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!

Hi My name is Melinda, What I like most about childcare is being able to make a positive impact on a child’s day. I enjoy seeing their personalities shine as they grow and learn. It’s rewarding to know I can provide comfort, encouragement, and structure while also creating fun, memorable moments.” I’m comfortable with pets and in my past nannying jobs I’ve done food prep, light household chores and picking up And dropping off children. On a few occasions I’ve stayed with the kids as well at there activities which o love doing. I miss the days of my daughter playing sports and dance sessions. Looking forward to creating new experiences.

Availability: looking for primarily evenings/date nights Hello Parents! My name is Courtney and I'm currently an ICU nurse. I have been working as a nanny off Urbansitter for about 8 years and absolutely I love it! I think my favorite part about being a nanny so far has been being a positive role model for young kids. Currently I am working on finishing nursing school and currently I have my EMT license and am BLS certified. Most recently I worked as an EMT at a summer camp these past two summers. By having many different types of childcare jobs I have had the opportunity to work with all age groups from 4 weeks- 16 years old. I am excited to meet more families in the area and if you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out! Frequently Asked Questions: What do I expect from parents? Good communication and being honest with me. This allows me to do the best job possible taking care of your little one :) Are you CPR certified? Yes! Since August 2021. I also have had my EMT license and BLS certification since March 2022 as well as my ACLS and PALS certifications Are you vaccinated? Yes! I am up to date on all my vaccines including COVID (including first, second, and booster) Will you wear a mask around me and my family? Yes, I can! Just let me know if you would like that What if I come home early? Will I still be charged for the full time? Yes, due to me setting time aside in my schedule for an agreed upon amount of hours I do expect full payment. Please let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you :)

Hello I’m Scarlen! I am a Licensed Nursing Assistant at Massachusetts General Hospital and have six years of experience working with children from 7 months to 14 years old. I am fluent in Spanish and passionate about providing safe, attentive, and nurturing care while building positive connections with children and families. I am certified in Basic Life Support (BLS) and CPR, allowing me to respond quickly and responsibly in emergency situations. I bring patience, creativity, and structure to every environment, helping children feel both supported and engaged with. Outside of work and school, I enjoy traveling, nature, and spending time with my younger siblings. I would be happy to get to know you and your family better and provide support in any way you may need.

Our two little boys loved Scarlen! She was prompt and communicative, very positive and kind with the boys, and she was playful while in control. They took to her instantly and got to bed without issue. She’s a wonderful sitter!
