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.

I'm about to go into my sophomore year at the University of Vermont. I enjoy working with children of all ages and have a very flexible schedule this summer. 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 also spent time volunteering as a Girl Scout from the ages of 10-15. A lot of our volunteer work was spent doing activities with children and leading them in group activities. 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.
