I love kids and animals- am an RN and only work 3 days a week - would love to use some of my free time helping others. I love doing arts and crafts, playing games, and chatting. I have experience caring for all ages. I have a special fondness for grumpy old men!

Carla Mattapan
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Carla, and I offer child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old and have worked as a nanny for over five years. I have experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and older children (ages 0-13). My responsibilities have included driving children to and from school, organizing crafts, providing tutoring, preparing meals and snacks, and managing bedtime routines. I have worked with families in my community and the greater Boston area, helping to strengthen their connections. In addition to child care, I also work as a household assistant. I can cook, clean, and run errands. I have cared for my grandparents, so I am comfortable with senior care. I can prepare meals, drive to appointments, and assist with other tasks as needed. I love animals! I am comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all sizes. I have experience with dog walking and assisting with physical rehabilitation for pets. Through my years of experience with different family situations, I have learned that patience is key. Staying calm, actively listening, and being compassionate are essential qualities in my work.

Hello! My name is Megan and I have a PhD in Child Clinical Psychology. I am new to the Boston area and would love to connect with a few families for date night / weekend babysitting. I have 15+ years experience babysitting kids 6 months and older. I'm a positive, reliable, and flexible person. I've fostered many incredible relationships with families over the years and would love the chance to meet yours!

Megan was super sweet. She easily accommodated our needs since we were in a hotel room for a wedding! Kiddo was safe and happy!

Booked by 8 families in Holbrook, MA

Hi families! My name is Astrid. I began my childcare journey at just 19 years old. I helped out as an assistant teacher in my mother Montessori daycare for 5 years. I then went on to be a career nanny with a 4 year gap starting in 2020 due to the pandemic. In my years of being a nanny, I have taken several college courses in child psychology and development. My approach to child care is heavily influenced by the Montessori philosophy, letting the child’s mind guide me into caring for them. I have extensive experience with children from 3 months old to 6 years old. I am passionate about what I do and would love an opportunity to prove it to you.

Astrid was great with my son. He was comfortable with her right away. She took him to the park and got him to bed without a problem.

Booked by 3 families in Holbrook, MA

I have several years of experience providing reliable babysitting, cat sitting, and house sitting services. My passion for working with children led me to spend this past summer at a daycare clinic, where I gained valuable experience caring for children with autism. This opportunity deepened my understanding of children’s unique needs and reinforced my commitment to fostering a safe, nurturing environment for them. I will always do everything in my power to ensure both children and parents feel comfortable and confident in my care.

Molly is great! She is reliable and professional. My two children are very different - one is outgoing and extroverted and the other is cautious and slow to engage. Molly intuitively understood what each of them needed and helped them both get comfortable with her. My kids have already asked me when she is coming over again.
