Andrea 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child
$28 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I am an experienced, multilingual and licensed educator, with over 20 years of experience. I offer childcare, tutoring, pet and elderly care. I excel at working with neurodiverse individuals, children and teens.
“Andrea has always been wonderful with my girls (ages 3 and 5). She brings the very best of herself, as both a mom and an educator, to the time she spends with them, always doing arts and crafts, science experiments, and reading books. She is warm, loving, and also able to navigate their nonsense with firm kindness. Ever since my youngest daughter was tiny, there were times when Andrea was the only person I could trust to calm her when she was experiencing separation anxiety and inconsolable. Andrea is a gem!”

Booked by 5 families in Newton Highlands, MA
Hello! I am a student at Northeastern University here in Boston, but am originally from Southern California. I am currently studying Math and Data Science. I have been in childcare for over five years now, and have extensive experience with children of all ages. I have made long term connections with families in California, and am looking to make some here in Boston! My experience includes caring for multiple children, cooking, cleaning, bathing, taking to school/activities, and entertaining multiple children at once. I am mainly looking for nights and weekends as I am currently working a full-time internship. Looking forward to meeting you and your family!

Allie Klaire $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Newton Highlands, MA
Hi! My name is Allie. I am originally from Texas, but have been in Boston since August 2023. I am going into my senior year of college at the New England Conservatory of Music where I study trombone performance. I am also an Aunt to 5 amazing nieces and nephews (currently ages 8 months to 12 years old) I love to be around kids of all ages and have taken pride in watching my niece and nephews grow up and being a part of their lives. As you might guess, I love music and would love to sing and play along with the kiddos! I also have ample experience with animals. I grew up with dogs around all of the time! I currently have 3 dogs of my own (that live back home with my parents), but have in the past owned and raised chickens, cows, turkeys, and pigs. I am comfortable around any animal and would absolutely love to help out with them.

I’m happy to do a call beforehand and look forward to helping your family!

"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."
