Hi! My name is Sara Coughlin and I am a full time college student from western mass! I am 21 years old and I graduated class of 2021 from my local high school, and am in university but am home for the summers. I have always been good with and genuinely loved being with kids, and have babysat and helped with kids of all ages since I was younger helping out in Child Watch at the YMCA. I have been certified for babysitting by the American Red Cross for years. I love kids as I have always had little cousins and work with kids a lot, I love animals, and helping people, and am very outgoing, caring, and adventurous, which is why babysitting is such a perfect fit for me for a part time job whenever I can! I have been a kids camp unit director and counselor in the summers and it is the best part of my summer days, I couldn’t this summer due to minor scheduling conflicts but will miss it so much this summer! I have experience and love working with any ages. I have experience with casual sitting, date nights, bedtime routines, wedding sitter/help, and much more and I love it all! Please reach out I’m happy to discuss and see if I can help in any way!

Hello my name is Wayna, I am 19 years old. I was born and raised in Jamaica I came to the U.S when I was 11 ever since I was young I always wanted to be a pediatrician because I love kids and love seeing them happy. I grew up watching all my cousins from feeding them to changing their diapers to them taking naps and also potty trained them. I’m really good with kids, I’m calm patient and very understanding. Babysitting is an absolute joy for me! I love it because it allows me to connect with kids, their innocence, and their unique perspectives on life. It's like opening a window to a world full of imagination and endless possibilities. Plus, their energy and enthusiasm are infectious, it can truly brighten my day. I also appreciate the responsibility that comes with it, as it helps me grow as a person. And let's not forget, the joy of seeing them learn new things and grow is beyond rewarding. It's a job that's filled with love, laughter, and life lessons.

Hi! I’m Amaya, a caring and reliable nanny with a strong passion for childcare. I’m a college student and CPR/BLS certified, with five years of hands-on experience helping raise my nephew from infancy through early childhood. That time gave me a deep understanding of how to meet children’s needs with patience, love, and consistency. While I haven’t worked in a paid childcare role yet, I’ve taken on all the responsibilities of a full-time caregiver—feeding, diapering, playtime, school routines, and more. I love engaging kids in creative and educational activities, and I’m always focused on keeping them safe and happy. I’m also First Aid certified and have completed Advanced Child Care Training, which has given me added skills in safety, emergency response, and age-appropriate care. As a student, I bring a strong sense of responsibility and time management to everything I do. I’m also flexible with scheduling, respectful of household routines, and happy to help with light chores, meals, or homework support. I’d love the opportunity to be a trusted part of your family’s support system!

Hi, I'm Heather! I've always had a passion for nurturing children's growth and development, which led me to become a caregiver. I bring roughly six years of paid experience, a strong background in early childhood education and an up to date first aid/CPR certification. As a stay-at-home mother to two boys (ages 3&6), I have enhanced my experience and knowledge in caring for children. My calm and patient nature allows me to handle challenging situations with ease, while my creativity makes playtime fun and educational. I believe in open communication with parents and will provide regular updates about your child's day. I am hoping to provide childcare from my house as I have a 3-year-old that is not yet in school. House visits prior and during care are welcomed! Your child's safety, happiness, and development are my top priorities! As a reliable and trustworthy caregiver, I am committed to providing a supportive and nurturing environment for your family! I have references available!
