Nicole Worcester
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Nicole and I am a 20 year old student-athlete who is back in town for winter break. I have grown up surrounded by so much family, which I am extremely grateful for. I have years of experience watching three of my younger cousins, ages from an infant, a three year old, and a five year old. Additionally, I watched over my high school volleyball coach’s three kids with similar ages, and several different families who associated with her! My mom raised three children herself, so I understand how difficult it can be to balance work and finding care for your child. While I’m home, I’d love to help as much as possible with the additional time I have!

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Jordan and I have been working in childcare since 2015. I went to a tech high school and got my preschool certification there and then went on to a community college and got certified with working with infants and toddlers. Working with children is my passion and it fills my heart with so much joy! I’m patient, loving, a big kid at heart, and give my all with everything that I do. I am mainly looking for night care and occasional date nights. I look forward to meeting you!

Liani Springfield
$17 per hour for 1 child

I am an 18-year-old high school senior pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice while gaining professional experience to eventually work in the legal field. As the oldest of four children, caregiving has always been a natural part of my life. I have extensive babysitting experience within my neighborhood, caring for children ranging from 4 months old to 15 years old and also have experience working with children with autism and learning disabilities. I am responsible, patient, and highly attentive, with a strong ability to adapt to different age groups and individual needs. I am currently working toward CPR certification and prioritize safety, structure, and compassion in everything I do. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable assisting with household tasks and maintaining an organized, supportive environment. My background has helped me develop strong communication skills, reliability, and a calm, caring approach that families can trust.

Providence
$27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Southbridge, MA

Hello! My name is Kennedy, or Ken for short! I am 26 years old and am an elder sister to four younger siblings, who now range from age 12 to 18. I have helped in caring for each of them since I was 12 years old. This has included picking and dropping them off at school, preparing meals, bathing, preparing for bedtime, playing board games, and other fun activities! Outside of my personal experience, I have volunteered for childcare at different organizations in my community as well. I am a recent college graduate with a degree in Psychology and Behavioral Health Studies, and I have experience in studying adolescence and childhood development alongside my hands-on experience. In addition to growing up with many siblings, I also have experience in caring for a broad range of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and bearded dragons! I can also provide aid with basic household chores as well. I love working with kids and getting to play again as an adult! Some of my interests include reading, yoga, exploring the outdoors, crocheting, and making jewelry. I currently work as a barista in the mornings and volunteer at a mental health clinic in the afternoons, so my availability is mostly in the evenings, though I am willing to find flexibility on days when I can! I would love to speak more to see if I would be a good fit for you :)

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
