Hi! My name is Shivapriya, but I go by Shugi! I’m currently a senior at Westfield State University and have moved back to my hometown of Ashland, MA, where I’ll be completing my final semester from home. I absolutely love working with kids and have several years of experience in childcare and youth programs! I’ve worked as a tutor, summer camp staff member (2023 & 2024), and Site Coordinator for a school-age program near my university (2024–2026). As a Site Coordinator, I was responsible for supervising groups of up to 22 children, managing and supporting my staff, planning activities, and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for every child. I am EEC and First Aid certified and have completed all of my required Redwoods trainings and certifications. I was born and raised in Massachusetts and am also fluent in both English and Tamil! Outside of school and childcare, I Read more love staying active and being outdoors, cooking, baking, and doing arts and crafts. I’m also currently working toward becoming certified as a fitness instructor, as health and fitness have become another passion of mine! I’m very adaptable and comfortable working with children of different ages, personalities, and interests. I’m also more than happy to help out with furry family members! My goal is to create an environment where your children feel safe, comfortable, engaged, and, most importantly, have fun. I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your family!

Shugi has looked after my boys (ages 4 & &) a couple of times and they keep asking for her to come back! Shugi proactively communicates, is trustworthy, punctual and reliable.

Had the first (hopefully of many) sitting session; Shugi was engaged and friendly. My little one loved the attention!

Shugi jumped in last minute to help us with a whole afternoon plus driving our kids all the way to Boston. She was super personable and responsible and even helped put together our daughter’s new bike. She was great with the kids and they had lots of fun. She was very punctual, and managed the kids well in getting them where we needed them to be on time and even a little early! :) We felt safe and comfortable with her. We will book her again!
