Hi! I'm Micah Gilpin, 21, from Newton, MA. I've been babysitting since I was 12 and have over 8 years of childcare experience with kids ages 1-14, across babysitting, sports camps, and sailing programs.
Until this summer, I was a camp director at a sailing camp in Orleans, managing 30+ campers daily — overseeing safety, supervising staff, and building lesson plans. I'm CPR, First Aid, and Stop the Bleed certified, and have experience with children with diabetes, hearing loss, food allergies, and autism. I've also coached field hockey, lacrosse, and soccer camps. I have my own car and a clean driving record, so I'm flexible for transportation needs.
A bit more about me: I'm a Biology and Global Health major at UW–Madison, involved in Alpha Xi Delta and club field hockey and lacrosse. I love the outdoors, arts and crafts (drawing, sewing, painting), and even have a graphic design certificate. I'm also a huge animal lover, so I'm completely comfortable with pets in the home too! I'm energetic, responsible, and creative, and I love connecting with kids in fun, safe, and enriching ways.
I can travel a few suburbs/towns away from Newton for work.

Hi everyone! My name is Melissa Morgan, and I am currently a junior in college. I am offering childcare as well as pet care services.
In terms of pet care, I was the most active during my senior year of high school as I took care of the pets of friends and family, as well as some teachers. I have continued these services throughout my last 2 years of college and have been the most available during my breaks. I have 3 years of pet care experience under my belt; I offer help with pet training, dog walking, and in-home care for dogs and cats.
I also provide childcare services. I have 2 years of experience, as I have babysat for neighbors and local families. I work with children ages 3-10. I am CPR and Narcan certified, available to drive locally (such as nearby parks/playgrounds), and help with homework, daily activities, cooking, and baking.
I can travel a few suburbs/towns away from Boston for work.

I worked at the New Art Center in Newton and my main duties involved taking care of the children during recess, lunch, and in art classes.

I'm open to working late nights, putting the kids to bed, cleaning up after them, preparing meals, and more. I am also very experienced in pet care and have 5 pets of my own. Looking forward to working with you.
