Hi! I’m Allison, a junior at Simmons University studying sociology, public health, and communications. I am looking for a number of caregiving roles in childcare, pet care, and household care. I have experience in a number of care giving settings including as a summer camp counselor to kids (ages 4-9), babysitting for family friends (ages 5-12), cat/dog sitting for family and friends, as well as house sitting and cleaning for family and friends. I am a very organized, detail oriented, and dependable person in my work, school, and personal life. In my experience as a summer camp counselor I helped to manage and engage groups of up to 50 children in crowded public places such as amusement parks, ensured children’s safety while having fun in a variety of environments including swimming holes, and adapted activities to help suit children with different individual needs.
Good Day Families! I am Sakile (Sah-Key-Lay), and I’m passionate about nurturing children’s growth and development. With over 15 years of experience in early childhood education, I’ve had the joy of supporting children and families across the globe. Whether you need help with routines, tutoring for early elementary learners, or light household support like cooking and cleaning, I bring patience, creativity, and care to every part of the day. I’m also a certified yoga teacher and love introducing children to movement and mindfulness through fun, age-appropriate yoga practices. Music, dance, ready, and crafts are a big part of how I connect with little ones, helping them learn and express themselves in joyful, meaningful ways. I’d love to be a trusted part of your child’s journey and your family’s support system!
Hi there! My name is Abbie , and I’m a college student living in Boston, Massachusetts, in the Beacon Hill neighborhood. I’m currently a junior at Suffolk University, studying Criminal Justice and Law. One of my lifelong passions has always been helping others and caring for the people around me. I’m originally from Portland, Maine, where I spent years babysitting for several families all throughout school. I absolutely love spending time with kids; playing, learning, and helping them grow. Most of my experience is with children ages 0–4, but I’m comfortable and happy to work with kids of any age. I typically babysit 2–3 children at a time, mostly in the afternoons and evenings. I’d describe myself as kind, lighthearted, responsible, and a little silly. I love bringing fun and laughter into any situation! My babysitting experience has taught me how to stay calm and confident when handling meltdowns or stressful moments, and I truly see caring for children as a privilege. In addition to childcare, I also have experience dog- and cat-sitting, both during the day and overnight. I’m looking forward to connecting with families who could use an extra helping hand.
“Our 4 year old son keeps requesting Abbie. She's been absolutely wonderful with him and we're having her take care of him multiple times per week. Highly recommend!”
