Katrina 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Katrina, and I recently relocated to Boston. I have a professional background as a Direct Support Professional (DSP), where I supported individuals with diverse needs, including developmental and behavioral challenges. Through this work, I developed strong skills in patience, communication, safety awareness, and creating structured, nurturing environments. I am CPR certified and prioritize safety while still making sure children feel comfortable, engaged, and heard. I believe in being attentive, calm, and proactive — whether that means helping with routines, homework, meal prep, or simply being a steady and positive presence. Families can count on me to be reliable, organized, and respectful of household expectations. I genuinely enjoy supporting children’s growth and independence while making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m currently available for short-term, evening, and weekend care, and I look forward to connecting. $23-$27per hr

“Very pleasant human being, goes above and beyond for you and doesn't miss a day of needing to help you! She’s very patient and understanding, flexible with dates/times. If you need someone to baby sit / nanny she is the one to go to, always reliable ❤️”

Booked by 1 family in Needham, MA

I am Zindzy Zynane, a 21-year-old Brazilian nanny with over 8 years of experience in childcare, especially with babies and newborns with strong references. I have strong experience with sleep routines, feeding (including bottle-feeding and handling breast milk), diaper changing, and activities that support children’s development. Throughout my experience, I have worked with different families, caring for children of various ages — from young babies to pre-teens. My responsibilities have included school drop-off and pick-up, preparing meals and snacks, helping with homework, organizing recreational activities, outings, and educational play, as well as handling household tasks related to the children. I also have experience as a live-in nanny, caring for more than one child at the same time, including children with special needs. I am certified in CPR and First Aid, and I have completed infant care training. English is my second language, and I have an advanced level, with additional knowledge of English grammar. I am organized, responsible, patient, communicative, creative, and trustworthy. I enjoy cooking, I am active, I value healthy habits, and I love animals.

"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."
