I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Being that I come from a large family, I naturally stepped into the role of a caregiver early on. Beyond that, I’ve actively cared for my nieces and nephews, building a strong foundation in child care. My experience has taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of creating a safe, nurturing environment for children to thrive. Whether it’s assisting with homework, planning engaging activities, preparing meals, or maintaining household routines, I take pride in ensuring kids feel supported and valued. I’m also skilled at balancing structure with fun, understanding the unique needs of children at different developmental stages. From soothing infants to mentoring teens, I’ve learned to tailor my approach to each child’s personality and needs. I have a natural ability to connect with people of all ages, which extends to seniors and even pets, having provided companionship and assistance for older family members and cared for household pets. My reliability, strong work ethic, and passion for caregiving make me a great fit for any family seeking a dependable and compassionate helper.

Hello! My name is Sahra. I am a Boston native studying at Northeastern University. I offer child care, pet-care, and household services. I’ve been professionally babysitting for 4 years now. Prior to that I’ve worked at a preschool. I’ve also babysat for family members and family friends practically my whole life. I don’t have my drivers licenses, so picking kids up from school maybe a little difficult, but if the school is walking distance, I can certainly do that! I can also help with homework and tutoring (I currently tutor high school students). I’m also available to cook, clean, and run errands. Pet care - I have a cat of my own, so anything cat care I would love to help out with!

Hi! I’m a current master’s student at Boston University with several years of experience working with children. I’ve babysat for families and also worked with younger kids as a preschool assistant (ages 3–5) and as a summer camp counselor at Steve & Kate’s with children ages 4–12. I love engaging kids through crafts, sports, and creative games, and I make sure they’re having fun in a safe environment. I’m also CPR, First Aid, and lifeguard certified, and comfortable around both dogs and cats.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
