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 am an Early Childhood Education student and a toddler teacher with hands on classroom experience working with young children. I am patient, responsible, and caring, and I love helping children learn through play, creativity, and routine. I have experience supporting children’s social and emotional development, preparing simple activities, and creating a safe and positive environment. Families can trust that I will treat their children with kindness, attention, and respect while keeping them engaged and safe.

Hi, my name is Rashema and I’m currently working in healthcare in a patient care setting. I am offering childcare, and household services. I love working with children and have been working with them (infants, toddlers and teenagers) since I was 14 years old, in both professional and personal settings. My responsibilities have included at home babysitting, helping with homework, etc. I’ve worked at a daycare, briefly worked as an Registered Behavioral Technician where I worked 1 on 1 with a child with autism, and I have worked in patient with teenage girls who struggle with eating disorders. I am not allergic to any pets so I am open and able to work with families with pets! (I had 2 pairs of birds as pets when I was younger).
Hi! I’m Chloé and I am an engineering student at Northeastern University. I have around 9 years of paid experience babysitting of ages 3 months to 15 years old, and have taken care of up to five kids at once. Outside of babysitting, I have worked as a coach, camp counselor, Head Youth Coach, and Youth Programs Director, so I have a lot of experience in finding fun things for kids to do! I am First Aid/CPR/AED certified for infants, children, and adults. I love cooking, so if you need some help with meal prepping, I would love to bring some creative recipes to your household! I also am a native French speaker and have a B2 level in Spanish, so I thrive in multilingual households. I’m happy to help with homework, cleaning up around the house, laundry, and more! Thanks for reading! Reach out if I seem like a good fit for your family.
Hi! I'm Caitlin, a recent Wellesley College graduate with a B.A. in Psychology and over three years of professional childcare experience. I worked at Wellesley Community Children's Center as both a Teaching Assistant and EEC-Certified Infant/Toddler and Preschool Teacher, caring for children ages 0–6. Outside of work, I frequently babysat my students. I also spent a summer as a YMCA camp counselor, working with children ages 4–13. I am currently pursuing a career in child development research that has included an internship at Mass General's pediatric neuropsychology clinic and my present position as a research assistant on a Harvard study examining early education programs. My background in psychology and child development has given me a strong understanding of children's developmental needs, and I love finding creative ways to make everyday activities fun, engaging, and educational. I'm patient, nurturing, responsible, and attentive, and I especially enjoy getting to know each child's unique personality and interests. Whether we're reading, doing arts and crafts, exploring outside, playing games, or working through a tricky moment, I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where children feel comfortable and encouraged to be themselves. I'm also very familiar with communicating with parents about children's routines, behavior, and daily activities. I hold adult and pediatric CPR/AED/First Aid certifications and have experience with classroom organization, cleaning, lesson and activity planning, early literacy, and maintaining children's supplies. I'm happy to help with light household tasks related to childcare as well. In addition, I am experienced with caring for dogs and cats. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide thoughtful, dependable care!

"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."
