Find an emergency babysitter in Somerville, MA

Hi! My name is Paola and I’m a recent Master’s graduate beginning my career as a pediatric psychotherapist while working toward independent licensure. I have a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine. I have over 5 years of experience working with children of all ages. I’ve been babysitting since I was a teenager, worked as a preschool teacher during summers in undergrad, and currently work as a pediatric psychotherapist with kids ages 2-18. I especially love working with younger children and have a strong interest in early childhood development. I’m originally from Puerto Rico and am bilingual in English and Spanish. I enjoy engaging kids through play, crafts, reading, and other creative activities, and I strive to create a warm and supportive environment.

Hi!! I’m Emma, and I am a graduate pharmacy student with a B.S. in Biology and have around 3-4 years of hands-on experience caring for children! I’ve worked as a summer camp counselor for two summers(4-6 year olds), babysitter (children under the age of 10), and surgical dental assistant, so I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and genuinely love helping others. As a former resident assistant in a university dorm, I’ve managed emergencies, created community events, and supported students emotionally and academically. I also hold CPR certification, a pharmacy intern license, and have experience in household support—whether it’s helping with homework, doing laundry, or maintaining a clean and organized environment.

I’m a registered nurse with a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and years of experience caring for children and families. In addition to my nursing background, I have several years of babysitting experience with multiple families, caring for children of different ages and personalities. I’m CPR certified and am responsible, patient, attentive, dependable, and calm in unexpected situations. My nursing experience has taught me to pay close attention to detail and prioritize safety while still making sure kids have fun and feel comfortable. I’m happy to help with meals, homework, bedtime routines, activities, errands, and light household tasks. I’m warm, energetic, trustworthy, and easygoing, and I genuinely love spending time with kids. I’m also a huge animal lover and am comfortable caring for pets, including feeding, walks, and general care. Overall, I’m someone families can feel comfortable trusting in their home, and I always strive to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own family.

Hello! I’m an English graduate student at Boston College and a daytime nanny looking for additional caretaking roles on evenings and weekends. I love kids of all ages, am passionate about exploring nature, and enjoy home cooking. I have nearly ten years of childcare and teaching experience.

Hi families! My name is Astrid. I began my childcare journey at just 19 years old. I helped out as an assistant teacher in my mother Montessori daycare for 5 years. I then went on to be a career nanny with a 4 year gap starting in 2020 due to the pandemic. In my years of being a nanny, I have taken several college courses in child psychology and development. My approach to child care is heavily influenced by the Montessori philosophy, letting the child’s mind guide me into caring for them. I have extensive experience with children from 3 months old to 6 years old. I am passionate about what I do and would love an opportunity to prove it to you.
