I have been working with children since I was in elementary school when I was a Mother’s Helper for the first time. There I learned how to properly care for a child, from diapers and play to best practices for safety. Since then I have devoted my life to working with children, specifically special...

Testimonials
I am very excited Amy is opening an in-home daycare - this is a great fit for her family. Amy cared for my 2 kids (now 5 and 7) since they were infants. She manages multiple children really well and attends to individual needs and schedules. I have seen Amy care for her 2 kids, my kids, and my...
Amy used to nanny for our family. She is just great! You can tell working with kids is her passion. Amy is very creative and works well with groups of children
I consider Amy a child whisperer. With experience in daycares, nannying, public school and special education, she has so much knowledge and practice with children of all ages. She provides a positive attitude, nurturing environment and fun curriculum for all children. I have seen children flourish...
Environment
In Oxford, MA we have a large, finished, and child-proofed basement with a playroom. I believe a home setting for child care is vital to a child’s comfort, as it can already be difficult for a child to be away from their parents. We also have a fenced in backyard that is nice in the warm months. My...

The NeighborSchools Difference
Unlike Care.com, Yelp, or SitterCity, here at NeighborSchools we only partner with Licensed Home Daycare & Preschool Providers. These high-quality small-scale programs allow for better ratios, meaning more individualized attention for your little one. In Massachusetts, all Providers are licensed by the Dept. of Early Education & Care (EEC).
- Complete training in Safe Sleep, Childhood Nutrition, Medication Administration, and Transportation Safety
- Undergo a rigorous home environment inspection & unannounced monitoring visits from EEC Licensors throughout the year
- Maintain current Pediatric CPR & First Aid certificates
- Complete a 3-part background record check, including fingerprints
- Complete 10+ hours of professional development training annually
Many parents don‘t realize that Licensed Home Daycare & Preschool is regulated just like center-based child care. The biggest difference is that with Home Daycare your child is in the care of one experienced Provider who is wholly devoted to the children in their program. Children get the individualized attention and continuity of care they need to thrive; you get a more affordable child care option conveniently located right in your neighborhood.
