Hello, I'm a career nanny of 16 years with children of different age developments. I'm a Mom to a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old girl. I have taken care of multiples starting from infant age up to 7 years of age. I understand the physical and emotional demands of working with children and have the perfect blend of patience, energy, compassion, responsibility and fun. I have excellent verbal, listening and written communication skills to effectively work with parents. I have attended National Nanny Training Day two different years. I am a Newborn Care Specialist. I have taken an online Car Seat Safety course and keep up to date on my CPR, First Aid, and AED certifications as your children's safety is of utmost importance to me. I hope to be able to take all of my experience and be the best nanny I can be.

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!

I am a pediatric occupational therapist student looking to connect with a few families while in school. I grew up in a large family and began working professionally with children at 16. I have worked in other fields and always find myself coming back to pediatrics. My last professional job before school was working for Westfield Headstart. I absolutely loved the opportunity and was heartbroken to leave the job for college. I have experience working with children from 8 weeks old through 10 years old, extensive twin infant experience and experience with special needs children (adhd, asd). I am trained in medicine administration, CPR and firstaid and transport kids frequently from school to home or to sports. The thing I love most about being a nanny/sitter is the personal relationships with the families, getting to watch the kids grow and communicating with parents about goals and working towards them.

Ali has been an absolute gift to our family, caring for our twins since they were just 4 months old. She’s independently managed both of their schedules from day one — no small feat, and something not many people can say they’ve done! She is incredibly patient, caring, and knowledgeable, balancing her expertise with so much genuine kindness and empathy. She consistently goes above and beyond for our family, is always highly responsive, and is a wonderful source of thoughtful guidance and practical advice whenever we need it. One of the things we appreciate most about Ali is how respectful she is of our individual preferences and parenting style. She always works in partnership with us, never making assumptions or passing judgment, and makes us feel supported and confident as parents. Finding someone you truly trust with your babies is no small thing, and Ali brings so much peace of mind to our family. We truly couldn’t recommend her more highly to any family looking for not just exceptional childcare, but someone who is compassionate, thoughtful, dependable, and genuinely invested in the well-being of both the babies and their parents. Any family would be lucky to have her!

Hi! My name is Sara Coughlin and I am a full time college student from western mass! I am 21 years old and I graduated class of 2021 from my local high school, and am in university but am home for the summers. I have always been good with and genuinely loved being with kids, and have babysat and helped with kids of all ages since I was younger helping out in Child Watch at the YMCA. I have been certified for babysitting by the American Red Cross for years. I love kids as I have always had little cousins and work with kids a lot, I love animals, and helping people, and am very outgoing, caring, and adventurous, which is why babysitting is such a perfect fit for me for a part time job whenever I can! I have been a kids camp unit director and counselor in the summers and it is the best part of my summer days, I couldn’t this summer due to minor scheduling conflicts but will miss it so much this summer! I have experience and love working with any ages. I have experience with casual sitting, date nights, bedtime routines, wedding sitter/help, and much more and I love it all! Please reach out I’m happy to discuss and see if I can help in any way!

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!

Hi! I’m a caring and reliable nanny with over 5 years of paid experience working with children from infants to preschool age. I’ve spent years in childcare center, and I’m currently in school pursuing my degree in Early Childhood Development, so I love bringing both hands-on experience and what I’m learning into my work. I’m all about creating a warm, safe, and fun environment where kids can learn, play, and just be themselves. Whether it’s helping with routines, planning little activities, or just being a supportive, positive presence, I truly enjoy what I do and love building strong connections with the families I work with.❤️

Kiara is amazing with our 5 and 1 year old girls. They get excited when we tell them she's coming over. She is so good at interacting with them, and making them feel safe to be themselves. Only thing I'd change is I wish there were 2 of her!

I am a higher educational professional who was born and raised in the Boston area. I have a Masters degree and work with students every day. I recently relocated to the Pioneer Valley to work at Amherst College! I have a plethora of babysitting experience from my four years in Boston. I have babysat children as young as 3 months old. I love babies and am very comfortable with them since many of my friends have children who I spend a lot of time with!! In Boston, I had several regular clients with kiddos ranging from 3 months to 7 years old. I also was a camp counselor and worked with 9 and 10 year olds so I am comfortable with all ages. I am incredibly organized, mature and trustworthy. I am also compassionate and attentive, always putting the children who I babysit first. I am trained in CPR and First Aid as well. I am an intelligent young professional and can work with people of all ages. I also am able to help with homework, particularly in French and Spanish! I love being silly with little kids, whether it is dancing around with them, getting on the floor or going outside in the backyard to play.

I am very passionate about the arts, outdoorsy adventures, and mindfulness activities such as yoga and journaling, and I love finding ways to share my interests with children!

I love babysitting and working with kids. I think it's amazing to be able to help a child fulfill their potential, be it with school work or finally being able to build that perfect legos building. I've had a lot of experience with taking care of kids. I look after my cousins, age ranging from 2 years old to 12 years old, constantly.

Pabla I'd great with my baby daughter, who is excited each time she sees her. Pabla is organized and easy to communicate with, even showing me a calendar of her availability. She takes initiative with chores. Best of all she has warm and happy to engage with our whole family.
