A little bit about me
I have always loved working with kids. I grew up with younger twin siblings that I constantly watched over. In my teenage years I did small babysitting jobs every now and then. In 2019 I started working at the People's Institute daycare center in downtown Northampton. On weekdays I would pick the kids up from school and bring them to the daycare where we did tons of fun activities such as; arts and crafts, reading, swimming, board games, sports, and occasionally watch movies! I had such a positive experience and enjoyed every second I spent with the kids. The job taught me countless responsibility and leadership skills. Other tasks I had to complete were, preparing meals and snacks, giving medical attention to kids, and conflict resolution. I was so inspired by my love of working with children that I decided to make a career out of it and I will be majoring in Secondary Education.

A little bit about me
Hello! I am Anna Clara Walsh. I have been nannying and babysitting since I was 14 and I am 20 now. I absolutely love working with children of all ages have always found it to be something I excel at and enjoy. I have two cats so I love pets as well. I am an attentive person which helps when caring for children because I can be very flexible with what the child may nee din the moment. I love adventures and being creative as well as animals. I have had the privilege of going to a Waldorf school from first grade to eighth grade so I am familiar with the Waldorf philosophies and practices. I have volunteered with special needs children before and it was an absolute joy. Once again working with children has always been one of the most fulfilling things I have ever done.

Hello!
My name is Amelia, though most kids call me by my nickname, Mimi! 😊 I’m a recent graduate from the University of Sussex in England, and I’m back home for the next year.
I’ve been caring for little ones since I got my first babysitting job at 13. While I have a special love for newborns, I also have years of experience working with toddlers and even adults with special needs. I pride myself on being hands-on and organized, and I enjoy cooking and keeping things clean and tidy. I love being goofy and creative with children, but I also understand the importance of creating a structured environment full of love and clear boundaries.
I’m currently looking for both full-time and part-time nanny positions and would love to start before the new year.
I understand that finding the right nanny is an important and delicate process, and I’m more than happy to answer any questions and be a part of whatever steps help you feel confident in your decision.

I feel incredibly happy to share these with kids, and would love to help them foster their own interests and talents in any way I can!
I am also more than willing to help with other tasks such as cleaning, meal prep, and small errands. I also adore dogs, cats, and all other pets, and am comfortable working in pet-friendly environments! In general, I strive to be adaptable: I'm always willing to make accommodations in order to prioritize the safety and comfort of kids and their parents.

How to Hire a Weekend Nanny in Amherst, MA

What Is a Weekend Nanny?
A weekend nanny cares for your children on Saturdays, Sundays, or both. Some weekend nannies work every weekend, and others are available for the occasional weekend when you have an event, a trip, or a work commitment. Many have another job during the week, so they are often flexible about shorter shifts and one-off dates.
Common Responsibilities of Weekend Nannies in Amherst, MA
Weekend care looks a lot like any other nanny job: supervising play, preparing meals and snacks, getting children to activities, and keeping to nap and bedtime routines. Because weekends are often busier and more active, you may also ask for help with outings, birthday parties, sports games, or family errands.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Be clear about the days and hours you need, whether the schedule is regular or occasional, and how much notice you can give. Rates and pay rules, including how weekend hours are paid, vary by state or province, so agree the details in writing and consider using nanny payroll to keep it simple. If you only need a few weekends a year, say so up front so nannies can plan around it.
Weekend Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Which weekends are you available, and how much notice do you need?
- Do you work every weekend or only occasionally?
- Are you comfortable with outings and activities, and with driving the children if needed?
- Are you trained in First Aid or CPR?
- What rate do you charge for weekend shifts?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
