Essie is very down to earth and was a great nanny to our 2 year old for a brief time, and our daughter still feels connected to her.

Hello! My name is Monica and I am excited to serve you and your children! I am a mom to six adult children, three grandchildren, a dog and a cat (wish I had chickens and a goat!) and married for over 37 years. I have worked in education my entire life, currently serving as an elementary principal at a private school. I have a masters degree and license to teach and in administration. I have worked as a full time nanny, tutor, classroom teacher and ran my own preschool for 20 years. I am passionate about children living to their full potential and encouraging children to explore, learn, (fail sometimes) and grow. It is exciting to see their eyes light up at a new discovery! I love being active, being outside, discovering and learning new things alongside your children. I also love supporting parents by helping with tasks such as establishing routines/schedules, sleep schedules, making healthy homemade meals/snacks, tutoring, organizing closets/children's bedrooms, housecleaning, errands, etc. Summers are down time for me so I am here to serve you and your family! I can't wait to meet you!

I am an experienced nanny/sitter with many years of having fun and building relationships with children of all ages and abilities. I SO enjoy watching each stage of a child's growth and development and love getting to be a part of all the fun steps along the way....I love music and making up silly songs, love to bake with the littles and do some arts and crafts because the kiddos can usually draw much better than I...lol. I also love to read books!! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile 😁 if you have any questions 😁

Jessica D., Child Care in Petersham, MA 01366 with 24 years of paid experience

Hi. My name is Jessica Dube and I’ve been a professional nanny since 1998. During these years I have worked with 5 wonderful families. The children were all of infant age when I started with them. Generally I stay with a family for 2-3 years. I love planning age appropriate outings such as trips to the library and playgroups. I’m a big believer in reading to your children starting at birth so that is one of my favorite activities. Infants are my specialty but I’ve worked with all age groups. If you’d like to hear more about me please reach out. My references are impeccable. Jessica Dube

Chalatorn G., Child Care in Petersham, MA 01366 with 6 years of paid experience

Why do you love being a sitter? I love caring for children and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I believe children need patience, kindness, attention, and someone they can trust. I enjoy playing with children, listening to them, helping with their daily routines, and creating a positive environment while their parents are away. What experience do you have? I have hands-on childcare experience caring for a child in my family from age 6 to 7. Although I have not worked professionally as a nanny, this experience taught me to be patient, responsible, attentive, and caring. I also have several years of experience working in public service in Thailand, where I helped people, answered questions, provided information, and handled documents. This taught me to be dependable, organized, respectful, and patient with people from different backgrounds. I understand that every family has different routines and parenting styles, and I am happy to follow parents’ instructions carefully. What school and training do you have? I have a Bachelor’s degree in Humanities and Social Sciences from Mahasarakham University in Thailand, graduating in 2012. I have also completed Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED training through the American Red Cross 2026 I am currently improving my English and enjoy learning and communicating with American families. I may be new to professional childcare, but I am caring, responsible, patient, dependable, and willing to learn. Most importantly, I want parents to feel confident that their child is safe, respected, and well cared for with me.
