Nannied for a family of 4 (full-time) for 15 years. Overnight, Vacations and Daily care. I use a variety of different child-care philosophies (e.g. RIE, attachement, gentle care giving) I would say I am most aligned with “holistic” care-giving. Dependent of what each persons specific needs are. Meeting peoples emotional needs and watching them thrive is a great joy of mine. Full spectrum doula. Newborn and Night Nanny. Confident in gentle sleep training. (not crying it out) I’ve been involved in the homeschool/unschooling community for 15+ years. I have a degree in psychology, specifically behavior modification, and feel confident giving care to anyone with low-moderate needs. I am also a certified yoga teacher and was a lifeguard for many years. I am experienced in light household chores as well as having deep roots in nutrition, specifically anti-inflammatory diets. My personality is generally relaxed but I am fiercely loyal to the children in my care, meaning I need to work with a family that also views their child/children as complete people and treats them with respect. :) Also I appreciate adults who can be forward and up front about their boundaries and what they want from a caregiver.
Hi families! I'm Aniyah, and I'm currently looking for part-time babysitting position. I'm a certified babysitter with First Aid, CPR, and BLS Certifications, and I truly enjoy working with children - whether that's helping with homework, planning fun activities, or keeping routines smooth and stress-free for parents. I also handle Lighthouse cleanup and meal preparation. I'm responsible, patient, and big on safety and communication. My availability is Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 12-6, and I'm open to recurring or Occasional positions or speaking about different times. Please feel free to reach out if you're looking for a sitter and have any questions. Thank you 😊!
Hello! My name is Kathleen, I am a college student here in Boston offering childcare, household, and pet care services. I have a surplus of childcare experience between assistant teaching Dance classes since 2019, head coaching gymnastics for 3 years, and the past three summers I have been an overnight camp counselor. I have worked with kids from ages 4-15 between all three positions. I have a sufficient experience with house and pet sitting. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
Hello, I am Maliyah. I am 20 years old. I just moved to massachusetts in early November of 2025. I am originally from new york. I worked as a teaching assistant back in New york. I also am the eldest siblings with the age gap being over 10 years. I’d say i have lots of experience with different ages between 2-15. I am excited to start working with you.
Hi! My name is Kaillyn, I’m 19 and a responsible, calm, and reliable caregiver with experience working with children and babysitting my younger cousins. I’m CPR & First Aid certified (renewing April) and very safety-focused.

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."
Laura F., mom of two
