Cha $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello Parents and Future Families, My name is Cha, and I am a 28-year-old Hmong American woman. Growing up as the "second mom" to six sisters and one brother taught me the value of patience, responsibility, and caring for others from a young age. Being a big sister has always been one of my greatest joys, and I bring that same nurturing energy to every child I work with. I am passionate about supporting children as they learn, grow, and discover the world around them. Throughout my career, I have worked in caregiving and service-oriented roles that have strengthened my compassion, adaptability, and communication skills. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and kindergarten-aged children through my work at Miniapple International Montessori School. In addition, I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant for three years before moving to Massachusetts. These experiences have taught me the importance of providing safe, attentive, and high-quality care while helping individuals feel supported, comfortable, and valued. As an UrbanSitter caregiver, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a positive environment where children can thrive. I believe strong relationships between caregivers, parents, and children are built through open communication, consistency, and genuine connection. A few fun facts about me: I play guitar, enjoy singing, love reading, and am passionate about helping children explore their emotions and stay curious about the world around them. I enjoy meeting new people and creating meaningful connections with the families I serve. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and care for your children. Warmly, Cha Lor

Gabrielle $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Gabrielle but I prefer being called Gabby. and I’m currently a 3rd year at Guttman Community College. I am looking forward to working with children in child care. I love babysitting because it rewards fun ways to spend time with children and build a positive relationship and see them learn and grow. I also enjoy experiencing the world through a child’s curiosity that allows me to interact and socialize who they are. My experience in babysitting are meal/snacks preparation, assisting homework and activities, diaper changing/bathing, ensuring a safe environment for children and definitely communicating with their parent/guardian about the child’s progress how they are doing. I have worked in childcare for about 3+ years at a afterschool program for quite some time when was about 14-15 years old since 2018 is when I first started working with children in different schools but outside of that I have taken care of my 6 siblings throughout my childhood. I am willing to work with families who have pets!

"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."
