Maddy H., Child Care in Russell, MA 01071 with 11 years of paid experience

I am 24 years old I live in Enfield CT (I’m not sure why it won’t let me change my location) I have been babysitting for 8 years and nannying for 3 years. I have experience with all ages but I have a soft spot for infants. I love too cook, clean, dance, do crafts, and go on walks. I am very into child development and hitting milestones. I also have worked in a daycare facility before but it wasn’t my passion. I love taking the kids for drives and to see the environment. Please feel free to message me if you are interested!

Lindsey nannied for our two boys, then 6 months and 2.5 years. She started with us following my return from maternity leave and in a very difficult post-pandemic era, during which my 2.5 year old struggled with transitions. She handled many a tantrum with grace and patience, with a smile on her face, and helped us navigate potty-training. She is flexible and accommodating, and leaves the house sparkling clean. She goes above and beyond - including by spending her free time researching behavioral development guidance for toddlers and ways to get picky eaters to ingest more calories. We are really going to miss her and her sweet baby boy. She is a true professional and any family would be lucky to have her!

Momina S., Child Care in Russell, MA 01071 with 5 years of paid experience

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.

Momina is excellent with children! She works with my special needs child and is so responsive and kind. She asks questions and my child seems very relaxed and able to be herself with Momina. That reduced stress is a big help!

Hailey S., Child Care in Russell, MA 01071 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Hailey, and I have a true passion for working with young children, especially babies through preschool age. I love being able to help little ones learn, grow, and feel safe and cared for during such important early years of development. Watching children build confidence, discover new things, and develop their personalities is incredibly rewarding to me. I recently worked at Woodside Children’s Center for the past three years, where I primarily worked with toddlers and preschool-aged children. During my time there, I gained valuable experience creating engaging activities, supporting emotional and social development, maintaining routines, and helping children learn through play. I also have experience caring for babies and twins as well. My passion for teaching and caring for children began in high school when I participated in the Laboratory Preschool Program at Westfield High School. That experience inspired me to continue my education at Holyoke Community College, where I studied Early Childhood Education. While I did not complete my degree, I chose to begin working full time in childcare so I could gain hands-on experience doing what I love most. I pride myself on being patient, nurturing, dependable, and attentive, and I truly enjoy building strong relationships with both children and parents. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a caring, fun, and safe environment for your little ones!

Leanora K., Child Care in Russell, MA 01071 with 10 years of paid experience

As a passionate childcare provider with 10 years of experience, I am dedicated to nurturing and educating children. My journey began with fulfilling babysitting roles, where I discovered my natural ability to connect with children and positively impact their lives and mine. I have also worked in daycare, school, and nanny roles. Supporting families and providing reliable childcare became my mission. My patient and calm nature allows me to handle any situation with composure, while my creativity and imagination make learning and play fun and engaging. I believe in open and honest communication with parents, providing a partnership to address anything. Ensuring a safe and structured environment for the children in my care while still having fun is a passion of mine. From outdoor adventures to educational games, I enjoy a variety of activities that encourage physical, mental, and emotional development. I am moving from Mass to Utah in late June early July. I’m moving out there with my fiancé because he is in the airforce. We will be living out there for about a year and then relocating back to MA. During that year I am looking for full time or two part time jobs in child care. I am teacher, CPR and First aid certified. I’m currently in nursing school in MA at Westfield State, while taking classes I have been doing lots of child care in people homes on the side. Prior to being in school I was a daycare teacher and have cared for newborns up to children 12 years old. Let me know if I sound like I could be a good fit for your family or if you have any question! Thank you
