More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I’ve Volunteered in my sister’s kindergarten classroom.
Babysit numerous times for family / family friends.
I have 3 years of daycare experience working mostly in an infant room as well as with toddlers -preK.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Coloring, board games, Legos, honestly anything your kid likes I’ll probably enjoy as well. I’m just a big kid at heart.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Keeping the kids safe is my top priority. Following close after is they have fun.

My experience with special needs children...

My senior year of high school, I worked with kids around my age, 18-25 in my gym class. I would help lead activities, as well as be a friend. It was a large school and the kids in the special education program had annual gym class. So I hung out with around 5-9 in that program for that gym block. I’m sure if do completely fine with younger kids as well.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Once at work, I was playing Legos with some of my kids, and they started talking about marvel, transformers, Disney. They were shocked when I started joining the conversation. That’s when I realized I have the same interests as these kids. Sometimes I’d be playing with the toys and it would take me a solid 30 seconds to realize I’m sitting playing by myself and the kids moved on. 🤣

Addison W. - Seeking Work in Westfield

Babysitter Available in Westfield, MA: Addison W.

Hi! My name is Addison and I am a college student studying elementary education. I love working with kids! I have been working at my local daycare/preschool in my hometown since I was 16 which serves children infants through pre-k. I obtained my teacher certification about 4 months ago after working as a substitute assistant teacher for 2 years. I have many hours of experience working with children in the classroom and courses in child development which allowed me to earn this certification. Besides that, I have also babysat for the families of my coworkers and students at the center I work at. I just love working with kids and believe I would be a great nanny to toddlers and pre-k aged kids! I love coming up with fun activities and games to play and have a strong understanding of where these kids are at developmentally and what they need and like to do! I am also CPR/first aid certified so I am well equipped to keep these kids safe while they have fun.
Ashley B. - Seeking Work in Westfield

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Westfield, MA: Ashley B.

I have been babysitting since I was 14yrs old! I bounced in and out of retail once I reached working age until I landed a nanny position with a 1yr old & 7yr old 4 years ago. I haven't looked back from childcare since!

Once I was no longer needed for the children, I very quickly moved into a daycare, where I stayed for 2 years! I was the head teacher for the 2yr room but also worked very closely in the 1yr room!

After I left the daycare I started in a nanny share for two families whose boys were 4m and 6m at the time! Since then I haven't looked back from being a nanny! I have worked with many families with kiddos age 3weeks to 3yrs! As a mother's helper or full time nanny!

My wife and I have also been raising our 3 nephews (10, 10 & 9) for the last 10 years along with our 5yr old niece since the day she was born!

I've applied to your listing because I think I would make a great fit for your home! I look forward to hearing back from you!
Sophia J. - Seeking Work in Westfield

Part-Time Nanny Available in Westfield, MA: Sophia J.

Hi, my name is Sophia! I am a 17 year old girl going into my freshman year of college! I love kids and am very familiar with them, as I am the oldest of 4 kids in my family. I also help out at my church with various kids programs and ministries, so I am very well acquainted with children! My college schedule is for the most part flexible as I am at school Monday- Friday from 9-1 pm, and free during weekends, so afternoons and evening work for me. I also consider myself to be a pretty tidy person so I have no problem with a little housekeeping/ cleaning. Preferably I work best with young kids that are potty trained, but if you have younger infants or toddlers that wear diapers, that’s no problem either. That’s a bit about me!!
