Sheila
Hello! I’m a dedicated childcare provider and early education professional with a genuine passion for helping children learn, grow, and feel loved. I have worked with children from newborns to the age of 20 years old. As a mother of a new college student who also was attended childcare, I understand the trust families place in a caregiver, and I bring that same care, patience, and attentiveness to every child I look after. With experience as a nanny and babysitter, I create a safe, nurturing environment where children can explore, play, and develop confidence. I enjoy supporting early learning through age-appropriate activities, reading, creative play, routines, and gentle guidance. I believe every child is unique and deserves to be treated with kindness, respect, and plenty of encouragement. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each child’s emotional and developmental needs. My goal is to make families feel at ease knowing their children are in caring, capable hands. sheila

Rachel
Hi! I’m Rachel. I grew up as the middle child with an older brother and a younger brother, so taking care of kids has pretty much been part of my life from the start. I spent a lot of time helping with my little brother, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to handle the unexpected. I also have a dog at home, so I’m super comfortable around pets and love having them around while I’m babysitting. Last summer, I worked as a camp counselor at a drowning-prevention camp in Uganda, where I helped kids ages 4–12. It was one of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had, and it really strengthened my ability to work with different personalities and energy levels. I currently tutor a few middle schoolers in science over Zoom and have experience teaching a student with ADHD, so I’m familiar with supporting different learning needs. I also help my friends’ younger siblings with homework pretty often. Overall, I love being around kids, staying engaged with them, and creating a fun and safe environment. I’d be excited to get to know your family!
Kostoula
Hi my name is Kostoula Dalavouras. I have hands-on experience in early childhood education, where I focus on supporting and nurturing the developmental needs of young children. In addition to my professional background, I also have personal experience caring for my neighbors kids and my 1-year-old godson and my nephews, who are 1.5 and 2 years old. This has given me a deep understanding of the different stages of development and the needs of children at various ages. I enjoy babysitting on weekends and weekday nights, creating a safe, engaging, and fun environment where kids can thrive. Whether through play, learning, or offering comfort, I love seeing children grow and develop in a positive, supportive atmosphere.
Fiona
I am a first-year student at Curry College majoring in Elementary Education. I am looking for part-time work while I am in school. It has been my dream to teach since I was six years old and I am committed to making that dream a reality. For the past five summers I have worked as a camp counselor, attending to children ages six to thirteen. I have led these kids through arts and crafts, mealtimes, outdoor activities, and summer school projects. I spent much of my time guiding hyperactive and neurodivergent students through tedious art projects and complex social situations. Additionally I have worked as a teachers assistant in a kindergarten classroom. My main duties were filing, cleaning, and one-on-one reading assistance. I am skilled in communication, engagement, arts and crafts, and organization. Transparency, kindness, and care are my guiding values.
