Find experienced child care providers in Haydenville, MA

I am a Career Development Counselor at Holyoke Community College. I use child development theory when working with children to meet kiddos where they are at developmentally. I love spending time with kids who are interested in drawing, doing crafts, reading books, and playing outside! I’m not a couch potato, so my focus would be on activities that involve the least amount of TV as possible :) I am fluent in Spanish & Urdu. As I have a full-time job, my babysitting availability is limited to date nights, weekends, and holidays.

Hello! I am a mom of two wonderful young adults adopted from foster care as toddlers. I was lucky to have provided nanny services for a new mom when I was younger, and did plenty of babysitting. I have been part of the baby cuddler program at Baystate Franklin Medical Center for 10+ years supporting high needs newborns and their moms. It has been an incredibly rich and rewarding experience. I have my own arts business which allows me to have flexibility with my schedule. I’d love to provide ongoing child care for your family that gives you the peace of mind and consistency you need. In my free time I go on walks with my pup Hunny Bunny, play ping pong and spend time with friends. I look forward to supporting you and your family by providing safe, reliable and fun care for your baby or toddler. Take care- Pam

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 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 friends! My name is Areecia and I’m a Kindergaten teacher at Easthampton Public Schools. Working with children is truly my passion! I have 10 years of professional experience working with children and 4 years of teaching experience. I have experience working with both children with disabilities and children with challenging behaviors. I believe I have the skills and dedication to provide a fun, safe and nurturing environment for your child! My patient, caring, and loving nature allows me to connect with children on a deep level and understand their individual needs. I am able to maintain open lines of communication with parents, using their preferred method, be it verbal communication at pickup or regular updates via text or phone call. Whether it's outdoor activities, educational support, or board games, I'm always up for fun and engaging activities that promote learning and development! With my college degree in Early Childhood Education, CPR and First Aid certification, and deescalation trainings, I'm well-equipped to handle any situation that may arise. I hope I get a chance to meet you and your family, and be a welcoming helping hand!

Hi there! My name is Leslie and I absolutely love kids! I graduated from UMass Amherst in 2023 with degrees in Special Education and Psychology.

I have many years of experience working with kids of all ages, including those with a wide range of special needs. I have worked with adults with disabilities as well. I look forward to getting to know you and your entire family (including any four-legged friends you may have)!

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.
