Booked by 2 families in Cambridge, MA

Hi! I’m a Northeastern University student with several years of childcare experience from working in a daycare and babysitting for families. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, helping with routines, playtime, and early learning like ABCs and basic skills. I’m very patient, reliable, and love creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for kids. I’m also comfortable helping with homework, meals, and bedtime routines. I have CPR and first aid knowledge (currently renewing certification), and I take safety very seriously. I’m available for occasional, part-time, or consistent weekly care and would love to support your family!

Julissa $28 per hour for 1 child

I was raised with significant caregiving responsibilities from a young age, which shaped my patience, resilience, and sense of responsibility. I naturally stepped into a caregiver role for my younger siblings, supporting their daily routines, school needs, and emotional well-being during a challenging family period. These experiences taught me empathy, structure, and how to remain calm and reliable in any situation. As a caregiver, I bring strong organization, warmth, and attentiveness. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and structured environment where children feel supported and encouraged. I am dependable, adaptable, and genuinely committed to helping children thrive while supporting families in their daily routines.

I’ve cared for children in school settings, at home, and in my community, and I bring lots of positive energy, patience, and creativity to every babysitting job. Along with keeping kids engaged and happy, I prioritize safety above all else, my EMT background means I’m trained to stay calm, attentive, and prepared in any situation. If you’re looking for a sitter who’s fun, reliable, and deeply safety-focused, I’d love to support your family!

"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."
