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.

Booked by 6 families in Chelsea, MA

Hi! My name is Elonga, I’m 22 years old and a recent graduate from Xavier University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. I have over 8 years of childcare experience and have worked with children ranging from newborns to 12 years old. I began babysitting at age 13, caring for my younger siblings and cousins, and later gained professional experience as an au pair for two years, where I cared for a 5-month-old infant and a 5-year-old. I am the oldest of five siblings, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple children at once and creating a structured, safe, and engaging environment. I am patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy supporting children’s growth and development. I am fluent in French and Swahili, and I also speak conversational Spanish, which can be a great bonus for multilingual households. HOURS: evenings / all day weekends! I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and maintaining routines. I am a non-smoker, fully vaccinated (including booster), and prioritize safety and communication with parents at all times. Please note: I do not drive at the moment and am not comfortable handling pet snakes. !IM CPR CERTIFIED!

“Elonga was fantastic! Our daughter had fun actively playing, doing arts, and listening to music. Look forward to the next play date! ”

Booked by 2 families in Chelsea, MA

⸻ Hi! My name is Tiara, and I’m offering child care, senior care, and household support services. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 and have experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children—including twins. My responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, arts and crafts, tutoring, meal preparation, and even helping with dance lessons. In addition to childcare, I work as a household assistant and am happy to help with cooking, cleaning, organizing, and running errands. I also have hands-on experience caring for my own grandparents and am comfortable assisting with senior care needs such as meal preparation, transportation to appointments, and companionship.

“Tiara was great! My toddler felt comfortable going right to her. She was professional and made sure my toddler had a busy, fun day when daycare was cancelled. ”

Not only was she available last minute but she was wonderful with my 2 year old daughter - I just needed someone to watch my girl so I could get some sleep, but Suely went above and beyond, bathing her, cleaning my home... she also had some great advice that she shared! She's obviously great with kids, she's very sweet and I will 100% be hiring her again! She's the real deal :)”

"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."
