Alexandra $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Alex and I'm recent graduate of Wesleyan University. I'm offering childcare and household services. I love working with kids and have babysat (around my neighborhood growing up, no full time experience) as well as volunteered at an elementary and middle school in Middletown, CT as tutor and emotional support coach for kids. I have a car and drivers license so am able to drive if necessary. Also, I love doing fun activities like crafts and playing games to help get kids off technology! I feel comfortable cooking, cleaning, and running errands such as grocery shopping. I am comfortable with pets and pet care, and allergic to cats, but am alright with cats as long as I know in advance and can take medicine.

Lily $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Lily. I am 23 years old and I recently graduated in 2025 from Boston University Wheelock College with an undergraduate degree in Education and Human Development with a concentration in Child and Adolescent Mental Health. I have been working since September 2025 as a 1st grade general classroom Paraprofessional in a Brookline Public School. I love my job and work with lots of different kids with many different needs! I have lots of experience working with students with mild to moderate Autism and hope to obtain my masters in Special Education this coming fall. I have been babysitting and nannying since I was 13 years old and have experience ranging from toddlers to preteens. I am happy to incorporate learning into my time with your child and can plan fun activities, or take them to the park to play, whatever your goal is! I am happy to do light household chores and cook for your child. I am open to anything from occasional babysitting to a full-time nanny position from now until school begins in September. Looking forward to speaking to you:)

Emily $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Emily and I moved (with my pup!) to New England in 2023 to pursue new opportunities in my personal and professional life. During the day, I work for the local public school system as an Itinerant Teacher of the Deaf/Hard of Hearing, which means I get to work with variety of students, across a variety of ages. Over the past 10 years, I have worked in traditional preschool, Montessori, and K-12. My experience with children of all abilities ranges from toddlers to high school, and I enjoy working with them and creating meaningful relationships through mutual respect, open communication, and good-hearted silliness and play.

"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."
