Maureen was absolutely wonderful with our 2-3 year old, reliable and consistent for a regular sitting position over several months. Our daughter LOVES her, and so do we. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.

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!

Hi! My name is Olivia. I am 22 years old. I nannied a little girl full-time for a year, starting when she was 4 months. I have also been formally babysitting since I was 13, although I have always loved playing with kids and helping out in things like my church nursery. With my past babysitting jobs I have done things like taking the kids outside, playing hide-and-seek and tag, drawing with chalk, building legos, reading books, and playing imaginary games with them. I have briefly been a nanny for a 7 year old girl and an informal nanny for many different families over the years. I also most recently worked as the after-school coordinator for a classical Christian school. My dream is to someday be a stay-at-home mom, so doing housework is a passion of mine. In the midst of babysitting, I always try to keep the environment clean and leave it neater than I found it. I am a Christian and as a result I try to always be honest and caring as I seek to glorify and honor my Savior. I'm excited to work with you!

Madelyn is SUCH a great sitter. Our daughter, who can be really shy and scared of strangers, opened up to her immediately. She was never distracted by something else during her time at our house and was always talking to our daughter and engaging her, even before she could really say words. She's such a gem and we're so sad to leave the area because we can't have her all the time. The playroom was always clean at the end of their time together and she did a great job of changing diapers at the appropriate times.

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.

Why do you love being a sitter? I love caring for children and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I believe children need patience, kindness, attention, and someone they can trust. I enjoy playing with children, listening to them, helping with their daily routines, and creating a positive environment while their parents are away. What experience do you have? I have hands-on childcare experience caring for a child in my family from age 6 to 7. Although I have not worked professionally as a nanny, this experience taught me to be patient, responsible, attentive, and caring. I also have several years of experience working in public service in Thailand, where I helped people, answered questions, provided information, and handled documents. This taught me to be dependable, organized, respectful, and patient with people from different backgrounds. I understand that every family has different routines and parenting styles, and I am happy to follow parents’ instructions carefully. What school and training do you have? I have a Bachelor’s degree in Humanities and Social Sciences from Mahasarakham University in Thailand, graduating in 2012. I have also completed Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED training through the American Red Cross 2026 I am currently improving my English and enjoy learning and communicating with American families. I may be new to professional childcare, but I am caring, responsible, patient, dependable, and willing to learn. Most importantly, I want parents to feel confident that their child is safe, respected, and well cared for with me.
