Melinfa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi My name is Melinda, What I like most about childcare is being able to make a positive impact on a child’s day. I enjoy seeing their personalities shine as they grow and learn. It’s rewarding to know I can provide comfort, encouragement, and structure while also creating fun, memorable moments.” I’m comfortable with pets and in my past nannying jobs I’ve done food prep, light household chores and picking up And dropping off children. On a few occasions I’ve stayed with the kids as well at there activities which o love doing. I miss the days of my daughter playing sports and dance sessions. Looking forward to creating new experiences.

Sophia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m looking for a family in need of occasional childcare this school year. A little bit about me: After high school, I initially pursued a degree in elementary education. For three years, I worked full-time as a nanny for a family in Newton. I later shifted my focus to animal studies and am now a veterinary technician, but I still have nearly ten years of experience caring for children, including over three years as a lifeguard. I also have reliable transportation and would be happy to provide references.

Sophia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sophia, I’m 22 years old, and currently attending UMass Boston. I’m a caring, patient, and reliable caregiver with hands-on experience in both childcare and dog care. I create a safe, nurturing, and well-organized environment, and I genuinely enjoy supporting children as they learn, play, and grow. I’ve gained valuable experience over the past few years, often assisting my mother in her work as a caregiver. In addition to childcare, I have a deep love for animals, especially dogs, and have several years of experience in dog sitting. I take pride in being attentive, responsible, and compassionate in every role I take on. I have many references I’m able to share with you as well! I’m also new to this app, I usually use care.com! But wanted to give this a try!

Availability: looking for primarily evenings/date nights Hello Parents! My name is Courtney and I'm currently an ICU nurse. I have been working as a nanny off Urbansitter for about 8 years and absolutely I love it! I think my favorite part about being a nanny so far has been being a positive role model for young kids. Currently I am working on finishing nursing school and currently I have my EMT license and am BLS certified. Most recently I worked as an EMT at a summer camp these past two summers. By having many different types of childcare jobs I have had the opportunity to work with all age groups from 4 weeks- 16 years old. I am excited to meet more families in the area and if you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out! Frequently Asked Questions: What do I expect from parents? Good communication and being honest with me. This allows me to do the best job possible taking care of your little one :) Are you CPR certified? Yes! Since August 2021. I also have had my EMT license and BLS certification since March 2022 as well as my ACLS and PALS certifications Are you vaccinated? Yes! I am up to date on all my vaccines including COVID (including first, second, and booster) Will you wear a mask around me and my family? Yes, I can! Just let me know if you would like that What if I come home early? Will I still be charged for the full time? Yes, due to me setting time aside in my schedule for an agreed upon amount of hours I do expect full payment. Please let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you :)
