Sittercity helps Becket families find the best child care providers

Hello! My name is Elise, I am currently a student entering my third year at University of Massachusetts Amherst majoring in both Astronomy and Physics. I have experience working in both public and private child care, and I absolutely love the energy and environment that children create. I am always intrigued by abstract thinking, and I find that children are particularly proficient at this, each in their own unique way. They demonstrate an extraordinary array of skills and creativity, and it is amazing to watch them create new worlds and find unconventional solutions that I never would have thought of. The opportunity to help facilitate a child's process of navigating their worlds, all on the physical, emotional, and mental level, is extraordinary. I find so much joy witnessing a child’s sense of wonder, knowing that whatever they are thinking and experiencing will only lead to more questions and excitement. There have been times when I have learned something from a child as well. I strive to create a symbiotic relationship, which allows all of us to learn and experience things in our own fun and positive way.

I love engaging kids through games, fun activities, and outdoor play, ensuring they’re always entertained and safe. I’m reliable, caring, and excited to offer my experience and energy to your family this summer!

Hello! Working with kids has always seemed like a fun job and I'd love to be able to work more with them! As a robotics summer camp counselor I get to work hands on with a group of kids and as a previous babysitter I watched 3 kids ranging from 4-11 so I'm up for anything!

Hi I’m Trevor. I’m a young, fun male sitter who is very negotiable in terms of what services you require. Whether it’s babysitting, daycare, etc. The same is said for my pay I am very negotiable and will work for the lowest amount possible maybe even lower whatever works best with you. I am available 24/7, 7 days a week and am great with kids. We can have plenty of fun together all while I’m making sure they’re safe and not being influenced by anything negative. In wake of Coronavirus, I will make sure as little germs are spread as possible and that whoever I’m caring for washes their hands and stays clean as can be. Not very strict with terms so I’ll work with whatever works best with you! I can’t wait to hear from you :)
