Hello! My name is Megan and I have a PhD in Child Clinical Psychology. I am new to the Boston area and would love to connect with a few families for date night / weekend babysitting. I have 15+ years experience babysitting kids 6 months and older. I'm a positive, reliable, and flexible person. I've fostered many incredible relationships with families over the years and would love the chance to meet yours!

Megan was super sweet. She easily accommodated our needs since we were in a hotel room for a wedding! Kiddo was safe and happy!

Hi families! My name is Astrid. I began my childcare journey at just 19 years old. I helped out as an assistant teacher in my mother Montessori daycare for 5 years. I then went on to be a career nanny with a 4 year gap starting in 2020 due to the pandemic. In my years of being a nanny, I have taken several college courses in child psychology and development. My approach to child care is heavily influenced by the Montessori philosophy, letting the child’s mind guide me into caring for them. I have extensive experience with children from 3 months old to 6 years old. I am passionate about what I do and would love an opportunity to prove it to you.

Astrid was great with my son. He was comfortable with her right away. She took him to the park and got him to bed without a problem.

Hello families! Im Azja with an extensive background in education and early childhood development and behavioral health. A little about me...I am the only child . I've been working with and assisting teachers over 10+ years . All my experiences over the years have came from babysitting , volunteering at daycares, and working at camps was great training and experience to contribute to my early child and care, which is what I have majored in college . I also have worked as an ABA therapist summer of 2019 working with children on the autism spectrum while in undergrad . I have done volunteer work for children services of Roxbury, worked at camp joy ( children with special needs) and community centers such as the boys and girls club . I have worked in the field in all classroom levels between daycare and fifth grade, including being a behavioral aide . Over the small amount of time I have obtained a lot of experience with a wide range of ages, needs, as well as multiples. Willing to do educational activities. I'm a firm believer that the best way for children to learn is through play (Piaget). So I always try my best to "kill two birds with one stone" - have fun AND learn something, all in one activity.

Azja had top notch communication and punctuality. Also working with us last minute due to a cancellation and squeezing in an interview. Worked well with our daughter on her first non-family babysitter and did a great job managing the evening. Would recommend!

Booked by 3 families in West Roxbury, MA

I have several years of experience providing reliable babysitting, cat sitting, and house sitting services. My passion for working with children led me to spend this past summer at a daycare clinic, where I gained valuable experience caring for children with autism. This opportunity deepened my understanding of children’s unique needs and reinforced my commitment to fostering a safe, nurturing environment for them. I will always do everything in my power to ensure both children and parents feel comfortable and confident in my care.

Molly is great! She is reliable and professional. My two children are very different - one is outgoing and extroverted and the other is cautious and slow to engage. Molly intuitively understood what each of them needed and helped them both get comfortable with her. My kids have already asked me when she is coming over again.
