Booked by 46 families in Mattapan, MA

Hello! My name is Nyeka but I prefer to be called Nikki. I am a certified emergency medical technician with expertise in CPR and basic life support. What sets me apart! 1. I am a patient, protective, nurturing, responsible and caring child caregiver with a passion for childcare. I understand the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment for children to thrive in. I don’t just see this as a gig! Every child who is under my supervision, is treated with respect… they are loved and cared for as though they are my own family. 2. I have 15 years paid experience working with children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. 3. I do not do screen time! My approach to is both interactive and engaging, as I love organizing fun and educational activities for the kids I care for. Whether it’s reading books, arts and crafts, at home play, trips to parks, museums, libraries, playgrounds, language development/tummy time for infants, or helping with homework for school age children, I strive to make each moment enjoyable and enriching for the children. 4. Additionally, I am happy to assist with light housekeeping and meal preparation centered around the children to support the smooth running of the household. 5. I pride myself on being an effective communicator who respects personal boundaries. I prioritize open communication with the parents and children to foster a positive and trusting relationship. I look forward to the opportunity to provide exceptional care for your little ones! NOTE: For night sitting that goes beyond 10 PM, I require an Uber back home for safety reasons!

Hi, I’m Ayanna! I’m a caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children and pets. I’ve had the privilege of supporting families by caring for children ranging in age from newborns to teenagers (up to age 14), adapting my approach to meet each child’s unique developmental needs. My background includes everything from infant care and sleep routines to homework help, creative play, and emotional support. I have a bachelor's in Psychology and I’m currently pursuing a Master's in education. I am also trained and certified by the American Red Cross in CPR, First Aid, and Advanced Child Care—ensuring that safety and preparedness are always a priority in my care. In addition to working with children, I have extensive experience caring for pets, including dogs, cats, and other small animals. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I bring the same level of attentiveness and warmth to animal care as I do to childcare. Above all, I believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can thrive and families feel supported.

Bermarie $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, dependable, and patient person with a natural love for helping others—especially children and animals. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for kids of all ages through babysitting and volunteering in after-school programs, where I learned the importance of patience, creativity, and keeping children engaged in fun and safe activities. I’m also comfortable caring for pets, from walking dogs to making sure they’re well-fed and loved. In addition, I’m experienced with household tasks like light cleaning, organizing, meal prep, and maintaining a tidy space. My nurturing personality, strong sense of responsibility, and attention to detail make me someone families can truly rely on to provide a warm, safe, and positive environment for both their loved ones and their home.

"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."
