I work a full time job working 2nd shift and 3rd shift 4 days a week and looking for some part time work. I don't mind picking up from school and or after school activities and enjoying time with a child that is well behaved (most of the time ) I am funny, witty, and enjoy laughing and making memories.

A little bit about me
With over two years of direct experience working in childcare settings and a genuine desire to support children’s development, I am committed to providing a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment for each child in my care. In my previous role, I aided in organizing and leading engaging activities, as well as facilitated transitions and routines. This experience affirmed my belief that children thrive when educators prioritize their individual needs. Beyond my professional skills, I also bring a welcoming and inclusive attitude.

A little bit about me
Recent graduate from UMASS with a BS in Psychology. I am currently working in restate until I go back to school to be a school guidance counselor. I have realized that I may have too much empathy and energy for a cooperate job. I have at least another year and a half until I go back for my masters and would love to work with kids during that time. I come from a big family, youngest of 3, so I have a tremendous amount of experience taking care of my 5 nieces and nephews.
My goal: take care of your children as if they were a part of my own family and show them that while life can be hard sometimes, we should always try to put our best foot forward and look at the glass as half full, rather than half empty.
Thank you!

A little bit about me
I have experience providing attentive and reliable childcare in both informal and structured settings. I’ve cared for children of various ages, helping with daily routines such as meals, homework, and bedtime. I focus on creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment by organizing activities like games, reading, and creative play. I also prioritize clear communication with parents to ensure their expectations are met and their children’s needs are consistently supported.
What I love most about childcare is building meaningful connections with children and watching them grow and learn. I enjoy encouraging their creativity, supporting their confidence, and being part of their everyday milestones whether it’s helping them understand something new or simply making them smile.
