Sandra W., Child Care in Sterling, MA 01564 with 28 years of paid experience

Are you looking for an occasional sitter? A summertime sitter? I’m a full time art teacher during the school year. I’m seeking occasional sitting positions and summer time sitting positions. Perhaps you need a date night or just need an occasional night out. I have CPR, first aid and epi pen training. I have raised my son and also two step daughters who are now adults. I had been a lifeguard when I was 16, of course all that training is expired, but I feel that those life experiences stay with you. I look forward to hearing from you. I am vaccinated for Covid-19

We met Sandie at the beginning of the pandemic through Dumpling, which is a personal shopping app. She was our food shopping angel during Covid and 2 years later not only does she still shop for us, but we have her occasionally babysit our 4 year old who loves Sandie! Flexible, thorough, and just all around a nice person.

Lucielle is wonderful. She is always on time, very responsive, she is kind, caring, creative and proactive. We brings the routine and attentiveness skills from having worked in a daycare center, but the warmth of a family friend. Both of my babies took to her immediately.

Keely S., Child Care in Sterling, MA 01564 with 20 years of paid experience

Here is a little bit about me. *Self-description* I am spunky, fun and dependable. I enjoy doing crafts and playing games. I also take joy in playgrounds, riding bikes, swimming, the library, and other fun things! I feel I would be a great companion for your child. *Additional information* I began an interest in caring for children when I was 13. I would babysit for families in the neighborhood. As I entered high school they had a day care in one of the wings. I began working there for credit.  From that point on I have always had a job working with children *Challenges of position* I have been with one of my families for 10 years, and I find that as they get older the respect level and listening skills decrease a little bit. It makes it difficult for me implement the rules of the house, so I have to be creative in my methods. *Rewards of position* It is a good feeling knowing that I am an important part in a child's life. Being able to watch them grow and help them with life decisions means a great deal to me.

Keely is excellent with our toddler. She is very communicative, honest and reliable. In a very short period, our toddler bonded well with her. She is always looking to help out and is super understanding of any specific needs or methods. Looking forward to working with her in the future.
