Diavian $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Diavian, and caring for children is truly one of my greatest joys. I know how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your child — someone who shows up with love, patience, and consistency every single day. When your little one is with me, they will always feel safe, supported, and truly cared for. I believe in creating a warm, structured, and engaging environment where children can grow with confidence. My goal is to be a positive influence and strong role model, encouraging each child to be curious, kind, and proud of who they are. I love building long-term connections with families, and I treat every child with the same level of care and respect I’d want for my own loved ones. I’m a non-smoker, have reliable transportation, and am comfortable with pets. I’m also known for my great communication, reliability, and ability to multi-task while still giving children the attention and support they deserve. Whether you need a one-time sitter or ongoing care, I’m committed to making your life easier and your child’s day brighter. What Your Child Will Experience • A loving, patient caregiver who celebrates their personality • A safe, positive, and emotionally supportive space • Age-appropriate, stimulating activities and games • Outdoor walks, fresh air, and active play • Books, creativity, hands-on learning, and engaging routines • Healthy meals and snacks prepared with care • Positive reinforcement and gentle guidance My goal is always to keep children active, happy, engaged, and confident. I want them to feel excited when I walk through the door and secure knowing they are with someone who truly cares. You’ll never have to wonder if they’re being treated with love — that’s guaranteed. Thank you for considering me. I can’t wait to become someone your child feels comfortable with and someone you feel completely confident trusting.

Katrina 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Katrina, and I recently relocated to Boston. I have a professional background as a Direct Support Professional (DSP), where I supported individuals with diverse needs, including developmental and behavioral challenges. Through this work, I developed strong skills in patience, communication, safety awareness, and creating structured, nurturing environments. I am CPR certified and prioritize safety while still making sure children feel comfortable, engaged, and heard. I believe in being attentive, calm, and proactive — whether that means helping with routines, homework, meal prep, or simply being a steady and positive presence. Families can count on me to be reliable, organized, and respectful of household expectations. I genuinely enjoy supporting children’s growth and independence while making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m currently available for short-term, evening, and weekend care, and I look forward to connecting. $23-$27per hr

“Very pleasant human being, goes above and beyond for you and doesn't miss a day of needing to help you! She’s very patient and understanding, flexible with dates/times. If you need someone to baby sit / nanny she is the one to go to, always reliable ❤️”

sahhi $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Arlington, MA

Hello families! 🤗 I'm Sahhi , a 23-year-old I'm so excited to introduce myself as I look for a wonderful full-time nanny position, though I'm also open to part-time opportunities. I was born and raised right here in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and I've just recently graduated from college. I'm a responsible and reliable individual, holding a driver's license and committed to ensuring I can always get to work. My experience with children is quite extensive. I've had the pleasure of working in a daycare setting with children ranging from infants to toddlers, giving me a solid foundation in early childhood care. Beyond that, I've had incredibly rewarding experiences working with children of various ages and needs. I had the privilege of caring for a wonderful 9-year-old boy on the autism spectrum who was non-verbal. I've also cared for two young boys, aged three and nine, and I've found that I have a natural ability to connect with and manage children across a wide age range. My patience is one of my greatest strengths, and I truly believe in creating a nurturing and engaging environment for every child. I genuinely love working with children. They bring so much joy and happiness into life. I know that caring for kids is something I deeply enjoy and excel at. I'm eager to bring my energy, patience, and dedication to a family that's looking for a caring and capable nanny. Hope to hear from you soon!💕

India $25 per hour for 1 child

I've been a babysitter since I was fifteen years old, and I love working with children. I love reading with children and helping them learn to read while babysitting. I'm incredibly patient and take the responsibility of caretaking seriously. I look to create a fun environment that ensures each child will follow their usual routine. I'm very adaptable, and can cater to the different needs of children and their families. I'm also able to cook! I'm great with both dogs and cats- I often cat-sit for my roommate, and I've taken care of people's dogs numerous times while they were away.

"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."
