Makaya $21 per hour for 1 child

I have experience caring for both seniors and children, from 60-year-olds to infants as young as 2 months. As the oldest of six, I’m patient, reliable, and nurturing. I’ve worked in a daycare, been a nanny for two years, and I’m comfortable helping with routines, meals, light housekeeping, and keeping both kids and older adults safe, comfortable, and supported.

medjina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Medjina. I’m a sophomore at Boston College studying Psychology and Human Development, and caring for others has always been something that comes naturally to me. I have experience in both childcare and healthcare. I currently work as a clinical assistant at Dana Farber, and before that I worked at Newton Wellesley Hospital. Those roles have taught me how to be responsible, patient, calm, and attentive, especially in busy or high stress situations. I am used to following routines, prioritizing safety, and communicating clearly with families. I also have a lot of experience working with children. I come from a big family and have spent many years babysitting younger cousins, including toddlers. I’ve always enjoyed being around kids and helping them feel comfortable and supported. I also volunteered as a camp counselor at a local YMCA, where I helped with daily routines, activities, meals, and supervision. That experience helped me learn how to keep kids engaged while also making sure they feel safe and cared for. What I love most about caregiving is building trust and being someone families can rely on. I enjoy creating a calm, positive environment where kids feel secure and parents feel at ease. I’m dependable, organized, and happy to help however I can. I’m comfortable with cooking, cleaning, organizing, household chores, and pet care, and I enjoy helping families keep things running smoothly. I would love the opportunity to support your family and be a sitter you can trust.

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 ❤️”

"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."
