Find an emergency babysitter in Newton Center, MA

I am starting grad school in the fall and looking for part time babysitting jobs. I have experience babysitting babies, toddlers, and kids from ages 3-10. I enjoy art, hiking, reading, and playing piano.

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 :)

Hi! I'm Sarah. Since 2013, when I was a child myself, I began child care and education at the Little Theater of Alexandria, first by helping my mother with her theater classes. A few years later, I began to run my own 30 minute session after hers, "Musical Theater Tots," where I taught children age 3 - 6 songs and simple choreography to perform at the end of the session. This transformed into "Little Singers," in 2016, a free fall class before Christmas where I instructed middle schoolers in harmonious caroling, to be performed in the Alexandria Scottish Walk. Since graduating high school, I come back every summer to run camps like Frozen song and theater, Barbie craft and play, and the Hogwarts camp, where me and three other teachers gave 30 elementary and middle school students an immersive experience, complete with daily classes and a mystery throughout, ending in a duel. I also have babysat as well as au paired, and worked in the winter of 2020 at 826DC as an Educational Programs Intern, facilitating after school writing-related activities and readings for students age 9-15, including a sensory walk to Colombia Heights which culminated in a book, binded in-house. In 2025, I worked as an after school teacher and substitute at Beansprouts nursery school in Brooklyn. I am an auntie to a 10 month old. Making structured play for kids throughout the years—letting a class's minds go free—has been the most fun in my life, and I couldn't think of a better job or something better I am capable of doing for the world. I love my educators, remember and appreciate every single one. I would be honored to be able to give a gift back to the next generation. I attended Bennington College, which means that everything I want to encourage in children—to dance, write, collage, laugh, think—I want to structure my life around, I want to do professionally. I'm an artist who sees teaching and collaborating as intrinsic to the art process. At Bennington, a great deal of the experience was listening to others share their work, having to have an eye of critique as well as humanity. Teaching and educating is a resonant process, a mutual exchange, as well as a delicate relationship where in knowing young people, we have power we must hold responsibly.

Hi! My name is Olivia and I'm currently a graduate student at Simmons University. I am offering child care and household services. I've worked as a teaching assistant in several elementary schools and have worked specifically with children with special needs. I worked as an assistant teacher in Howell NJ with children preschool-kindergarten and 1st-2nd grade for three summers. I also worked most recently as a teacher's assistant in Easton PA for 2nd grade students, tutoring in reading and math. I worked as a teacher in my local church's Sunday school for four years, working with kids between 3rd-5th grade. I love working with kids of all ages and engaging with them in whatever their interests may be! I can offer tutoring in math, history, reading/writing, art lessons, as well as beginner lessons in Latin and Russian. I love arts and crafts, playing sports (especially tennis and dance), and reading. I'm available for household services such as cleaning, running errands, and laundry.

Nannied for a family of 4 (full-time) for 15 years. Overnight, Vacations and Daily care. I use a variety of different child-care philosophies (e.g. RIE, attachement, gentle care giving) I would say I am most aligned with “holistic” care-giving. Dependent of what each persons specific needs are. Meeting peoples emotional needs and watching them thrive is a great joy of mine. Full spectrum doula. Newborn and Night Nanny. Confident in gentle sleep training. (not crying it out) I’ve been involved in the homeschool/unschooling community for 15+ years. I have a degree in psychology, specifically behavior modification, and feel confident giving care to anyone with low-moderate needs. I am also a certified yoga teacher and was a lifeguard for many years. I am experienced in light household chores as well as having deep roots in nutrition, specifically anti-inflammatory diets. My personality is generally relaxed but I am fiercely loyal to the children in my care, meaning I need to work with a family that also views their child/children as complete people and treats them with respect. :) Also I appreciate adults who can be forward and up front about their boundaries and what they want from a caregiver.
