I enjoy interacting and nurturing children’s growth and development because they are filled with curiosity, joy, wonder, love, and appreciation for learning from their trusted caregivers about the world. I am filled with gratitude for the 60+ children I built relationships with at Ellis Early Learning and I learned that I do love caring for children and supporting their growth. I am amazed at children’s brilliance and how I can support their physical and emotional development with each day. When caring for and teaching children, I am reminded of these powerful quotes on education and teaching that I carried with me in my interactions with the children: (1) Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world - Nelson Mandela. (2) The teacher is of course an artist, but being an artist does not mean that he or she can make the profile, can shape the students. What the educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves. - Paulo Freire On a formal note, I most recently received my teacher certification from the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care for preschool and infants/toddlers along with other certifications: First Aid/CPR, Trauma and Resilience for Early Childhood Educators, and Early Childhood and Care Essentials. I worked in an Early Childhood Education apprenticeship in Boston, where I was placed at Ellis Early Learning for 8 months and I aced Child Growth and Development at Urban College of Boston. Overall, I am excited to meet with you and learn how I can support the needs of your growing family in a babysitting capacity.

Hi! My name is Tammy, and I’m originally from the Bay Area. I’m a nursing major focused on pediatrics, and I’m BLS and CPR certified. I’m available for babysitting, pet sitting, or house sitting. I love fostering a creative, safe, and growing environment. Over the past three years, I’ve gained experience working with children ranging from infants to teens through my roles at the YMCA, including lifeguarding, swim instructing, and coordinating the Kids Club program. I have also been babysitting for the past two years, especially through UrbanSitter, caring for children of different ages and helping with activities and daily routines. I also have experience with pet care—I’m a proud owner of a golden lab! I’d love to help out and answer any questions you might have. Feel free to reach out, and I look forward to working with you!

Hi there! I'm a 26-year-old who genuinely loves working with children and creating a safe, positive, and fun environment for them to grow in. I'm reliable, friendly, and patient, and I truly enjoy helping kids learn, play, and feel supported. I'm CPR certified and have over 6 years of caregiving experience, giving me strong skills in responsibility, communication, and attentive care. I also have excellent references available upon request. I'd love the opportunity to bring my energy and experience to your family! I also have a profile on care.com

Abigail was amazing ! It was my first time getting a sitter but she was right on time, confident, and calm. She messaged me throught the day to keep me up to date on what fun activities they were doing which really put me at ease. I returned back to a tidy home and my little girl sound asleep.
