My name is Clara . I am currently a Teacher’s Assistant for toddlers and infants. I have worked in this field for a year now and I am working full time. In addition to working full time, I am a student at Bunker Hill Community college. By the end of this semester, I will receive my certificate in early education. I am looking for a part-time job where I can continue working with the kiddos and learn, hoping to gain enough experience to become a lead teacher and have my own classroom in the future. I have several certifications such as -First Aid/ C.P.R , Safe Sleeping Practices, Emergency Response and Medication Administration. Thank you for considering me to take care of your kiddos! Clara
Hi! My name is Amanda, and I have extensive dog care experience.

Hi =) My name is Keaisha or as many of the children/families I’ve cared for call me Kia =) I'm a former certified primary toddler/preschool teacher at Bright Horizons at Biogen. I am currently a Special Education English Paraprofessional at Excel High teaching grades 9, 11, and 12 in the Special Education department. I am also a college graduate from UMass Boston with a bachelors in psychology. graduated previously from Bunker Hill Community College with 2 degrees; one is a certificate in Early Childhood Development/Education and the other is an Associate in Liberal Arts. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I am also EEC Certified to teach infant, toddler and Preschool students as well as have 2 years experience teaching K-Prep (previously known as Pre-K) students. I started teaching in 2009 when I was still in high school teaching Pre-K kids so i have plenty of experience around that age group. I also have experience with preemies, have the knowledge and experience implementing Infant/toddler/preschool curriculum that support the child’s cognitive, social/emotional, language, fine and gross motor skill development. I have 2 dogs and a cat so I love animals! Proud fur mama! I have plenty of recommendation letters from other parents and families that I have helped raise from 8 week old infants to preschool and have taught their children available upon request. I love caregiving because I love helping and providing mommies and daddies with a sense of relief while also helping them engage and advance their children’s development while they grow.

“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!”
Hi! My name is Kay, and I’m a student at Emmanuel College in the Fenway area, where I’m pursuing a degree in Elementary Education. I have about three years of hands-on experience working with children from kindergarten through 8th grade, and I currently work in both pre- and post-school day programs as well as summer camps. Additionally, I have experience babysitting younger children, ages 2–4. Working with kids is truly my passion. My goal is to provide a safe, positive, and caring environment where children feel supported and engaged. I take pride in being patient, attentive, and responsible, and I always strive to make each child’s time with me fun, meaningful, and secure. I also have over five years of experience pet sitting both large and small dogs, as well as cats. I’m more than happy to take on household pet responsibilities, including feeding, walking, and providing attentive care while you’re away.

"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."
