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.

As a childcare worker for over a decade I started off working in Windsor Public Schools as a Before/After School Program Leader along with working as a STEM teacher in summer camp. Next I worked in daycares as both a Lead Infant/Toddler Teacher and as Floating Teacher. Most recently I was a Math/Reading Interventionist, giving individualized and small group instruction to children struggling academically. I also have experience with special needs children and providing ABA play-based therapy to children with autism. Although I’ve had many different roles in the early childhood field, the times where I feel most fulfilled are when a family reaches out to me and entrusts me with the responsibility of caring for their children in their home. I am a mother to my 5-year-old son, so I know firsthand the fear that comes along with searching for someone safe and qualified. I love being able to provide peace of mind to other moms like me and I look forward to helping support your family too.

I am a Career Development Counselor at Holyoke Community College. I use child development theory when working with children to meet kiddos where they are at developmentally.

As I have a full-time job, my babysitting availability is limited to date nights, weekends, and holidays.

Hello! I am a mom of two wonderful young adults adopted from foster care as toddlers. I was lucky to have provided nanny services for a new mom when I was younger, and did plenty of babysitting. I have been part of the baby cuddler program at Baystate Franklin Medical Center for 10+ years supporting high needs newborns and their moms. It has been an incredibly rich and rewarding experience. I have my own arts business which allows me to have flexibility with my schedule. I’d love to provide ongoing child care for your family that gives you the peace of mind and consistency you need. In my free time I go on walks with my pup Hunny Bunny, play ping pong and spend time with friends. I look forward to supporting you and your family by providing safe, reliable and fun care for your baby or toddler. Take care- Pam
