Find an emergency babysitter in Braintree, MA

Hi! My name is Anna and I’m a reliable, energetic, and caring babysitter based in Boston. I have several years of experience caring for children of various ages, from toddlers to school-aged kids. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where kids can play, do crafts, and stay active. I’m also more than happy to help with homework, light housekeeping, and preparing healthy meals. I’m very organized, punctual, and attentive to each family's unique routine and needs. Additionally, I am a huge animal lover and comfortable in homes with pets! I look forward to meeting your family and helping make your daily routine a little easier!

Hi! My name is Allie. I am originally from Texas, but have been in Boston since August 2023. I am going into my senior year of college at the New England Conservatory of Music where I study trombone performance. I am also an Aunt to 5 amazing nieces and nephews (currently ages 8 months to 12 years old) I love to be around kids of all ages and have taken pride in watching my niece and nephews grow up and being a part of their lives. As you might guess, I love music and would love to sing and play along with the kiddos! I also have ample experience with animals. I grew up with dogs around all of the time! I currently have 3 dogs of my own (that live back home with my parents), but have in the past owned and raised chickens, cows, turkeys, and pigs. I am comfortable around any animal and would absolutely love to help out with them.

Hi, I'm Rachel! I’m a warm, caring, and dependable person who genuinely loves taking care of people and animals and finds being of service deeply rewarding. Over the years, I’ve babysat for friends, family, and neighbors as needed, primarily caring for children ages 1–13. I also have two nephews who I’ve helped care for since they were born, including living with my sister and her family for months at a time to help with childcare and supporting them during extended visits. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and creating an environment where they feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves. As an artist and writer, I love encouraging creativity and imagination, whether we’re making something, playing games, telling stories, singing, dancing, getting outside, or finding other ways to be active and have fun. I prefer being actively engaged with the kids I’m caring for rather than relying on screens to keep them occupied, while also taking my cues from each child’s personality, interests, and energy. I also helped care for my grandmother for several years after she developed dementia. I assisted with meals, cleaning, personal hygiene, and everyday needs, but just as importantly, I spent time with her, kept her company, and helped her feel safe and comfortable. That experience taught me a great deal about patience, compassion, and preserving someone’s dignity while supporting them through a vulnerable stage of life. In recent years, I’ve also gained extensive experience caring for pets—particularly dogs—through pet sitting while traveling. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining their normal routines while their people are away. My personality is naturally warm, loving, optimistic, and encouraging. Emotional regulation is important to me, and I bring a calm, grounded presence to the people and animals in my care. I’m attentive to individual needs, respectful of healthy boundaries, and understand how important it is for families to have a caregiver they can trust to respect their routines, communicate openly, and care for their family with the same thoughtfulness they would want to provide themselves. I’m also happy to jump in wherever I’m needed, whether that means cooking, running errands, cleaning, laundry, organizing, or helping keep the household running smoothly. I love being someone others can depend on—someone who notices what needs doing, pitches in, and makes life a little easier!

Hello! My name is Susannah and I work as a Child and Adolescent Therapist in the greater Boston community. I have been working with children in various capacities since I was 13 years-old and being with kids is truly my greatest joy and passion. Childcare history: Over the last 15-20 years, I have worked with kids through running a daycare center, working as a camp counselor, working in afterschool programs, nannying and babysitting for families, and now each day in my professional work! I am kind, creative, playful and silly, while also understanding the need for firmness and boundaries when the moment calls to keep things running smoothly and safely for all! I am the caregiver who is more likely to take your child(ren) to the park or to a local museum than plop them in front of the TV. I am thoughtful to engage the kids that I work with in activities that will stimulate them and help them work toward developmental milestones appropriate for their age . You can often find me hanging with a kiddo reading a book, playing music, or going for a scavenger hunt around the community to count all the colors we can find. Pet care: Aside from children, pets are my greatest love. 4 years ago I adopted a dog and understand how important it is to find someone to care for your animal like they are your own while you are away from them. Happy to be the sitter who plays fetch in the backyard or local park, or simply curls up on the couch for some snuggles! As a Mom to a reactive/anxious pup, I am comfortable working with animals who may have some "quirks" to their behavior. Further, I have experience with medication administration for cats and dogs.

I really like and generally have a very good rapport with most children (toddlers, especially) and have experience baby sitting and taking out for entertainment events several generations of nieces, nephews, grand-nieces & nephews, Enjoy reading, theatre/dance/music concerts and cultural events/venues, stories & re-enacting characters with and for children. I've worked in the past at the Wheelock Family Theatre and have worked as costumed characters in holiday events, especially (e g. X-Mas Elf at Filene's and Macy's; Mouse King in Boston Ballet Nutcracker promos, etc. Also, I'm a dog-lover .... have a good "rapport" with them, too. Many dogs I don't know will approach me for friendly attention while being walked. It appears - like children - that they have a "sixth sense", too. I'm also able to take on occasional office-support, general cleaning, and small special projects. I work PT and remotely from home in B2B sales and marketing. As my schedule can be somewhat flexible, I occasionally have open times for baby sitting, generally in the late afternoon, evenings, on some weekends, and - when remote work is slow - sometimes earlier in the day on weekdays.
