Booked by 3 families in Wellesley, MA

I really like and generally have a very good rapport with most children (toddlers, especially) and have experience baby sitting and taking out for entertainment events several generations of nieces, nephews, grand-nieces & nephews, Enjoy reading, theatre/dance/music concerts and cultural events/venues, stories & re-enacting characters with and for children. I've worked in the past at the Wheelock Family Theatre and have worked as costumed characters in holiday events, especially (e g. X-Mas Elf at Filene's and Macy's; Mouse King in Boston Ballet Nutcracker promos, etc. Also, I'm a dog-lover .... have a good "rapport" with them, too. Many dogs I don't know will approach me for friendly attention while being walked. It appears - like children - that they have a "sixth sense", too. I'm also able to take on occasional office-support, general cleaning, and small special projects. I work PT and remotely from home in B2B sales and marketing. As my schedule can be somewhat flexible, I occasionally have open times for baby sitting, generally in the late afternoon, evenings, on some weekends, and - when remote work is slow - sometimes earlier in the day on weekdays.

Hi! I'm Annabelle. I'm a pre-medical undergraduate student at Boston College. I have worked with children for the past six years. I've been babysitting and working at a summer camp since I was 13. I absolutely love kids. I am CPR certified in both adult and pediatrics. My availability is pretty open and I am available for any last minute jobs. I am also able to help with tasks outside of just babysitting such as tutoring, cleaning, etc. I love pets and don't mind taking care of them too if necessary. I do not have a car with me on campus but I do have a license and don't mind running errands if necessary. Please reach out with any opportunities!

Booked by 3 families in Wellesley, MA

Hi there! My name is Grace, and I specialize in infant care, though I truly enjoy working with children at every stage of development. I’m attentive to the unique needs of babies, children, and their families, and I prioritize building strong relationships through open, honest communication. I create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore and grow. I’m also happy to assist with errands, light meal prep, house-sitting, and caring for pets and plants. I take pride in being reliable, warm, and supportive, and I value becoming a trusted, consistent presence in a family’s daily routine. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family!

I can’t recommend Grace enough! She was our nanny for my daughter and another child for 3 years. She kept the kids busy with walks, activities and outings by car or public transit. My daughter still talks about her days with Grace fondly! From infancy through toddlerhood, Grace was a joy to have in our home, cherished our kids as if they were her own, and truly enjoyed her time with them. Any family will be lucky to have Grace!

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Noelle, and I’m a recent graduate from Stanford University with a degree in Industrial Engineering and a minor in Spanish. I currently work full-time as a financial analyst, but I’m also looking for part-time babysitting opportunities. I’ve always enjoyed caring for kids and have experience babysitting for family, friends, and during high school, where I was responsible for tutoring and transporting a 10-year-old girl from school to her extracurricular activities. Families often describe me as responsible, dependable, and attentive. I also take safety seriously and plan to complete my CPR certification through my employer soon, which I’ll bring into my babysitting work as well. Whether it is helping with homework, preparing snacks, keeping little ones entertained, or caring for babies including feeding and diaper changes, I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and positive environment for every child I watch. I also love animals, especially cats and dogs, and I am happy to look after them too. In addition, I can help out around the house to make things a little easier for busy parents. I look forward to babysitting for your family soon :)

Hi - My name is Margaret. I'm a paraprofessional in an integrated (special needs and traditional education) preschool classroom at Placentino Elementary in Holliston. I’m looking for additional hours working with children and families after school, on school holidays, and weekends. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household services. I live in Holliston with two of my own and two step children in their teenage and young adult years, and two dogs. I had cats for two decades prior to 2020. I’ve been an active member of the PTA for many of my children’s school years, have experience in ABA and working with neurodiverse children and adults with traits or official diagnosis of ADHD. autism, and dyslexia. I am also a certified yoga instructor working towards an additional yoga certification for neurodiverse children and adults.
