Booked by 4 families in Walpole, 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!

Grace 1 review
$27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Walpole, MA

Hi there! My name is Grace, and I specialize in infant care, though I truly enjoy working with children at every stage of development. I’m attentive to the unique needs of babies, children, and their families, and I prioritize building strong relationships through open, honest communication. I create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore and grow. I’m also happy to assist with errands, light meal prep, house-sitting, and caring for pets and plants. I take pride in being reliable, warm, and supportive, and I value becoming a trusted, consistent presence in a family’s daily routine. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family!

I can’t recommend Grace enough! She was our nanny for my daughter and another child for 3 years. She kept the kids busy with walks, activities and outings by car or public transit. My daughter still talks about her days with Grace fondly! From infancy through toddlerhood, Grace was a joy to have in our home, cherished our kids as if they were her own, and truly enjoyed her time with them. Any family will be lucky to have Grace!

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!
