Amelia $15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Upton, MA

Hi! I’m Amelia, I am currently a college student studying psychology and an associate teacher in an early childhood care center. I’ve spent years working with children of all ages; infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school‑age kids, through babysitting, teaching, youth leadership, and community programs. I love getting to know each child’s personality and creating an environment where they feel comfortable, supported, and excited to be themselves. With infants and toddlers, I’m confident with feeding, diapering, soothing, nap routines, sensory play, and early developmental milestones. I’m calm, patient, and very comfortable reading cues and creating a predictable, nurturing space. With older kids, I enjoy homework help, creative projects, outdoor time, structured activities, and supporting emotional regulation and independence. I adapt easily to shy, energetic, sensitive, or spirited kids and meet them exactly where they are. I’m passionate about helping children explore the world around them. Whether that’s going outside, doing hands‑on activities, or finding small everyday moments that spark curiosity and joy. Families describe me as warm, reliable, organized, and easy to communicate with. I value building strong relationships with parents and keeping communication clear and consistent. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, don’t smoke, and happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and maintaining routines. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and grow confidently. Please be sure of your hours before booking. You are responsible for the full hours listed, even if you arrive home early. I’m more than happy to extend hours as long as there is clear communication ahead of time. This helps me plan my schedule and ensures I can give your family the best care possible.

Nicole $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!

$27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Upton, MA

Hi there! My name is Grace, and I specialize in infant care, though I truly enjoy working with children at every stage of development. I’m attentive to the unique needs of babies, children, and their families, and I prioritize building strong relationships through open, honest communication. I create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore and grow. I’m also happy to assist with errands, light meal prep, house-sitting, and caring for pets and plants. I take pride in being reliable, warm, and supportive, and I value becoming a trusted, consistent presence in a family’s daily routine. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family!

“I can’t recommend Grace enough! She was our nanny for my daughter and another child for 3 years. She kept the kids busy with walks, activities and outings by car or public transit. My daughter still talks about her days with Grace fondly! From infancy through toddlerhood, Grace was a joy to have in our home, cherished our kids as if they were her own, and truly enjoyed her time with them. Any family will be lucky to have Grace!”
