Find experienced child care providers in Turners Falls, MA

Hello! I have always loved being around children and was always referred to as the “baby whisperer” in my family. All throughout middle school and highschool I babysat my 2 cousins from when they were a couple months old to now where are 7. In highschool I watched three children and this past year I was with a family who had two children. I love being around little kids energies and being able to be a positive role model in their life!

Hi there! I'm Eleyna. I’m from Eastern MA, but I live in Greenfield now! Some of my hobbies include pottery, other various crafts, and cooking. For the past two years I've been a garden and food educator for elementary students in Holyoke. Before that I worked with middle and high school students in Austria, and before that I babysat for a wide range of ages, worked as a substitute teacher, and was an assistant teacher at an elementary after school program. I love working with kids, guiding their social emotional development, encouraging a sense of curiosity and scientific inquiry, and above all supporting them in learning through play!

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!).

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

Greetings! I am a professional older sister. I am qualified to change diapers, wipe tears and read bedtime stories. I enjoy things that warm my heart such as laughter, nature, and imagination. The only thing I love more than that is a child's perspective. I am Red Cross certified and have an up to date CORI. I hold a bachelors in Child and Adolescent Psychology. Some of my experience with children includes: working three summers as one of three counselors to teach and provide preschoolers with a safe environment while having fun at summer camp, a game coordinator for the local vacation bible school for ages K-6, volunteering in church nursery's, foreign orphanages, and kindergarten speech lessons. I have assisted in preschool classrooms, and in the care for three foster babies in the past. I worked as a substitute teacher last year, and as a para professional/ 1 on 1 with children diagnosed with autism the year prior to that. I have 5 years of nannying experience. Patience is key, and positive re-enforcement is the secret. I am patient and friendly, reliable and focused. I also play the ukulele!

Hi! My name is Kyla, and I am an online college student with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for working with children. I have several years of babysitting experience caring for children in my neighborhood and for family friends, and I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can thrive. In addition to babysitting, I have had the opportunity to shadow my mom, a speech therapist, which has given me valuable insight into child development, communication, and supporting children with patience and encouragement. I am responsible, dependable, and energetic, and I am happy to help with activities, homework, meal preparation, transportation, and light household tasks. I look forward to building a positive relationship with your family and providing dependable, compassionate care for your children!

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).
