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 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!

Hi there! My name is Leah, and caring for children has always been a natural part of who I am. I’m a proud mom to two wonderful kids (ages 4 and 6), and through raising them, I’ve gained firsthand experience in child development, emotional support, and creating structured yet fun routines. Even long before motherhood, I was the one in my big family who loved spending time with the babies and younger cousins and helping, playing, and soaking up every moment with them. That joy for nurturing and guiding children has only grown stronger over the years. I currently serve as a Kids Ministry Leader at my church, where I plan fun and meaningful lessons, help kids learn about kindness and respect, and create a positive space where they can grow and be themselves. I’ve worked with kids of all ages and personalities, including those with different learning styles and needs, so I’m great at adjusting to what each child needs most. At home, I’ve managed a busy household by juggling schedules, meals, cleaning, and all the little details that make things run smoothly. I’m CPR and BLS certified, very organized, and I love keeping things calm, structured, and fun. I truly enjoy being a part of helping children learn and explore the world in their own unique way. It’s in the little moments, the giggles, milestones, and connections is what makes this work so special to me.
