Hi! I’m a senior at Newton South High School who loves working with kids. I’ll be attending Bowdoin College in the fall, and I’m looking to connect with families for babysitting this spring and summer (and potentially beyond!). I have four years of babysitting experience with children of various ages, I’m CPR certified, and I have my own car so I can drive. I’m very responsible, organized, and energetic, and I enjoy engaging kids in crafts, outdoor activities, and games. I’d love to connect if you’re looking for help!

Booked by 1 family in Brighton, MA

Hello! My name is Teagan and I have been working with kids of all ages for about 11 years. I have experience working with children from ages 0-16. Please reach out if you have any questions! Thanks!

Teagan looked after my son (four and a half months old) during the day while I ran some errands. She was energetic when she walked in and it was clear she knew a baby of his ages rhythm. Luca didn’t take a long nap like he typically does by Teagan was able to calm him down and do some more chilled playtime. She was also communicative throughout the day.

Hi families! I’m a former au pair and professional nanny of 4 years. I have 900+ verified hours as a volunteer at a daycare in South Africa. I’m a quick learner and can easily adapt to new routines and responsibilities. I do have a valid driver’s license with driving experience in all weather conditions and different car types. I am comfortable around small dogs and friendly cats. I am comfortable with light house cleaning(light sweeping, dishes, light laundry, tidying up) and can assist with homework. I am a bit silly and fun but always within reason. If needed I can whip up quick meals too!

Booked by 1 family in Brighton, MA

I have always enjoyed working with children and began babysitting for family and neighbors during high school and college, both on a part-time and occasional basis. These experiences gave me the chance to care for kids of different ages, from toddlers to school-aged children, and helped me develop patience, creativity, and responsibility. I truly love spending time with children, whether it’s helping with homework, reading stories, playing games, or just keeping them engaged in fun and safe activities. Families describe me as caring, dependable, and attentive, and I pride myself on creating a positive and safe environment. In addition to childcare, I’m comfortable assisting with light household tasks and pet care if needed. Overall, I see babysitting as more than just a job, it’s an opportunity to support families and be a trusted presence for their children.

Hi! I am an experienced, multilingual and licensed educator, with over 20 years of experience. I offer childcare, tutoring, pet and elderly care. I excel at working with neurodiverse individuals, children and teens.

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!
