learn from. I look forward to hearing from you!
