I graduated from Fitchburg State in May 2024 with a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. I currently work at a daycare with nine kids a day from 12 months old to 23 months old.

Hello, my name is Marcia, I have 15 years of experience in private care, I love my job because I care for everyone as if they were a member of my family. For the past three years, I've dedicated myself to providing exceptional care for dogs and cats. I prioritize each pet's comfort and happiness by ensuring a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine. I reinforce positive behaviors and good manners. I strictly adhere to feeding schedules and manage high-energy breeds with active play. I am vigilant in observing pets for any signs of distress. In emergencies, I remain calm, follow pre-discussed plans, and immediately communicate any concerns. I have emergency contact information readily available. I find joy in helping shy pets feel comfortable and loved. I am punctual, responsible, and kind. My goal is to offer you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in capable hands. I would love to provide a loving environment for your pet!

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.

I spent 2-3 years working as a certified behavioral technician with children who have autism and special needs, including nonverbal kids and children with challenging behaviors. That experience taught me deep patience, consistency, and how to connect with kids who communicate differently. I recently graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a degree in Computer Science and am in my gap year, which means I have a flexible schedule and a lot of availability. I've also babysat my younger cousins throughout my life and am comfortable with everything from diapering and feeding infants to homework help and activities with older kids. I have my own car and am happy to drive. I'm also a cat owner and comfortable with pets.
