I have been trained in CPR and first aid. I have years of experience working in Human Services and caring for adults also.

I'm seeking a part-time position and can provide excellent references upon request. See my 5 star reviews. Although I clean up the kitchen after meals and toys after play, my focus is childcare and I do not provide housekeeping, laundry or errands. I am also equipped to provide childcare in my home and live in a safe, quiet neighborhood.

Reese G., Child Care in Gloucester, MA 01930 with 7 years of paid experience

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.

Paul B., Child Care in Gloucester, MA 01930 with 25 years of paid experience

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. In that role, I have consistently met CORI/SORI background check requirements, most recently as of last year. 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.
