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.

Hi! My name is Marcus Montagnino, and I’m a responsible, patient, and easy-going person with a strong background in working with kids across a variety of settings—from summer camps to athletic training to regular babysitting. I’m 23 years old and currently a student-athlete on the men’s basketball team at Endicott College, where I’m pursuing my Master’s in Sport Leadership. Before that, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Sport Management from Xavier University. I’m now looking for a reliable and flexible part-time babysitting job that allows me to continue doing something I love—helping kids grow, stay active, and enjoy learning new things. I’ve gained hands-on experience with children through several meaningful roles. At the Gloucester YMCA, I worked as a Summer Sports Camp Counselor, leading groups of 15–25 children in games, sports, and team-building activities. I made sure every child felt safe, included, and confident while keeping the environment fun and positive. I worked with kids of all ages and feel very comfortable adapting to different needs and personalities. More recently, I’ve been a Basketball Trainer for Elevate Academy, where I’ve coached athletes ranging from middle schoolers to college players. Alongside that, I’ve also spent plenty of time babysitting for family members, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and being a dependable presence. I’d love the opportunity to bring my energy, experience, and care to your family. I pride myself on being someone kids enjoy spending time with and parents can count on, and I feel like I have always done a good job with this. My experiences working with children in a variety of contexts, such as camps, sports programs, and team environments, have given me what I believe to be great communication abilities. I understand how to listen to children's needs, speak to them in a straightforward and encouraging manner, and keep lines of communication open with parents to make sure everyone is informed and at ease. My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and positive environment. If you have any questions or would like to know more about me, I’d be happy to answer and share how I can help in any way.

I have my undergraduate degree in Psychology, Gender Studies, and Public Health from Connecticut College. I received my Masters in Social Work with a focus in children, youth, and families from Boston College in May 2024. At BC, I interned at Watertown’s Boys and Girls Club working with elementary to high school kids and Bradley Hospital in East Providence, RI.

I have worked as a nanny/babysitter for families in Stonington, CT, Sharon, MA, the Hamptons, and Manhattan, NYC. My interest of working with kids was solidified through these experiences, and I look forward to working with more in the future! I am currently a school counselor in Beverly and have availability after 3:30pm weekdays and on weekends. :-)
