Hello! My name is Aimee, I am 20 years old and I am experienced in child care. I worked at a daycare in Springfield for almost a year with newborns and pre school aged children. The past two years I have been babysitting two boys part time and occasional weekends with a different family in Chatham who have 4 children. I am extremely reliable, trustworthy and up beat. All kids that I have worked with in the past seemed to take a quick liking to me.

Hi, my name is Marissa, and I would love to tell you a little about myself. I am a huge animal lover, I love reading, swimming, and spending time with my family. I have been taking care of children since I was 16 years old. Some of the positions I've had were being a babysitter, a nanny, a mother's helper, and a daycare assistant. I am currently working on getting my Associate's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I have also taken many classes on how I can improve the care and well being of the children I take care of. I have experience taking care of children between the ages of 3 weeks old to 14-year-olds. I love coming up with fun arts and crafts projects that encourage creativity, going on fun and educational outings like going to the library, the museum, the beach, the zoo, going to events geared towards children, and many more places. I also enjoy coming up with fun activities to do: doing science experiments, baking, exploring the outdoors, going on walks, and reading

I have over 20 years of experience working with kids of all ages. I enjoy doing crafts, reading, playing games, going to the zoo, parks or other local attractions. I am not one to just sit and let the child play on their own while I am watching them, I believe in playing along side of the child in whatever they are doing. I have been a nanny for several families over the years and most recently worked at an in home daycare where we had 14 children ranging from 3 months - 4 years old and was in this capacity until June of 2025, when they daycare closed due to retirement of the owner. I look forward to hearing from you! Amy

Hi! My name is Maria. I did not grow up with any siblings but always hoped for a younger sibling. Working with kids makes me feel like I have a built in best friend like a younger sibling.

I typically work with 8-10 kids ages 3 to 4 but I have experience with ages 2 to 5. I love working in a child care center but I am looking to work more one on one with 1 to 2 kids. I am CPR certified and have completed health and safety professional development courses. I am going to school starting in 2024 for early childhood education. Just a silly fun fact about me is I have a cat named Potato and I love the brand "Oh Snap pickles"

Mikayla G.

Hi! My name is Mikayla, and I would love to come hang out with your kiddos! I am currently getting my Master's degree in Social Work and am looking for a part-time job. I worked at a daycare this past summer with toddlers, and I absolutely loved it! The kids that I hung out with were so curious and funny, and it was so cool to watch them discover things every day! I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I am more than willing to include pet care and light housekeeping during my visits. I am a huge proponent on communication, and I love to encourage the kids that I work with to express their emotions, know that it's okay to be feeling big emotions, and to have someone who can comfort them anytime they need. I worked with 12 toddlers on a daily basis, so I am quick on my feet in times of need, and I know how to de-escalate situations. I would love to answer any questions you may have! Thanks for your consideration. :)
