Kit $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Kit, a proud mom of two wonderful sons, and I'm passionate about providing reliable, caring support for families in Needham and surrounding areas. I offer flexible child care, senior care, and household services. I especially love working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age kids—they're such amazing little people full of energy and curiosity! With my own experience raising children, I'm comfortable handling everything from gentle newborn routines to fun, engaging activities with older kids. I can drive to/from school or activities, help with after-school homework or tutoring, lead creative crafts, troubleshoot tech issues (like devices or software), and even offer beginner Chinese lessons to spark interest in language and culture. As a household assistant, I'm happy to cook nutritious meals, keep things tidy with light cleaning, run errands, or organize as needed. I've also been a dedicated caregiver for my own mother, so I'm experienced and compassionate with senior care—whether it's preparing meals, providing companionship, driving to appointments, or assisting with daily tasks. I'm comfortable in homes with dogs, cats, or other common pets (no snakes, please!). I'm reliable, patient, and love building trusting relationships with families. I'd be thrilled to help make your life easier—feel free to message me with any questions about availability or how I can support your family!

Julissa $28 per hour for 1 child

I was raised with significant caregiving responsibilities from a young age, which shaped my patience, resilience, and sense of responsibility. I naturally stepped into a caregiver role for my younger siblings, supporting their daily routines, school needs, and emotional well-being during a challenging family period. These experiences taught me empathy, structure, and how to remain calm and reliable in any situation. As a caregiver, I bring strong organization, warmth, and attentiveness. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and structured environment where children feel supported and encouraged. I am dependable, adaptable, and genuinely committed to helping children thrive while supporting families in their daily routines.

"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."
