Amaya $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, I’m Amaya! I’d like to describe myself as a patient and nurturing sitter. Children brighten up my day and i’d like to say I brighten up theirs as well. I’m still building my professional babysitting experience, however I’ve cared for children ages 4–7 on occasion (really enjoyed it) and have spent most of my life helping look after my younger sister (she’s two years younger than me, so I’ve mastered how to be attentive, dependable, and approach situations with a firm but gentle approach children of all ages) I may not have years of experience yet, but what I do have is patience, emotional awareness, and a natural ability to connect with kids and make them feel I love creating a calm, positive environment where children feel safe, heard, and comfortable being themselves. I am also extremely big on encouraging independence through younger children when it comes to problem solving, making appropriate decisions, and communication. A few things about me: - I prioritize safe, age-appropriate activities like: board games, dancing, walking, playground trips (I— as a 20 yr/old, thoroughly enjoy playing on the swings myself :), and makeup if you’ve got a doll you’d like to have in my care 🩷 - I’m CPR certified. - I’m a 3rd year undergraduate student. - I understand the importance of structure and consistency. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your child. I take that responsibility very seriously and would care for your child the same way I’d want someone to care for mine. I’m excited to grow as a sitter and build long-term relationships with families who value communication, safety, and energy. Thank you for considering me as a sitter and i’d be more than willing to be accepted into your family as a sitter!

Caron $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My journey in childcare began in high school when I helped at my aunt’s daycare, and I’ve been dedicated to working with children ever since. For 7 years, I worked with the YMCA as both a counselor and Assistant Director, supporting children ages 5–12 in after school and summer camp programs. I also gained hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers in the YMCA daycare. I now serve as a substitute teacher with Boston Public Schools while completing my BA in Early Education & Care in Inclusive Settings. This role has strengthened my ability to adapt to different classrooms, support diverse learners, and build meaningful connections with children of all ages. As a mom myself, I understand the importance of finding someone you can truly trust with your little ones. Families describe me as fun, empathetic, and creative. I love making learning and play engaging, and I take pride in ensuring every child feels safe, supported, and valued. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with you to meet your family’s needs.

Katalina $31 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have been professionally nannying children for fourteen years, varying from infants to preteens and would love to get to know your kiddo(s)! I have experience with nanny shares (two toddlers), and have had multiple positions caring for 2 kids at the same time. I also have experience with house managing, meal prep, driving kids, bottle prep, diaper changing, and putting down for naps/bed. I also have experience being out and about with kiddos, as well as socializing with other parents/nannies and their children. I’m very adaptive to constantly changing circumstances and pride myself with being able to roll with the punches :) I also have experience helping children develop skills to manage their own emotions, and teaching them developmentally appropriate social skills. I’m very warm and patient with children, especially during meltdowns. I also have experience helping navigate conflict resolution. I am the best fit for a family who values children learning emotional skills over learning manners. I know manners are extremely important to many families, but I prefer to let a child have big feelings, help them through those feelings and develop age appropriate skills to help them the next time it happens. I will absolutely help kiddos learn manners ("please" and "thank yous") but only when the kiddo seems in the right head space to absorb such info. For example, if a kiddo is having a bad day and yells at me that I'm stupid, I am more likely to respond by asking, "is that how you feel about me right now?" than asking for an apology. Then after they've calmed down, I would say something like, "I know you were frustrated with me earlier, and that is absolutely okay. But let's come up with a different thing you can say to me instead of telling me I'm stupid." That way it's a process the kiddo and I are involved in together, and they feel like they have some control within a structured and boundaried relationship. If a baby is having a meltdown, I’m the kind of caregiver who will soothe them through it and validate their feelings, instead of trying to make the meltdown stop. I’m an avid reader (and a published author with HarperCollins!), and my hobbies include baking, knitting, sewing, yoga, meditation, singing, and doing theatre :) I am CPR and Choke Prevention certified. AND I LOVE PETS :D

"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."
