Find experienced child care providers in Essex, MA

I hold a degree in Child Development and Early Childhood Education and have extensive experience working with children. From 2009 to 2019, I taught preschool-aged children, fostering their growth and development through engaging activities and personalized care. In 2019 and 2021, I worked as a Head Camp Counselor at a Girl Scout Camp, where I planned and led programs to create a fun and enriching environment. In 2022, I was promoted to Program Manager at the camp, further expanding my leadership and organizational skills. Additionally, I have hands-on experience as a nanny for two children, ages 2 and 4, and babysat for a family with a toddler from 2022 until the end of January. My responsibilities include preparing simple meals, assisting with potty training, and keeping the child engaged through indoor and outdoor activities. During the spring I babysat a one year old a few times. This summer I have been babysitting a six and ten year old. I also babysat 20 month year old twins a few times recently. Working with children has always been my passion, and I am currently seeking a babysitting position a few days during the week with preschool or elementary-aged children. My goal is to provide a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment for the children in my care.

I have over two years of experience as a professional nanny, caring for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged kids. Before becoming a nanny, I had extensive experience taking care of children in different settings, including babysitting for family and friends and assisting with childcare in community programs. Throughout my time as a babysitter I have developed strong skills in creating engaging activities, supporting early childhood development, and maintaining a structured yet fun environment. I’m experienced in meal preparation, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping, ensuring a smooth day for both children and parents. I am currently in the process of renewing my CPR certification to ensure I’m fully prepared for any emergency situations. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive.

I've worked in childcare since sophomore year of high-school doing after school programs and babysitting. I am CPR certified and have plenty of experience with children from infant to middle school, as well as children with autism and other neurodiversities. I firmly believe in patience, calm voices, and creative solutions when working with children. I like to meet kids where they're at and form trust between us so we can get along well and respect one another. Currently, I am 25 and looking to work with younger children of smaller families as I am dealing with difficulty working due to Ehlers Danlos and other disabilities. I can hold babies, change diapers, make bottles and cook, play, and put kids down for nap, but struggle with lots of running and very active play due to my physical limitations, as well as long hours or several work days back to back. I am also trans and would like to work with welcoming and accepting families of the lgbt community.

With 10 years of experience in childcare—ranging from full-time nannying to teaching in special education elementary schools and middle schools—I have cared for children of various ages, from toddlers to pre-teens. I have a strong history of dependability and reliability. As a warm, patient, and creative nanny, I am able to form strong and trusting bonds with children. I enjoy engaging activities such as crafts, reading, outdoor play, and age-appropriate learning games, and am open to taking children on excursions in the community if desired.

Hi, my name is Laiane. I am 32 years old and I have strong experience caring for young children, especially babies and toddlers. I currently work full time with a family and have been with their child since he was 8 months old. He is now 3 years and 4 months old, so I have supported his development through many important stages, including introducing solid foods, sleep routines, walking, language development, potty training, and daily learning activities. I truly enjoy being part of a child’s growth process and creating a safe and positive environment for them. I am responsible, calm, attentive, and very committed to the families I work with. I also have experience helping with meals, bath time, routines, playtime, and organizing activities appropriate for each age. I am originally from Brazil. I speak Portuguese (native), English (intermediate), and conversational Spanish. I communicate well with children and families from different backgrounds. I have First Aid training, I am vaccinated, and I can provide references from families I have worked with. Currently, I am looking for occasional babysitting opportunities on weekends.

As a mom of two grown sons, I understand child development deeply and know how to create a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. I bring 21 years of hands-on experience across every stage and age: from infant care and nap routines, to activities, homework, busy, family, schedules, and keeping a household running smoothly (and more). I have a perfect/clean driving record, and am CPR and Stop the Bleed certified. I’m a dependable, organized, and warm caregiver who leads with empathy and authentic engagement. I also love all pets and have had them my whole life. I am very flexible with scheduling, and happy to assist with household tasks. I enjoy being helpful and making things easier for busy families!

Hi, I’m Paul. I bring over 25 years of professional experience working with children, teens, and families, including roles as a YMCA Camp Director, YMCA Teen Director, and more than 20 years in the residential Student Life program at Landmark High School.

Now that my 3 daughters are grown, I am able to help with children from ages 3–15, and have a dependable car to transport children to and from school and to activities. My approach is centered on helping each child explore their interests, and to have new experiences. Care can be home-based or include local outings and cultural activities to make our time together fun and meaningful.
