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!

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

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. I love spending time with kids who are interested in drawing, doing crafts, reading books, and playing outside! I’m not a couch potato, so my focus would be on activities that involve the least amount of TV as possible :) I am fluent in Spanish & Urdu. As I have a full-time job, my babysitting availability is limited to date nights, weekends, and holidays.

Hi! I’m Amaya, a caring and reliable nanny with a strong passion for childcare. I’m a college student and CPR/BLS certified, with five years of hands-on experience helping raise my nephew from infancy through early childhood. That time gave me a deep understanding of how to meet children’s needs with patience, love, and consistency. While I haven’t worked in a paid childcare role yet, I’ve taken on all the responsibilities of a full-time caregiver—feeding, diapering, playtime, school routines, and more. I love engaging kids in creative and educational activities, and I’m always focused on keeping them safe and happy. I’m also First Aid certified and have completed Advanced Child Care Training, which has given me added skills in safety, emergency response, and age-appropriate care. As a student, I bring a strong sense of responsibility and time management to everything I do. I’m also flexible with scheduling, respectful of household routines, and happy to help with light chores, meals, or homework support. I’d love the opportunity to be a trusted part of your family’s support system!
