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'd love to meet your family!

Hi, I'm Avery! Looking for part time postions in Arlington or towns neiborhing
Hi, I'm Avery! I'm a current student at Arlington High School and am enrolled in the Early Childhood Education program, which gives important and valuable information about child development. I have 5+ years of childcare experience. I used to be a swim instructor and have CPR and lifesaver training for all ages and would be happy to give swim lessons for an increased fee. I currently have a driver's license but inconsistent access to a car so if children need to be picked up/dropped off I would need access to a vehicle. Looking forward to meeting you!

Hi! My name is Olivia, I’ve been babysitting since 2020. I am CPR and First Aid certified, additionally I have been through cross-culture training and I am willing to babysit any child! I have zero allergies, but I do have celiac disease so I understand the severity of allergies and food safety. Additionally, I used to tutor in a variety of subjects (besides Math) and I am willing to help your child(ren) with any summer work they may have.
I have worked with children on the autism spectrum briefly and have also once worked with a child who had a cleft lip. I am willing to learn about your child’s needs in order to take care of them while you leave them in my care. I am comfortable with giving them medication or any sort of treatment that is needed.
