$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 10 families in Wakefield, MA

I've always had a passion for nurturing the growth and development of children. With eight years of childcare experience, I've had the privilege of supporting families and providing a reliable childcare option for them. My patient, calm, and friendly nature allows me to connect with children of all ages. I ensure open lines of communication with parents, either verbally at pick-up or through their preferred method, to discuss their child's day or any concerns. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules while fostering a positive and nurturing environment. My favorite moments are spent engaging children in outdoor sports, playing educational games, or having fun with board games and puzzles. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children, ranging from infants to preteens, and am available to provide care during the day, evenings, and weekends. I have a car and am comfortable with pets.

Dalya 2 reviews
$26 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Wakefield, MA

Hi everyone! My name is Dalya. I’m a part-time nursing student, licensed EMT, and BLS/CPR-certified caregiver with over three years of childcare experience, including caring for infants and young children. My emergency medical training has prepared me to recognize when something is wrong and respond appropriately in situations such as choking, allergic reactions, falls, or other injuries children are susceptible to. Beyond safety, I’m patient, nurturing, reliable, and genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections with children. I’m comfortable managing feeding, naps, playtime, bedtime routines, meal preparation, and homework. I also have experience tutoring and mentoring students with academics, organization, and college readiness. I enjoy creating activities that are both fun and developmentally appropriate while respecting each family’s routines and parenting preferences. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, organization, and pet care when needed.

“Dalya worked for our family for over a year and was great with my kids. She helped with meals, school work, activities, bath time and daily routines. One of my children has a disability and takes medication Dalya always followed the instructions carefully and made sure it was given on time. She is very patient dependable and the kids really trust her. She is also an EMT which gave us a lot of peace of mind especially with our youngest. I would highly recommend her to any family.”

"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."
