I am 26 years old and am living in Cambridge. I have always helped out my mom take care of my younger brother (8 years old) since he was a baby. I babysit regularly for 5 different families ages ranging from (1-8 years old old) and have taken care of more than 1 child at a time.

Currently looking for a part time/full time job to help save up for school. I cannot drive but am comfortable using public transportation.

“She was clear in communication and engaged well with my 3-year old, meeting him at his interests and getting him off the couch and playing even though he was sick. She was a great sitter!”

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.

Jhanna $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Jhanna and I am 19 years old with 4–5 years of experience caring for children between the ages of 1 and 12. I genuinely love working with kids and take pride in helping make parents’ lives a little easier by providing safe, reliable, and nurturing care. I have a very social and caring personality, and I always do my best to meet everyone’s expectations. I enjoy getting to know each child individually and learning their unique personalities and sweet sides. I consider myself to have a naturally motherly nature and truly love creating fun, engaging activities that keep children happy and stimulated. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, and going to the gym, which helps me stay active and positive. While I do not currently hold certifications, I bring patience, responsibility, and a genuine passion for caring for children into everything I do.

"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."
