Hi my name is Ashley, I am a 1st Dental Student living in Boston. I am offering childcare and pet sitting services. I have been CPR certified for over 5 years. I love babysitting! I have been caring for children since I was 8 years old. I enjoy playing games, tutoring and keeping kids busy. I am open to pet sitting small - medium sized dogs as I have been a dog mom for the past 10+ years.
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 am in New York City for the summer in the middle of my MSW program at Simmons University. I have extensive experience working with children in a variety of capacities (school counselor, teacher assistant, afterschool assistant, ABA assistant therapist, school social work intern, babysitter) I am a somewhat recent graduate from Boston College with an Applied Psychology and Human Development B.A. I am currently pursuing my MSW at Simmons University and am looking to help families with occasional or part-time babysitting, pet sitting, or other services. If you would like to discuss more, I can forward my resume and/or references. I would love to hear from you :)
Looking for someone to fill in those last minute days or nights? Having a hard time finding a long term nanny but need someone else during the search? I’m available! I am a Freelance Film Production Coordinator looking for some part time work. I am the oldest of 7 children and have always been around kids. I worked at a daycare throughout high school and college, and then was a nanny for several years. Currently, I help to take care of my nieces and nephews (aged 3months - 5years) as needed. I am very comfortable and confident with all ages. First Aid and CPR Certified. References available.
“Kayla was great with both kids. My 4 year old loved talking with her and she had my 2 year old smiling and giggling. We will definitely have her back!”
My name is Alyssa, I have had the pleasure of working with children for over a decade now, since 2010. In my professional journey, I have served as an assistant director and currently hold the position of a lead teacher in a PreK classroom. I take pride in my qualifications, as I am Director certified, CPR/First Aid certified, and have a strong background in Reggio Curriculum. I have had the opportunity to work closely with numerous families, including one that I have been with for the past 10 years, initially meeting through care. com. I am seeking an afterschool babysitting position where I can continue to engage with children outside of the traditional classroom setting. Im interested in taking children to and from afterschool activities, planning exciting outdoor adventures, and providing homework assistance and support with any other afterschool tasks. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you would like more info or if you are interested in discussing potential opportunities.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
