Hello I’m Scarlen! I am a Licensed Nursing Assistant at Massachusetts General Hospital and have six years of experience working with children from 7 months to 14 years old. I am fluent in Spanish and passionate about providing safe, attentive, and nurturing care while building positive connections with children and families. I am certified in Basic Life Support (BLS) and CPR, allowing me to respond quickly and responsibly in emergency situations. I bring patience, creativity, and structure to every environment, helping children feel both supported and engaged with. Outside of work and school, I enjoy traveling, nature, and spending time with my younger siblings. I would be happy to get to know you and your family better and provide support in any way you may need.
“Our two little boys loved Scarlen! She was prompt and communicative, very positive and kind with the boys, and she was playful while in control. They took to her instantly and got to bed without issue. She’s a wonderful sitter!”
I am starting grad school in the fall and looking for part time babysitting jobs. I have experience babysitting babies, toddlers, and kids from ages 3-10. I enjoy art, hiking, reading, and playing piano.
I'm a current master's student studying medical sciences with plans to attend medical school next year. I've always loved working with kids and have several years of experience caring for and engaging with children of all ages. I've led youth ministry at my church, working with toddlers through preteens. This included creating fun and meaningful lessons, supervising during services, and supporting families. My relationships with families in the church have also led to trusted babysitting opportunities. Outside of church, I've volunteered with the Boys and Girls Club, primarily supporting elementary-aged children with science-related activities and after-school care. I come from a large extended family and as the eldest, l've naturally taken on the role of caregiver by providing safe, fun, and nurturing environments for younger family members. I'm known for being patient, dependable, and easy to talk to, and I genuinely enjoy building strong, positive connections with kids and their families.
“Very nice and professional. Arrived on time. Would definitely book her again.”
Hello, my name is Khaoula and I'm a current psychology student with an interest in pursuing pediatric medicine. I have worked with children for a while now especially during my high school years as I was a regular sitter for a couple of families in my town. The experience has made me fond of the relationship you can build with children, given how they need a reliable connection and mentorship. I love arts and crafts so that's my go-to when entertaining the little ones, my 5-year-old brother included. I am fluent in English, Arabic, and French, I also hold the CPR and first aid certification. If you feel that I may be a good fit for you and your family please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I look forward to speaking and working with you and your children, after all it does take a village.
“Was available last min and showed up happy and played with my daughter till bed time. I would definitely book with her again.”
