I love being a sitter because it comes easy to me. I have been babysitting since about 12 years old and I have never been sick of it! I have also been a counselor at a summer camp for the last 5 years so I am certified in first aid and CPR.

Hi!! I am located in Stoneham and have been working as a babysitter for 7 years now. I have worked with all age ranges from infant to pre-teen!

I’m comfortable driving kids if need be. :) Please reach out with any questions!

Hi Families! My name is Erin Kilraine, and I recently moved to the Sunderland, Massachusetts area from Walpole, MA. I have over 10 years of childcare experience and am currently looking to connect with families needing weekend babysitting, date nights, occasional help, or backup care. I absolutely love working with children and have spent many years caring for kids of all ages. I’ve been lucky enough to work long-term with amazing families — including one family for 6 years and another for 4 years. Building strong relationships with both children and parents has always been one of my favorite parts of nannying. I am responsible, patient, nurturing, and dependable, and I always strive to create a safe, fun, and caring environment for the children I care for. Whether it’s playing games, helping with bedtime routines, preparing meals/snacks, or simply giving parents peace of mind during a night out, I genuinely enjoy being there to help. I am also currently in nursing school working toward becoming a pediatric nurse, which has strengthened my passion for caring for children and families even more. I would love to connect and see if I could be a good fit for your family’s occasional babysitting needs. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! Warmly, Erin Kilraine

Hi there! My name is Ashley, and I am a 22-year-old undergraduate student. I have had plenty of experience working with kids, whether it was as a camp counselor or an as-needed babysitter for neighbors and friends. I also worked with kids for several years as a junior Taekwondo instructor. I am reliable and patient, and I am resourceful in challenging situations. I am also physically fit and enjoy getting active and involved with whatever the kids are doing, like going to parks, riding bikes, stomping around in puddles, or playing with action figures or dolls. I think being attentive as well as being involved is what helps foster trust between the kids and me, no matter how old they are (and it makes the job fun!). I also have skills in cooking, cleaning (and organizational skills), and basic first aid. I am CPR certified as of November (2024). I am available to take care of pets, too (I have plenty of my own at home!).
