Find a babysitter in Salem, MA

Kids are fantastic to work with. They have fantastic imaginations and a beautiful enthusiasm for so many parts of life. I love having the chance to hear about their favorite cartoon, sing along to their favorite Disney songs, and see the amazing ideas they come up with. I'm happy to play with kids, but I also take it seriously when there are rules they need to follow. Eating healthy snacks. Brushing their teeth. Going to bed. Those rules may not be things kids always want to do, but don't worry. I'll follow your schedule to a T. After all, kids also need the structure (and clean teeth) that come with less-fun habits. I am also experienced and capable at providing support for seniors, pets, or with numerous household tasks. I follow schedules well, pay attention to my charge's needs, and keep an eye on all the important details in my work. For seniors that means listening and treating them with respect. For pets it's paying attention for any mischief while caring for them. And for household chores, I just take pride in making sure I leave my workplace properly cleaned and organized. Whatever it is you need, I'm glad to help!

I’m a registered nurse with a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and years of experience caring for children and families. In addition to my nursing background, I have several years of babysitting experience with multiple families, caring for children of different ages and personalities. I’m CPR certified and am responsible, patient, attentive, dependable, and calm in unexpected situations. My nursing experience has taught me to pay close attention to detail and prioritize safety while still making sure kids have fun and feel comfortable. I’m happy to help with meals, homework, bedtime routines, activities, errands, and light household tasks. I’m warm, energetic, trustworthy, and easygoing, and I genuinely love spending time with kids. I’m also a huge animal lover and am comfortable caring for pets, including feeding, walks, and general care. Overall, I’m someone families can feel comfortable trusting in their home, and I always strive to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own family.
