$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Roslindale, MA

Looking for someone to fill in those last minute days or nights? Having a hard time finding a long term nanny but need someone else during the search? I’m available! I am a Freelance Film Production Coordinator looking for some part time work. I am the oldest of 7 children and have always been around kids. I worked at a daycare throughout high school and college, and then was a nanny for several years. Currently, I help to take care of my nieces and nephews (aged 3months - 5years) as needed. I am very comfortable and confident with all ages. First Aid and CPR Certified. References available.

Kayla was great with both kids. My 4 year old loved talking with her and she had my 2 year old smiling and giggling. We will definitely have her back!

Sophia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sophia, I’m 22 years old, and currently attending UMass Boston. I’m a caring, patient, and reliable caregiver with hands-on experience in both childcare and dog care. I create a safe, nurturing, and well-organized environment, and I genuinely enjoy supporting children as they learn, play, and grow. I’ve gained valuable experience over the past few years, often assisting my mother in her work as a caregiver. In addition to childcare, I have a deep love for animals, especially dogs, and have several years of experience in dog sitting. I take pride in being attentive, responsible, and compassionate in every role I take on. I have many references I’m able to share with you as well! I’m also new to this app, I usually use care.com! But wanted to give this a try!

Abbie 1 review
$16 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Roslindale, MA

Hi there! My name is Abbie , and I’m a college student living in Boston, Massachusetts, in the Beacon Hill neighborhood. I’m currently a junior at Suffolk University, studying Criminal Justice and Law. One of my lifelong passions has always been helping others and caring for the people around me. I’m originally from Portland, Maine, where I spent years babysitting for several families all throughout school. I absolutely love spending time with kids; playing, learning, and helping them grow. Most of my experience is with children ages 0–4, but I’m comfortable and happy to work with kids of any age. I typically babysit 2–3 children at a time, mostly in the afternoons and evenings. I’d describe myself as kind, lighthearted, responsible, and a little silly. I love bringing fun and laughter into any situation! My babysitting experience has taught me how to stay calm and confident when handling meltdowns or stressful moments, and I truly see caring for children as a privilege. In addition to childcare, I also have experience dog- and cat-sitting, both during the day and overnight. I’m looking forward to connecting with families who could use an extra helping hand.

Our 4 year old son keeps requesting Abbie. She's been absolutely wonderful with him and we're having her take care of him multiple times per week. Highly recommend!

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!

Sophia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m looking for a family in need of occasional childcare this school year. A little bit about me: After high school, I initially pursued a degree in elementary education. For three years, I worked full-time as a nanny for a family in Newton. I later shifted my focus to animal studies and am now a veterinary technician, but I still have nearly ten years of experience caring for children, including over three years as a lifeguard. I also have reliable transportation and would be happy to provide references.
