Noelle Brighton
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Noelle, and I’m a recent graduate from Stanford University with a degree in Industrial Engineering and a minor in Spanish. I currently work full-time as a financial analyst, but I’m also looking for part-time babysitting opportunities. I’ve always enjoyed caring for kids and have experience babysitting for family, friends, and during high school, where I was responsible for tutoring and transporting a 10-year-old girl from school to her extracurricular activities. Families often describe me as responsible, dependable, and attentive. I also take safety seriously and plan to complete my CPR certification through my employer soon, which I’ll bring into my babysitting work as well. Whether it is helping with homework, preparing snacks, keeping little ones entertained, or caring for babies including feeding and diaper changes, I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and positive environment for every child I watch. I also love animals, especially cats and dogs, and I am happy to look after them too. In addition, I can help out around the house to make things a little easier for busy parents. I look forward to babysitting for your family soon :)

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Jonny and I am an undergraduate student at Boston University studying psychology with interests in mental health research and child psychology. I live on campus in a beautiful brownstone apartment and I spend most of my time studying or with friends. I am offering child, senior, pet, and house care services. I have experience working with inner-city Boston kids (ages 8-12) at the Hale Outdoor Learning Adventures camp, where I learned how to connect with kids with all different kinds of temperaments and personalities. My responsibilities there ranged from helping kids with arts and crafts to conflict resolution when kids were having tough days with one another. I enjoy doing any activities that seem to best engage the kids, whether it be playing games, reading with them, or singing along to songs. I have also been a peer tutor at the high school and university levels, with competency across maths, sciences, english, and social sciences, with some basic french and spanish language skills. I have cooking and cleaning skills and spent time taking care of my grandparents in England. I come from a cat family, but I love all animals and pets!

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m looking for a family in need of occasional childcare this school year. A little bit about me: After high school, I initially pursued a degree in elementary education. For three years, I worked full-time as a nanny for a family in Newton. I later shifted my focus to animal studies and am now a veterinary technician, but I still have nearly ten years of experience caring for children, including over three years as a lifeguard. I also have reliable transportation and would be happy to provide references.

Allison Boston
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Allison, a junior at Simmons University studying sociology, public health, and communications. I am looking for a number of caregiving roles in childcare, pet care, and household care. I have experience in a number of care giving settings including as a summer camp counselor to kids (ages 4-9), babysitting for family friends (ages 5-12), cat/dog sitting for family and friends, as well as house sitting and cleaning for family and friends. I am a very organized, detail oriented, and dependable person in my work, school, and personal life. In my experience as a summer camp counselor I helped to manage and engage groups of up to 50 children in crowded public places such as amusement parks, ensured children’s safety while having fun in a variety of environments including swimming holes, and adapted activities to help suit children with different individual needs.
