At the moment I am a full time nanny of a happy toddler (I started with them when she was 5 months) I am looking for occasional/weekends/evening jobs.

Hi! My name is Katie, I’m a 32-year-old professional nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age kids. I’m skilled in managing multiples, nanny shares, and children with behavioral, emotional regulation, or executive functioning challenges. My approach emphasizes connection, autonomy, and play-based learning, and I love tailoring activities to each child’s interests, whether that’s singing, dancing, crafting clay figurines, or exploring fun activities around Boston, Cambridge, and the North Shore. I have done many different kinds of jobs including: long-term (3+ years) short-term, overnight, vacations, and date nights! I hold a Child & Youth Advocacy certificate and Associates in Liberal Arts Psychology from NSCC. I am also currently pursuing my Social Work degree at Salem State University. In addition, I volunteer with the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless and CASA, bringing a strong commitment to supporting children and families both professionally and in the community. Some of my specific strengths include: • Redirection and emotional coaching • Supporting intuitive eating • Managing ADHD and sensory needs • Creating practical systems that support families long-term Thanks Katie
“Katie is our current nanny to our 2.5-year-old twin girls, and she has been a wonderful addition to our family. One of the things we appreciate most about Katie is her knowledge of child development. She is always coming up with fun, age-appropriate activities that help our girls learn and grow while keeping them engaged and excited. She is also incredibly in tune with children's emotions and does a great job helping our daughters work through big feelings with patience, empathy, and understanding. Katie is dependable, caring, and genuinely invested in our girls' well-being and development. We feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to any family.”

Hello, my name is Monica I love children, I have experience with infants, toddlers, kindergarten, primary and special education, I love children of all ages and I like to do activities with them like reading, painting,craft, play game, help with homework and teach .
“Monica currently babysits my 8mo daughter 5 days a week while I am at work. When she initially arrived for the in-person interview, I could tell she had not only great experience with kids but is also very empathetic and safety-conscious, which are two very important traits I believe for a person taking care of an infant. She lets me know if she has any concerns and updates me about anything “new” in regards to my daughter . She is also very punctual and dependable; she is very interactive, engaging my daughter with toys, books, music, and conversation. I feel confident when I leave the house in the morning, knowing my daughter is in caring in capable hands. I am so grateful to have found her on Urban Sitters !”
I have taken care of my younger family members between the ages of newborn and 5 years old. I also have a loving puppy at home that I take care of, if an animal also needs to be catered to. I love spending time with kids and playing around! On top of all the fun with kids and animals, I love to clean. I manage to keep my home and my apartment for college maintained and clean. I am looking forward to spending time with kids to continue my love for caretaking. I also volunteer/help teach at a public school. I help in a 1st grade classroom, so if your kid may need help with, I am also open to helping with.
“Danyka took amazing care of our 14 month old twin boys! She was great at following their schedule, guiding them through lunch time, playing with their toys, and taking them for walks. She was always very diligent in keeping watch and making sure they were safe, following hungry and sleepy cues, and I would have her watch them again anytime. ”

"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"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."
Heather B., mom of two
