Hi, I'm Rachel! I’m a calm, caring, and dependable person who genuinely loves caring for children and finds being of service deeply rewarding. I was also a full-time nanny for a 1-year-old earlier in life and have helped care for my two nephews, now 12 and 15, throughout their lives. As an artist and writer, I love encouraging creativity and imagination through art, games, stories, music, dancing, and outdoor play. I’m warm and playful while providing healthy boundaries, and prefer active engagement over screens. I’m hoping to find a family I can support consistently and grow with long-term. I’m also happy to help with cooking, errands, light cleaning, laundry, and organizing—and I love animals!
Hi!! I’m Emma, and I am a graduate pharmacy student with a B.S. in Biology and have around 3-4 years of hands-on experience caring for children! I’ve worked as a summer camp counselor for two summers(4-6 year olds), babysitter (children under the age of 10), and surgical dental assistant, so I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and genuinely love helping others. As a former resident assistant in a university dorm, I’ve managed emergencies, created community events, and supported students emotionally and academically. I also hold CPR certification, a pharmacy intern license, and have experience in household support—whether it’s helping with homework, doing laundry, or maintaining a clean and organized environment.
As an older sibling of three, I have been taking care of little ones since I can remember. I babysat neighbors and family friends since I was 14, and have worked with children of all ages in school-based settings throughout high school and college. I grew up with dogs and cats and am familiar and comfortable taking care of furry friends as well. Currently, I am a Master's of Social Work student at Simmons University and work at a group home with teenagers. I am very comfortable around kids of all ages and can be kind, playful, and compassionate while reinforcing expectations. I have experience working with youth with complicated mental health diagnoses and complex needs, as well as neurodivergent kiddos. I am also extremely clean, able to take care of house plants, and love to cook! In my free time, I enjoy knitting, crocheting, and crafting, and I enjoy being creative with the little ones I watch. I also love being outside and active! :)
Hi! My name is Vivian and I am currently 18 years old as a senior in highschool at Beaver Country Day in Brookline. I have been working with children for many years now. Starting at the age of 11, I became a mothers helper for some of my neighbors. Along side my babysitting jobs, I have had lots of professional experience with children as well. When I turned `13, I became a Conselor in Training at Beaver Summer Camp and for every summer since, I have been a Camp Counselor for campers ages 3-6. Futhermore, when I was 14-16, I volenteered everyday at the Pine Manor Child Study Center as an assistant teacher. This past winter, I also worked as an assistant teacher with children ages 6-9 at the Boston Community Center for Youth and Families. Please feel free to reach out!!
I am a tutor who thrives on helping k-8 students work more successfully in reading and writing. Special Education and literacy are my background with a solid foundation in The Science of Reading and Guided Reading, remedial reading and writing. I have 20 years of experience and a very nurturing manner. I prepare 3/4 year old with readiness skills for school also. I have several parent and teacher references. My skills include working with beginning, intermediate and advanced learners, mostly special needs learners, mild to moderate and English language learners in reading and writing. I also do childcare with ages three to ten. We work on creative play, storytelling, books, language, behaviors, sports, exercise and more, whatever your child's interests are is okay with me. My fees range according to service providing and number of students/children. I work mostly afternoons and evenings for the school year according to my primary position. I like to work all summer days too. I like to be flexible for you.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
