$19 per hour for 1 child

I am a caring, dependable, and energetic single mom and grandmother with a lifelong passion for helping others. I raised three children—now adults—and I’m a proud grandmother to an almost‑three‑year‑old grandson who keeps me laughing and on my toes every other weekend. Now that my own children are grown, I find myself missing the chaos that comes with caring for little ones and would love to support families who could use an extra, trusted set of hands. I have extensive hands‑on experience which includes my own children with food allergies and ADHD. Safety, structure, and compassion are always my top priorities. I’m a “hands‑on” caregiver who truly enjoys getting down on the floor to play, read, laugh, and keep kids engaged. Having raised children involved in multiple sports and activities, I understand busy schedules, routines, and the importance of consistency in daily life. In addition to child care, I have a deep respect and sensitivity for senior care. I have helped care for my father in his later years and continue to assist my mother, giving me valuable experience with companionship, errands, shopping, and attentiveness to daily needs. I believe meaningful conversation, patience, and dignity make all the difference. I’m also an animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats. I currently have my own dog, Black Lab Mix named Luna and grew up surrounded by cats, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and general pet care. Previously, I was a Girl Scout Leader for an 8th–12th grade troop, which strengthened my leadership, organizational, and mentoring skills. Professionally, I work full‑time at a local company where I’ve been happily employed for over 30 years. I love my job and am seeking opportunities to help families, seniors, and pet owners on evenings or weekends while earning a little extra income—without ever compromising my current job. If you’re looking for someone nurturing, experienced, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in the well‑being of your loved ones, I would be honored to help.

$23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Winnie! I’m 26 years old and recently moved to Rhode Island from Boston, MA. I offer childcare, pet care, house sitting, and household services. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Social Work with a certification in trauma. I currently work as a clinical social worker at Boston Medical Center, and caring for others has always been at the center of my life. I began working with children at 16 in a small daycare in East Boston, where I am originally from. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with infants, toddlers, and children of different ages. My responsibilities have included: • Creating engaging curriculum for toddlers in both English and Spanish • Managing daily schedules, including naps and mealtimes • Leading crafts, circle time, sensory play, and outdoor activities at the park • Completing medication reports and ensuring a safe, nurturing environment My passion for working with children has grown through these experiences, and I continue to bring patience, creativity, and reliability to every family I work with. Along with childcare, I can also assist with household tasks such as cleaning, organizing, and running errands to help make your day-to-day life a little easier. I am allergic to cats, but I’m more than happy to care for dogs. I am hoping that we can connect soon!

Hi - My name is Margaret. I'm a paraprofessional in an integrated (special needs and traditional education) preschool classroom at Placentino Elementary in Holliston. I’m looking for additional hours working with children and families after school, on school holidays, and weekends. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household services. I live in Holliston with two of my own and two step children in their teenage and young adult years, and two dogs. I had cats for two decades prior to 2020. I’ve been an active member of the PTA for many of my children’s school years, have experience in ABA and working with neurodiverse children and adults with traits or official diagnosis of ADHD. autism, and dyslexia. I am also a certified yoga instructor working towards an additional yoga certification for neurodiverse children and adults.
