Rouya $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Rouya, a 20-year-old Early Childhood Education major at North Shore Community College. I’ve always loved being around kids, which is why I chose a career where I can help them learn, grow, and have fun. My first job was at the Lynn YMCA, where I worked closely with children in a safe, active, and positive environment. It taught me how to be patient, responsible, and adapt to every child’s unique personality. I’m outgoing, energetic, and a big people person, so building connections comes naturally to me. Whether we’re playing games, doing arts and crafts, reading stories, cooking, or just using our imagination, I love keeping kids engaged while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m also a fast learner, dependable, and always happy to help with homework, meals, light housekeeping, or whatever your family needs. My goal is to be more than just a babysitterI want to be someone your children look forward to seeing and someone you can trust and feel confident leaving them with. I understand how important it is to find the right person to care for your little ones, and I would love the opportunity to be that person for your family.

Sarah $33 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been a nanny for the past twelve years, with experience ranging from infant to early elementary school aged. I just wrapped up my most recent job as the family’s needs are changing and now I’m looking for work while I figure out what’s next for me. I love keeping kids active and engaged, with plenty of outdoor time as the weather permits. I don’t drive, so I can only take jobs that are MBTA accessible; I’m also experienced and comfortable with taking kids on the t/bus if necessary. Currently, my availability open and pretty flexible, I’m open to one off gigs, temporary jobs, or longer term (1-2 years).

Rosa $25 per hour for 1 child

I bring over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience, having babysat for multiple families and cared for children of various ages. Currently, I work as a substitute teacher for preschool and elementary school in Beacon Hill, which has strengthened my ability to manage groups, support early learning, and respond calmly to different needs and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, with a strong focus on creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment. In addition to childcare, I have experience pet-sitting both dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable in households with animals and happy to help care for them as well. I’m also willing to assist with light household tasks to keep things running smoothly. My goal is to support families by being dependable, caring, and proactive, while ensuring children feel secure, happy, and encouraged to learn 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."
