As a dedicated childcare provider with nine years of experience, I am passionate about nurturing the well-being and development of children. My journey in caregiving began with fulfilling babysitting roles, where I discovered my knack for fostering a safe and stimulating environment for kids. My patient, calm, and creative personality enables me to engage children with imaginative games and educational activities that enhance their learning. I believe in open and consistent communication with parents, ensuring they are informed about their child's day and any matters that arise. I happily adapt to parents' preferred communication methods. Regarding household rules, I follow the parents' guidance, respecting their parenting style and expectations. My diverse skill set includes First Aid Training, CPR Training, and certification as a teacher. I am experienced in caring for children aged 0 to 11.

Hello my name is Wayna, I am 19 years old. I was born and raised in Jamaica I came to the U.S when I was 11 ever since I was young I always wanted to be a pediatrician because I love kids and love seeing them happy. I grew up watching all my cousins from feeding them to changing their diapers to them taking naps and also potty trained them. I’m really good with kids, I’m calm patient and very understanding. Babysitting is an absolute joy for me! I love it because it allows me to connect with kids, their innocence, and their unique perspectives on life. It's like opening a window to a world full of imagination and endless possibilities. Plus, their energy and enthusiasm are infectious, it can truly brighten my day. I also appreciate the responsibility that comes with it, as it helps me grow as a person. And let's not forget, the joy of seeing them learn new things and grow is beyond rewarding. It's a job that's filled with love, laughter, and life lessons.

My name is Brianna and I am located in East Brookfield. I have over 5 years of experience nannying and even longer babysitting! I have cared for children ages 2 weeks to 18 years old. I currently am part time nanny (3 days a week) to a 12 month old girl and part time nanny a 4 month old boy (2 days a week). I have recently started providing part time care to a 3 month old boy! I have most evenings available as well as day availability on weekends! The last child I was with for 2 years had severe food allergies so I am comfortable and confident in safe food techniques and know how to handle allergy and treatment plans. I also have experience with children that had speech delays and have attended speech therapy and early intervention play group and learned a lot from this. I do take an authoritative approach (gentle parenting) to nannying; not to be confused with permissive. Throughout my years I have cared for up to 6 children in a home, children with disabilities, and multiples. I love doing fun activities throughout the day like crafts and age appropriate learning activities, visiting the local libraries for events like story time or going to the park. I also love pets and am comfortable with big dogs! | have a golden retriever, American Bulldog, and English Mastiff in my house! I do light house work, meal prep and household errands. I am CPR and First Aid certified, smoke free, clean driving record. I have a bachelors degree in Political Science but I have been a full time nanny for over 2 years and have done part time nanny for 3 years before that. I decided to be a full time nanny instead of going into political science because I really love it! I enjoy watching children grow into smart, independent, confident and kind people! A little bit about me is I love reading, gardening, hanging out with my dog and going to concerts! I would love to chat more about being added to your babysitter rotation!

Hello! My name is Annie and one of my passions in life is being an educator, especially in an early educational setting with a focus on all things related to nature and our beautiful planet. Being an educator is important to me and fulfills my existence because I just love life so much, I love people, I love animals, I love this earth and the best way I know to show my gratitude is by nurturing and educating humans at the start of their beautiful journey in this life. I feel that part of what makes me a great child care provider and educator is that I have a ton of love to give, I have extreme patience, an open mind, and I love to have fun (I’ll always be a kid at heart). I have lots of experience with children and in many different aspects; I have been a full time nanny, ran an elementary age home school group for farm children, worked for years as a full time substitute teacher in a middle/high school for performing arts students, I have a college degree in early education, I worked for 5 years as a care provider at a daycare working with children from infants to pre-K as a lead teacher, and I have spent the past 2 years as a stay at home mom!! I graduated with high honors from Holyoke Community College where I obtained my associates degree in early education and am a member of Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society. I am EEC certified as a lead teacher in both infants/toddler as well as preschool/pre-k and I am CPR and first aid certified. Part of my skill set includes working in others homes, not only working with children of all ages but animals as well, and doing house cleaning and gardening/farm work too! I worked for a number of years on a small family owned farm where I spent my days doing hard manual farm labor, spending time with the children educating, playing, and going on fun outings, and doing any and all housework the family needed. I've also worked for a number of years as a full-time professional dog walker in Boston where I not only cared for 25 dogs but did a ton of housesitting and dog sitting as well! I am currently looking to fill my evenings with some work outside the home and want nothing more than to get back into childcare. I don't plan to go back into teaching full time until my daughter is of school age so I figured this avenue would be a great start! Thank you for taking the time and energy to read my bio, wishing you the best!

Hi my name is Kiara! I’ve been babysitting since I was about 13yrs old. I was always the designated babysitter in the family and that opened the door for me to start caring for other children. I have been a nanny for the last 2-3 years and I work well with children any age. I learn their routine and that helps me build a great relationship with that child as well as the family. My goal is to have my own daycare one day.
