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.

My name is Ella, and I am a dedicated and experienced childcare professional with a strong background in early childhood education and family support. I am originally from Rochester and currently live in Lakeville. I have over a decade of experience working with children in a variety of settings. I volunteered in a preschool from 2014–2018 while completing child development coursework in high school and later worked as a summer camp counselor. I have been babysitting since my early teens and hold current CPR and First Aid/AED certifications. My professional experience includes 2–3 years as an assistant teacher in classroom settings, work in a licensed home daycare, and Family Child Care (FCC) certification. I have experience caring for children ranging from premature newborns through school-age, and I have spent the past three years working as a private professional nanny, providing consistent, attentive, and individualized care for families. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Child and Family Studies from Framingham State University in 2022, along with double minors in Psychology and Sociology. This educational background, combined with hands-on experience, allows me to support children’s social, emotional, and developmental needs thoughtfully and intentionally. I am a responsible, dependable caregiver with a genuine passion for working with children. I enjoy creating engaging, age-appropriate activities, lesson plans, and projects that promote learning, creativity, and independence. I am also happy to assist with household tasks and errands as needed. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children feel supported and encouraged to grow as individuals. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, spending time with family and friends, and cooking and baking. I recently began exploring sourdough baking and enjoy the creativity and patience it requires.

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!

Hannah P.

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.
