Find a babysitter in Newton Center, MA

Hi my name is Ashley, I am a 1st Dental Student living in Boston. I am offering childcare and pet sitting services. I have been CPR certified for over 5 years. I love babysitting! I have been caring for children since I was 8 years old. I enjoy playing games, tutoring and keeping kids busy. I am open to pet sitting small - medium sized dogs as I have been a dog mom for the past 10+ years.

Hello! My name is Susannah and I work as a Child and Adolescent Therapist in the greater Boston community. I have been working with children in various capacities since I was 13 years-old and being with kids is truly my greatest joy and passion. Childcare history: Over the last 15-20 years, I have worked with kids through running a daycare center, working as a camp counselor, working in afterschool programs, nannying and babysitting for families, and now each day in my professional work! I am kind, creative, playful and silly, while also understanding the need for firmness and boundaries when the moment calls to keep things running smoothly and safely for all! I am the caregiver who is more likely to take your child(ren) to the park or to a local museum than plop them in front of the TV. I am thoughtful to engage the kids that I work with in activities that will stimulate them and help them work toward developmental milestones appropriate for their age . You can often find me hanging with a kiddo reading a book, playing music, or going for a scavenger hunt around the community to count all the colors we can find. Pet care: Aside from children, pets are my greatest love. 4 years ago I adopted a dog and understand how important it is to find someone to care for your animal like they are your own while you are away from them. Happy to be the sitter who plays fetch in the backyard or local park, or simply curls up on the couch for some snuggles! As a Mom to a reactive/anxious pup, I am comfortable working with animals who may have some "quirks" to their behavior. Further, I have experience with medication administration for cats and dogs.

Hi there! My name is Jonny and I am an undergraduate student at Boston University studying psychology with interests in mental health research and child psychology. I live on campus in a beautiful brownstone apartment and I spend most of my time studying or with friends. I am offering child, senior, pet, and house care services. I have experience working with inner-city Boston kids (ages 8-12) at the Hale Outdoor Learning Adventures camp, where I learned how to connect with kids with all different kinds of temperaments and personalities. My responsibilities there ranged from helping kids with arts and crafts to conflict resolution when kids were having tough days with one another. I enjoy doing any activities that seem to best engage the kids, whether it be playing games, reading with them, or singing along to songs. I have also been a peer tutor at the high school and university levels, with competency across maths, sciences, english, and social sciences, with some basic french and spanish language skills. I have cooking and cleaning skills and spent time taking care of my grandparents in England. I come from a cat family, but I love all animals and pets!

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.

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!
