Teagan 1 review
Cambridge
$15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Dedham, 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.

Booked by 1 family in Dedham, 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.

Rashema Boston
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Rashema and I’m currently working in healthcare in a patient care setting. I am offering childcare, and household services. I love working with children and have been working with them (infants, toddlers and teenagers) since I was 14 years old, in both professional and personal settings. My responsibilities have included at home babysitting, helping with homework, etc. I’ve worked at a daycare, briefly worked as an Registered Behavioral Technician where I worked 1 on 1 with a child with autism, and I have worked in patient with teenage girls who struggle with eating disorders. I am not allergic to any pets so I am open and able to work with families with pets! (I had 2 pairs of birds as pets when I was younger).

Booked by 1 family in Dedham, MA

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.

"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!"
