Maddy H., Child Care in Chester, MA 01011 with 11 years of paid experience

I am 24 years old I live in Enfield CT (I’m not sure why it won’t let me change my location) I have been babysitting for 8 years and nannying for 3 years. I have experience with all ages but I have a soft spot for infants. I love too cook, clean, dance, do crafts, and go on walks. I am very into child development and hitting milestones. I also have worked in a daycare facility before but it wasn’t my passion. I love taking the kids for drives and to see the environment. Please feel free to message me if you are interested!

I’ve worked as a tutor, summer camps (2023,2024); and I am the site coordinator at a school near my university. As a site coordinator I’ve watched up to 22 kids, and managed my associates! I speak fluent Tamil and born in America, so fluent English as well! I am EEC, First AID, and EEC certified, and have all my redwoods certificates done! My favorite things to do are to be outdoors, cook, bake, crafts, and am very adaptable in a multitude of settings!

Shugi has looked after my boys (ages 4 & &) a couple of times and they keep asking for her to come back! Shugi proactively communicates, is trustworthy, punctual and reliable.

Hi! My name is Chelsea Daly, I’m messaging you about the nanny position you posted about. I started babysitting fifteen years ago, I took a few part-time jobs early in my professional nanny career until I transitioned to full-time. At this time I have been a full-time nanny consistently for the past ten years, in which I have been lucky enough to have mostly long-term positions. I recently parted ways with a family I had been with for five years and started working with a family a few months ago. I am thinking about parting ways as I feel it may just not be a good fit so I’m seeking other options. I started working with my last long-term family when the now 5 year old was 7 months old, I have watched their almost 4 year old since the day she came home from the hospital as well as their twins that arrived in January! I mostly have experience caring for infants and toddlers, but I have worked with various age groups since I began working in childcare. I plan activities and outings for the babies/kids during the week such as going to the park, museums and zoos, the beach, story times at the library and much more! I have a reliable vehicle and I can provide multiple recommendation letters and references. If you think I might be a good fit, I’d like to talk more about the position! Hope to hear from you!

Amy S., Child Care in Chester, MA 01011 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m Amy and I’m looking for new nanny position starting summer 2021. I have been a full time nanny for over 8 years, with about 16 years experience working with young children in varying capacities (preschool teaching, daycare, babysitting etc). I have a bachelors degree in psychology with a focus on child psych and development and I am an EEC certified infant/toddler/preschool teacher but I much prefer nannying to teaching! I have experience with multiples, special needs, and overnight care. My favorite things to do with the children in my care are reading, crafts, and outdoor adventures! In my spare time I enjoy cooking, hiking with my dog Sawyer, doing yoga and reading. Thanks for your consideration and I hope to hear from you soon!

Leanora K., Child Care in Chester, MA 01011 with 10 years of paid experience

As a passionate childcare provider with 10 years of experience, I am dedicated to nurturing and educating children. My journey began with fulfilling babysitting roles, where I discovered my natural ability to connect with children and positively impact their lives and mine. I have also worked in daycare, school, and nanny roles. Supporting families and providing reliable childcare became my mission. My patient and calm nature allows me to handle any situation with composure, while my creativity and imagination make learning and play fun and engaging. I believe in open and honest communication with parents, providing a partnership to address anything. Ensuring a safe and structured environment for the children in my care while still having fun is a passion of mine. From outdoor adventures to educational games, I enjoy a variety of activities that encourage physical, mental, and emotional development. I am moving from Mass to Utah in late June early July. I’m moving out there with my fiancé because he is in the airforce. We will be living out there for about a year and then relocating back to MA. During that year I am looking for full time or two part time jobs in child care. I am teacher, CPR and First aid certified. I’m currently in nursing school in MA at Westfield State, while taking classes I have been doing lots of child care in people homes on the side. Prior to being in school I was a daycare teacher and have cared for newborns up to children 12 years old. Let me know if I sound like I could be a good fit for your family or if you have any question! Thank you

Kelly C., Child Care in Chester, MA 01011 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm a stay-at-home mom to two wonderful daughters, and caring for children is truly where my heart is. Becoming a mom has shown me how meaningful it is to nurture, encourage, and celebrate every stage of a child's growth. I love creating a safe, loving environment where children feel happy, confident, and supported as they learn and explore the world. I'm a patient, dependable, organized, and detail-oriented caregiver who believes children learn best through play, creativity, and everyday experiences. Whether we're doing crafts, reading, exploring nature, or playing at the park, I love to plan ahead, simply inspired by raising my two kiddos! Spending time outdoors is one of my favorite ways to play, discover and grow. My family and I enjoy nature walks, playground adventures, gardening, and exploring local parks. On rainy days, we love visiting the children's museum, attending library story times and playgroups, baking together, creating crafts, and if we are lucky, napping! As a parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your child. I know the value of open communication, consistency, patience, and providing attentive, loving care. My goal is always to make children feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for while giving parents peace of mind! During school hours, I am available to provide dedicated one-on-one care for your child. In the summer, my 4 year old daughter is with me all day. She begins preschool in September, (time flies) while my 9 year old attends summer camp. Mornings and evenings, before and after school/camp, my own children will be with me, and I would be happy to care for your child during those times as well if you're comfortable with a family-oriented setting. My girls are so friendly and love to socialize, play and build friendships! I would prefer to care for your child in my home while I am also caring for my children. You can come by anytime to see our fun toys and yard to play in! My husband and I are cori checked with Westfield Public Schools and are CPR/First Aid trained. My husband is out of the house working until 5pm. I do drop off/pickup of my children at school. I can include your kiddo in these short trips if care is needed during those times. I can help with pick up/drop off for your child if needed. I would be honored to become a trusted part of your family's support system and provide the kind of nurturing, dependable care that helps your child thrive.

Kate O., Child Care in Chester, MA 01011 with 5 years of paid experience

While I work now as a pediatric Occupational Therapy Assistant (elementary level), I got my start babysitting and doing vital tasks like making Mac and cheese and fighting off the zombie apocalypse. I’m big on outdoor play, creative play with multi sensory materials, reading (or writing!!) books, dance parties, and - every now and again - making a fort, a bowl of popcorn, and turning the place into a movie theater. In my professional day job, I actually get to play a lot, but I also work on homework, handwriting, math, and functional skills ... so while your child may not find that of interest, YOU might :)

Hailey S., Child Care in Chester, MA 01011 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Hailey, and I have a true passion for working with young children, especially babies through preschool age. I love being able to help little ones learn, grow, and feel safe and cared for during such important early years of development. Watching children build confidence, discover new things, and develop their personalities is incredibly rewarding to me. I recently worked at Woodside Children’s Center for the past three years, where I primarily worked with toddlers and preschool-aged children. During my time there, I gained valuable experience creating engaging activities, supporting emotional and social development, maintaining routines, and helping children learn through play. I also have experience caring for babies and twins as well. My passion for teaching and caring for children began in high school when I participated in the Laboratory Preschool Program at Westfield High School. That experience inspired me to continue my education at Holyoke Community College, where I studied Early Childhood Education. While I did not complete my degree, I chose to begin working full time in childcare so I could gain hands-on experience doing what I love most. I pride myself on being patient, nurturing, dependable, and attentive, and I truly enjoy building strong relationships with both children and parents. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a caring, fun, and safe environment for your little ones!
