Sittercity helps Deerfield families find the best child care providers

Hi! My name is Lenore and I recently from Asheville, NC over to western Mass. I have been around kids for most of my life in the form of babysitting, camp counseling, and daycares. I love working with kids of all ages as well as pets. I have recently received both my cna and bls certifications in the state of North Carolina.

Hi I’m Hannah! I’m a sophomore at UMass Amherst, studying nutrition and hoping to become a PA! I have 8 years of babysitting experience and love working with kids. During the summer I babysit as well as work at Winchester Hospital. I have experience with all age groups, and have worked as an elementary school substitute teacher, in the position of a one-on-one! I am CPR certified and have a car. I have a genuine passion for working with children and hope to do so in my career! I love to have fun with the kids I babysit, like going to the park, doing crafts, and baking!

Hello! My name is Kei and I have over eight years of experience caring for kids from a few months to 13 years old, including as a live-in caretaker for two kids for over two years. I believe children thrive socially and intellectually when they have compassionate, reliable, and flexible caretakers who are able to both establish mutual lines of respect and have fun with them! I've cared for both quiet kids and ones bursting with energy, and am very comfortable adjusting to their needs (and parental desires!) accordingly. I additionally have teaching and tutoring experience in education levels from Pre-K to high school, am athletic and musical, and can drive and cook.

Hi! I’m currently a junior at the University of Massachusetts majoring in communications. I’ve had three years of babysitting experience for children of all ages and am CPR and First Aid certified. I have my own car and am able to pick up/drop off children. I’m available to work weekdays after 4 pm on mondays/wednesdays, after 2 pm on Tuesdays/Thursdays and anytime on Sundays. Please feel free to reach out!

Hi, I’m Emma Bonin! I’m current college student studying psychology, with a focus in child psychology and care. I’m a dedicated student and a dedicated sitter. I’m energetic but easygoing, and happy to help. I’ve been babysitting for family and friends since middle school, but in recent years I’ve gained a lot more professional experience with all kinds of kiddos. I’ve been a babysitter, I’ve worked in a church nursery, I have done volunteer work for kids with cognitive and physical disabilities, and I’ve worked as a summer camp counselor. I love being a babysitter because I’ve always been told that I work well with children, and it’s so much more engaging and real to me than working behind a cash register. Childhood is the mist important and impactful stage of life, and it’s important to nurture every kid on their individual path. I love to be helpful however I can, so I’m great for assisting with rides, errands, light housework, and I’ve been told that I’m a pretty good cook/baker. I’d love to help your family next!

Hi there! I am a full-time social work student in the area seeking part-time work! I have extensive experience working with children in babysitting and clinical settings. This includes experience driving with children and caring for neurodivergent kiddos! I enjoy hands-on activities outside. I also went to school for fine arts, and I enjoy coming up with creative activities as well. I look forward to meeting you, and I'm sure I can be a great support for you and your family.

Hi!! I have been working as a babysitter for 7 years now and have worked with all age ranges from infant to pre-teen! Most recently, I’ve been a part-time nanny for two toddler girls and a morning helper for a 1 year old. I love doing crafts and playing outside with the kids. I’m comfortable driving kids if need be. I am a local college student, so my hours are pretty flexible. Please reach out with any questions! :)

Hi there! I'm Eleyna. I’m from Eastern MA, but I live in Greenfield now! Some of my hobbies include pottery, other various crafts, and cooking. For the past two years I've been a garden and food educator for elementary students in Holyoke. Before that I worked with middle and high school students in Austria, and before that I babysat for a wide range of ages, worked as a substitute teacher, and was an assistant teacher at an elementary after school program. I love working with kids, guiding their social emotional development, encouraging a sense of curiosity and scientific inquiry, and above all supporting them in learning through play!

I love caring for kids of all ages as there are always new things to do and explore with them. I find fun working with all age groups from babies to high schoolers. I have years of experience working at a summer art camp with kids from ages 4-13. There we had fun playing games, going on outdoor adventures, and making many collaborative arts and crafts projects. With kids under four I worked at a daycare for a few years where I was regularly working with babies and toddlers. Finally, with older kids 13+, I have taught music lessons and led games with that age group. I am first aid and CPR certified. Some things that I love are playing my instruments, reading fantasy books, musicals, dogs, horses, and outdoor adventures!

Hi there! My name is Ashley, and I am a 21-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!).
