Noelle Brighton
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Noelle, and I’m a recent graduate from Stanford University with a degree in Industrial Engineering and a minor in Spanish. I currently work full-time as a financial analyst, but I’m also looking for part-time babysitting opportunities. I’ve always enjoyed caring for kids and have experience babysitting for family, friends, and during high school, where I was responsible for tutoring and transporting a 10-year-old girl from school to her extracurricular activities. Families often describe me as responsible, dependable, and attentive. I also take safety seriously and plan to complete my CPR certification through my employer soon, which I’ll bring into my babysitting work as well. Whether it is helping with homework, preparing snacks, keeping little ones entertained, or caring for babies including feeding and diaper changes, I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and positive environment for every child I watch. I also love animals, especially cats and dogs, and I am happy to look after them too. In addition, I can help out around the house to make things a little easier for busy parents. I look forward to babysitting for your family soon :)

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Medford, MA

Hi! I'm Annabelle. I'm a pre-medical undergraduate student at Boston College. I have worked with children for the past six years. I've been babysitting and working at a summer camp since I was 13. I absolutely love kids. I am CPR certified in both adult and pediatrics. My availability is pretty open and I am available for any last minute jobs. I am also able to help with tasks outside of just babysitting such as tutoring, cleaning, etc. I love pets and don't mind taking care of them too if necessary. I do not have a car with me on campus but I do have a license and don't mind running errands if necessary. Please reach out with any opportunities!

Oluwafunmbi Boston
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Funmbi 😊 I’m a graduate student at Boston University School of Medicine, and I’ve always naturally been someone who takes care of others. I’m the oldest of five siblings, so a lot of my experience started at home-helping out, staying organized, and being someone my siblings could rely on. I’ve also worked with kids of all ages through my church’s children’s and youth ministry, so I’m comfortable stepping in whether it’s playtime, helping with homework, or keeping a routine going. I also volunteer in my community and plan to attend medical school, so being dependable and attentive really matters to me. I’d describe myself as calm, patient, and easy to be around. I try to meet kids where they are, whether they’re energetic, shy, or just need someone to listen. I also worked as a Patient Care Assistant, which helped me become even more attentive, responsible, and aware when it comes to safety and making sure people feel comfortable and supported. I also love animals (especially dogs) so I’m more than happy to be around pets too. I’m happy to help with homework, meals, bedtime routines, or just keeping kids engaged with fun activities (and yes, I’m definitely the type to build forts or play games with them 😊). Overall, I just aim to create a space where kids feel comfortable and cared for, and where parents feel at ease knowing everything is in good hands.

Allison Boston
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Allison, a junior at Simmons University studying sociology, public health, and communications. I am looking for a number of caregiving roles in childcare, pet care, and household care. I have experience in a number of care giving settings including as a summer camp counselor to kids (ages 4-9), babysitting for family friends (ages 5-12), cat/dog sitting for family and friends, as well as house sitting and cleaning for family and friends. I am a very organized, detail oriented, and dependable person in my work, school, and personal life. In my experience as a summer camp counselor I helped to manage and engage groups of up to 50 children in crowded public places such as amusement parks, ensured children’s safety while having fun in a variety of environments including swimming holes, and adapted activities to help suit children with different individual needs.

Sakile Boston
$35 per hour for 1 child

Good Day Families! I am Sakile (Sah-Key-Lay), and I’m passionate about nurturing children’s growth and development. With over 15 years of experience in early childhood education, I’ve had the joy of supporting children and families across the globe. Whether you need help with routines, tutoring for early elementary learners, or light household support like cooking and cleaning, I bring patience, creativity, and care to every part of the day. I’m also a certified yoga teacher and love introducing children to movement and mindfulness through fun, age-appropriate yoga practices. Music, dance, ready, and crafts are a big part of how I connect with little ones, helping them learn and express themselves in joyful, meaningful ways. I’d love to be a trusted part of your child’s journey and your family’s support system!
