A little bit about me… I've been babysitting since i was a child. I use to be a daycare teacher and helped my mom in her home daycare. I have worked in 3 different daycares as a preschool teacher. One was an at home daycare. I now have a 6-year old. She comes with me all the time and is a great help and loves meeting new children. It makes it easier, as I homeschool her. I have plenty of references that I can furnish. Different from the ones, already in here. I also study Health and Nutrition and we are Vegan. Thank you. Look forward to connecting with great families!

Hello, my name is Alyssa and I am 28 years old. I have a bachelors in psychology and I just graduated with my teaching degree in Early Childhood. I have been working with school-aged children for 7 years. I worked at the YMCA for 5 years in the school-age childcare department. While working with the kids, I supervised them while they ate their snack, helped with homework, and did crafts with them. I am currently working in the New Bedford Public School System as a special education preschool teacher. I previously taught in Fall River Public Schools as a Special Education Teacher in a Kindergarten classroom! Not only do I have experience working with children in a formal setting, I also have experience working with younger children due to having the chance to babysit family members and family friends' children. Besides having my teaching license, I am also certified in OSHA, First Aid and CPR, along with having my babysitting certification assigned by American Red Cross.

Hi! I'm Annabelle, a college student who is currently working toward my bachelor's degree in Nursing, with hopes of becoming a pediatric nurse in the future. Because I am a full time college student my availability would be after school hours, weekends, and school breaks! I've always loved working with children, and my experience reflects that. I've worked in a daycare caring for toddlers through school-age children, where I assisted with daily routines, learning activities, playtime, snacks, and maintaining a safe, positive environment. I also have experience working at my dance studio, helping younger dancers stay focused, learn new skills, and build confidence. I truly enjoy being a sitter because I love creating a fun atmosphere for children and being someone they feel comfortable with. I'm patient, responsible, and great with communication. I am certified in CPR/First Aid! My childcare background has taught me how to balance safety with fun, manage multiple tasks at once, and support kids at different stages. I'd love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, caring, and organized childcare!

Hi! My name is Julia and I am from Dartmouth, MA. I am a Registered Nurse, currently in Nurse Practitioner school - with the hopes to be a pediatric NP. I began my nursing career in the ICU and have recently transitioned to a pediatric unit. Now that I am back in school, the 12-hour hospital shifts are proving to be difficult to balance! I am BLS, ALCS (advanced life support), and PALS (pediatric advanced life support) certified. I am looking for a rather consistent nannying role and am available on weekdays, except for Thursdays. I have loved working as a pediatric nurse - constantly finding ways to be creative and make the "hard things" more fun. I love to spend time outside, arts and crafts, and am very active myself. I recently adopted a goldendoodle and am loving "dog mom" life.

Hi! I’m Abby :) Caring for kids has always felt natural to me, and over the past four years I’ve been lucky enough to turn that into something I truly love doing. Families I’ve worked with tell me their kids light up when I come over, and honestly, the feeling is mutual — I have just as much fun as they do! I’m all about creating memorable moments without relying on screens. Whether it’s playing outdoors, getting creative with crafts, diving into board games, or making up silly songs, I love finding ways to keep kids entertained and engaged. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, and have my own car, so pickups, drop-offs, or spontaneous ice cream runs are never a problem. Parents can count on me to follow household routines, keep things running smoothly, and communicate clearly — whether you prefer quick updates or detailed check-ins. At the heart of it, I’m passionate about making kids feel safe, happy, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind. I’d love the chance to bring that energy to your family!

Hello! My name is Hannah, and I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old. Growing up with two younger siblings taught me responsibility, patience, and a deep love for caring for children from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience with children of all ages through babysitting for multiple families and serving as a camp counselor. Last summer, I had the wonderful opportunity to nanny for a family with three boys—a 3-year-old with Down syndrome, his 7-year-old brother, and their 1-year-old baby brother. It was an incredibly rewarding experience that deepened my passion for childcare. I also had the privilege of participating in mission trips to Guatemala, where I volunteered in a baby hospital and a baby rescue center. Those experiences were truly heartwarming and strengthened my commitment to nurturing and supporting children. I absolutely love working with babies and kids and am currently seeking a kind, welcoming family to babysit or nanny for. I’m a full-time student at Bridgewater State University and am looking for part-time hours that fit alongside my studies.
