Hello!! My name is Sharen and I am currently a housewife and entrepreneur. I am offering childcare, senior care, pet care, and household services.

Raquel $15 per hour for 1 child

I am currently a college student at Emmanuel College looking for a part-time job. I grew up in a small town in Massachusetts. I’ve always loved children and taking care of them. I find joy and excitement coming up with different activities to entertain them. I am very creative in that aspect. Growing up I would watch my younger cousins when necessary. In high school, I helped out at the after school program and had an internship with first grade classes. This summer I worked a summer camp with ages ranging from 2 years old to 8 years old.

Jillian $25 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been working with children for over 10 years, and caring for kids has always been so much more than just a job to me. 🤍 My experience ranges from overnight newborn care and caring for infant twins to working with children with special needs, school-age children, and pre-teens. I’ve also cared for family pets and have experience dog sitting, so I’m happy to help with furry family members too! 🐶 I currently work as a Tech Aide at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and hold my BLS certification. I’m responsible, dependable, patient, and comfortable caring for children with a variety of needs. Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to become a trusted part of many families’ lives. To me, babysitting isn’t simply showing up for a few hours. It’s building a relationship with the children, creating a safe and nurturing environment, and becoming someone they know and trust. The families I work with often become like family to me, and that’s what makes this work so special. 🧸🤍

Dannah $17 per hour for 1 child

I am 37 years old, I majored in english and literature so I love writing and reading and I will definitely read to kids. I am quiet, friendly and very understanding. I am helpful and will take my time with kids to give them the best care ever. I have no kids of my own, but I've babysat my younger siblings, nieces, nephews and of course other kids. I love to babysit because it is so beautiful to see the different personalities of such little beings, I love the different ways babies communicate when they can't even talk yet because it shows how intelligent children are even at such tender ages. I love teaching them and I just love taking care of them... Thanks for considering my profile, Dannah. Bless

"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."
