Find experienced child care providers in Shutesbury, MA

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! Most recently, I’ve been a part-time nanny for two toddler girls and a morning helper for a 1 year old. I love doing crafts and playing outside with the kids. I’m comfortable driving kids if need be. :) Please reach out with any questions!

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.

My name is Julia, I'm a psychology and Education studies double major with a data analysis minor at Wesleyan University. I grew up in Amherst Mass and am the youngest of 4. My hobbies include singing, writing, swimming, skiing, arts and crafts, playing with my dog, and watching my favorite show (new girl). I have 6 years of experience, and my own car! I was a varsity swim captain at my high school and I’m first aid and CPR certified.

Hi! I'm Lian, a current college student at UMass Amherst, and I'm looking to provide some extra help or care for kid who need it while I'm working on campus over the summer. I don't have any professional experience with traditional child care (yet), but I have a wealth of other experiences that have developed my skills for working with kids and love for helping them out. I've helped to take care of younger cousins and my nephew growing up, providing care ranging from simply spending time with them and making sure they're safe, to homework help, preparing food, and providing strong emotional support when times get rough and they most need it. Through younger family, I have also had first-hand experience caring for kids with ADHD, including helping impulse control, and keeping patience when teaching academic skills like reading or math. I also have 2+ years of experience outside my family. One of these experiences is volunteer tutoring, where I have experience working with kids from upper elementary all the way through high school, teaching subjects such as math, reading comprehension & writing skills, and biology. At the same time, this experience has also helped develop my communication, minor conflict-resolution, and leadership skills. I've also volunteered at a marine life center, where I taught and engaged kids of all ages about our local marine wildlife, while also ensuring safety and rule-following. This included instructing safe and careful play in the touch-tanks (and redirecting kids from playing in the non-touch-tanks), keeping a close eye on or staying near them if parents needed to step out for any reason, and reminding them about respect for the wildlife (and one another) if things started to get a bit too rough. Most importantly though, this also gained me a lot of experience in ensuring the kids also had a fun, educational time. I'd answer all their questions as best as I could (including the ever-repetitive "Why?"), let them talk about their interests, helped them discover all the center had to offer, and most importantly, made sure they had fun while learning. I have training in CPR and extensive first-aid knowledge, as well as experience interacting with a range of special-needs kids (within and outside of family). Ultimately, what'd I love most about being a sitter is just getting to help kids out, teach them some interesting things along the way, and learn about what cool little humans they are.

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!).

I am CPR, and first aid certified, I have a car, and I have experience in the kitchen for simple meals and I'm willing to help out with homework, necessary house chores and anything else you may need!

I have my associates and bachelor's in early childhood, as well as my masters in psychology. I have been in childcare for about 9 years working with different age groups (birth to five). I have such a strong passion working with kids and seeing them grow as individuals.
