Hi! My name is McKenna, and I have a strong passion for working with children and supporting families. I worked at Build-A-Bear Workshop for a little under a year, gaining hands-on experience creating fun, engaging, and positive experiences for kids of all ages. I love being a positive role model and bringing a warm, encouraging presence into every environment. I am very energetic and naturally adapt to each child's personality and energy level. Whether that means keeping up with active play or creating calm, structured moments, I can meet kids where they are. I am also very patient, understanding, and attentive, which helps me build trust and strong connections with both children and parents. I have experience working with a wide age range, from 1 to 17-year-olds, and I value open communication with families to ensure the best possible care. I am currently in school studying to become a child therapist, so I am especially passionate about emotional support, development, and helping children feel safe and understood. I am very creative and imaginative, and I love coming up with fun activities, games, and ways to keep kids engaged and happy. I am also more than happy to provide a reference from my time at Build-A-Bear Workshop!

Hi families! My name is Jasmine, and I’m currently a rising junior at Wellesley College double majoring in Education and Psychology. I have always loved working with children because I understand how important it is for them to have someone who is patient, supportive, and trustworthy in their lives. I also understand that choosing someone to care for your child is a big decision, and I never take that trust lightly. My goal is to create an environment where children feel safe, comfortable, and encouraged to be themselves. My experience caring for children has grown naturally through my family and the relationships I have built with the children I have cared for. As an older sister, I have always helped support and look after my siblings, which taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of being attentive to each child’s individual needs. I have also had the opportunity to care for my younger cousin from infancy through his toddler years, and watching him grow has taught me so much about the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a nurturing environment. While attending Wellesley, I have also gained babysitting experience in Boston, where I have enjoyed getting to know families and helping create a safe and positive space for their children. I have experience connecting with children at different ages and stages, and I love being someone they can feel comfortable with, whether that means helping with routines, playing, learning, or simply being there to support them. I would describe myself as dependable, caring, patient, and responsible. I enjoy creating activities that allow children to explore and have fun, such as reading, music, dancing, creative activities, outdoor walks, and helping with homework. My background in Education and Psychology has also helped me better understand children’s development, emotions, and the importance of making them feel valued and heard. I also have a SafeChokeSaver certification, which has strengthened my knowledge of child safety and preparedness. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a caring, safe, and positive environment where your child feels happy, supported, and able to be themselves.

Hello! I am a compassionate, dependable caregiver with extensive experience working with children from infancy through adolescence. My background includes providing care and support to children in a variety of settings, including vulnerable and underserved populations, where patience, adaptability, and strong relationship-building skills are essential. I am passionate about helping children feel safe, supported, and engaged. I enjoy creating fun, enriching experiences through performing arts, imaginative play, crafts, sports, and other physical activities that promote confidence and creativity. I also have experience working with adolescence on the autism spectrum. Whether caring for an infant, keeping up with an energetic toddler, or connecting with a teenager, I tailor my approach to meet each child’s unique needs and interests. Families can count on me to provide attentive supervision, encourage positive behavior, and maintain a nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I am experienced with daily routines, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and age-appropriate activities that foster both emotional well-being and personal development. Additionally, I have extensive experience in the performing arts, including acting, singing, and dance. In my free time, I enjoy decorating, arts and crafts, and spending time with my family and friends. Through American Red Cross, I am certified in both Pediatric (Child and Baby) First Aid / CPR / AED, and Babysitting. My goal is to provide parents with peace of mind while ensuring their children feel cared for, respected, and encouraged to be their best selves.
