Booked by 1 family in Southborough, MA

I have always enjoyed working with children and began babysitting for family and neighbors during high school and college, both on a part-time and occasional basis. These experiences gave me the chance to care for kids of different ages, from toddlers to school-aged children, and helped me develop patience, creativity, and responsibility. I truly love spending time with children, whether it’s helping with homework, reading stories, playing games, or just keeping them engaged in fun and safe activities. Families describe me as caring, dependable, and attentive, and I pride myself on creating a positive and safe environment. In addition to childcare, I’m comfortable assisting with light household tasks and pet care if needed. Overall, I see babysitting as more than just a job, it’s an opportunity to support families and be a trusted presence for their children.

Andrea 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am an experienced, multilingual and licensed educator, with over 20 years of experience. I offer childcare, tutoring, pet and elderly care. I excel at working with neurodiverse individuals, children and teens.

Andrea has always been wonderful with my girls (ages 3 and 5). She brings the very best of herself, as both a mom and an educator, to the time she spends with them, always doing arts and crafts, science experiments, and reading books. She is warm, loving, and also able to navigate their nonsense with firm kindness. Ever since my youngest daughter was tiny, there were times when Andrea was the only person I could trust to calm her when she was experiencing separation anxiety and inconsolable. Andrea is a gem!

Hi! I am currently providing child care, senior care, and household services. I enjoy working with children - being a parent, I hope this reassures you that I will look after your child or children with the same care I would want for my baby girl: with love, patience, compassion, respect, experience, and more. I can also support/assist with personal/virtual administrative assistance. I am a full-time Operations Manager! Have a question or proposal? Ask away.

Hello! My name is Madlen, I am cape verdean and I have eight years of experience caring for my younger brother, an infant to his current age of eight and my younger cousins. I enjoy helping children learn through play and planning activities that are fun, engaging, and educational. My goal is always to make sure your child feels safe, happy, and cared for! I also have experience caring my pets as well since I was 13. I have a 1 year old dog so I’m used to feeding, walking, playing, and giving lots of attention! I like making sure they are safe and comfy. Im a college student in Florida who is patient, calm and friendly, which helps children feel comfortable. Im available weekends all day and some weekday evenings and I'm happy to work with your schedule as much as possible! I follow household rules and routines very carefully and can provide updates of your child's day through messages, calls or in person conversations-any methods that works for you! split my time between Rhode Island and Florida - I'm in Florida during the school year for college and back home in Rhode Island for breaks and summers. I always keep my availability up to date, so you'll know exactly where I am and when. Im comfortable caring for up to three children at once, from infant to preteen! I can also help with homework, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and pet care if need. If you're looking for someone reliable , flexible snd caring, I'd be happy to support your family!

Hello! I am a student at Northeastern University here in Boston, but am originally from Southern California. I am currently studying Math and Data Science. I have been in childcare for over five years now, and have extensive experience with children of all ages. I have made long term connections with families in California, and am looking to make some here in Boston! My experience includes caring for multiple children, cooking, cleaning, bathing, taking to school/activities, and entertaining multiple children at once. I am mainly looking for nights and weekends as I am currently working a full-time internship. Looking forward to meeting you and your family!
