I love being a sitter because it comes easy to me. I have been babysitting since about 12 years old and I have never been sick of it! I have also been a counselor at a summer camp for the last 5 years so I am certified in first aid and CPR.

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!

Hello! I have always loved being around children and was always referred to as the “baby whisperer” in my family. All throughout middle school and highschool I babysat my 2 cousins from when they were a couple months old to now where are 7. In highschool I watched three children and this past year I was with a family who had two children. I love being around little kids energies and being able to be a positive role model in their life!

Hi! I am an energetic, kind, loving person with so much passion for childcare! I am currently in College at UMass Amherst studying education and I worked at a before/after school program for 3 years with 2 out of the 3 as a group leader. I am also from a very large family where I am the designated babysitter for everyone! I have experience with kids from infants to middle schoolers. I am CPR, and first aid certified, I have a car, and I have experience in the kitchen for simple meals and I'm willing to help out with homework, necessary house chores and anything else you may need!

Hi there! My name is Ashley, and I am a 22-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!).

Hi! I'm Lian, a current college student at UMass Amherst, and I'm looking to provide some extra help or care for kid who need it while I'm working on campus over the summer. I don't have any professional experience with traditional child care (yet), but I have a wealth of other experiences that have developed my skills for working with kids and love for helping them out. I've helped to take care of younger cousins and my nephew growing up, providing care ranging from simply spending time with them and making sure they're safe, to homework help, preparing food, and providing strong emotional support when times get rough and they most need it. Through younger family, I have also had first-hand experience caring for kids with ADHD, including helping impulse control, and keeping patience when teaching academic skills like reading or math. I also have 2+ years of experience outside my family. One of these experiences is volunteer tutoring, where I have experience working with kids from upper elementary all the way through high school, teaching subjects such as math, reading comprehension & writing skills, and biology. At the same time, this experience has also helped develop my communication, minor conflict-resolution, and leadership skills. I've also volunteered at a marine life center, where I taught and engaged kids of all ages about our local marine wildlife, while also ensuring safety and rule-following. This included instructing safe and careful play in the touch-tanks (and redirecting kids from playing in the non-touch-tanks), keeping a close eye on or staying near them if parents needed to step out for any reason, and reminding them about respect for the wildlife (and one another) if things started to get a bit too rough. Most importantly though, this also gained me a lot of experience in ensuring the kids also had a fun, educational time. I'd answer all their questions as best as I could (including the ever-repetitive "Why?"), let them talk about their interests, helped them discover all the center had to offer, and most importantly, made sure they had fun while learning. I have training in CPR and extensive first-aid knowledge, as well as experience interacting with a range of special-needs kids (within and outside of family). Ultimately, what'd I love most about being a sitter is just getting to help kids out, teach them some interesting things along the way, and learn about what cool little humans they are.

Hi! My name is Mia, and I’m a caring, responsible, and patient babysitter with a genuine love for working with children of all ages. I have experience helping care for kids in both structured and relaxed environments, and I always aim to create a safe, supportive, and fun atmosphere where children can feel comfortable being themselves. I’m attentive to each child’s individual needs and enjoy engaging them in activities like reading, creative play, crafts, and quiet time when needed. I’m also comfortable helping with routines such as meals, bedtime, and light tidying related to the children. I pride myself on being dependable, calm under pressure, and communicative with parents so you can feel confident your child is in good hands. Whether you need occasional help or a more regular sitter, I’m happy to support your family and make your child’s time enjoyable and safe!

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!

I love to dance, do arts and crafts, be outdoors, read, write, and enjoy music.

I have my associates and bachelor's in early childhood, as well as my masters in psychology. I have been in childcare for about 9 years working with different age groups (birth to five). I have such a strong passion working with kids and seeing them grow as individuals. I am currently a preschool teacher in a head start setting, wanting to help families out by babysitting after my head start shift. :)
