Chloé $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Roslindale, MA

Hi! I’m Chloé and I am an engineering student at Northeastern University. I have around 9 years of paid experience babysitting of ages 3 months to 15 years old, and have taken care of up to five kids at once. Outside of babysitting, I have worked as a coach, camp counselor, Head Youth Coach, and Youth Programs Director, so I have a lot of experience in finding fun things for kids to do! I am First Aid/CPR/AED certified for infants, children, and adults. I love cooking, so if you need some help with meal prepping, I would love to bring some creative recipes to your household! I also am a native French speaker and have a B2 level in Spanish, so I thrive in multilingual households. I’m happy to help with homework, cleaning up around the house, laundry, and more! Thanks for reading! Reach out if I seem like a good fit for your family.

Jaice $22 per hour for 1 child

Hey there! I’m Jaice, a student-athlete at Northeastern University, majoring in psychology and criminology. Originally from the heart of New York City, I’ve always been surrounded by community, which is a big part of who I am! When it comes to working with kids, I’ve got plenty of experience! I’ve spent years working with children, including leading summer camps and teaching health in schools. I’m great at connecting with kids and adjusting to their unique personalities, making sure they feel comfortable and have a blast. Additionally, I’ve worked with the NYC Department of Health and Hygiene, so I really understand how important mental and physical well-being are in providing great care. I’m super upbeat, love doing crafts, cooking, baking, and learning new things! I’m certified in Mental Health First Aid and a Mandated Reporter, so you can trust that I’m always prepared for anything. I can’t wait to meet you and your little ones—I’m ready for some fun, learning, and plenty of smiles! 😊
