Hello I’m Scarlen! I am a Licensed Nursing Assistant at Massachusetts General Hospital and have six years of experience working with children from 7 months to 14 years old. I am fluent in Spanish and passionate about providing safe, attentive, and nurturing care while building positive connections with children and families. I am certified in Basic Life Support (BLS) and CPR, allowing me to respond quickly and responsibly in emergency situations. I bring patience, creativity, and structure to every environment, helping children feel both supported and engaged with. Outside of work and school, I enjoy traveling, nature, and spending time with my younger siblings. I would be happy to get to know you and your family better and provide support in any way you may need.

“Our two little boys loved Scarlen! She was prompt and communicative, very positive and kind with the boys, and she was playful while in control. They took to her instantly and got to bed without issue. She’s a wonderful sitter!”

Booked by 1 family in Brookline, MA

Hi everyone! I am Dalia, a current MPH student at Boston University. I moved to Boston to continue my education after teaching pre-school aged students (6 months to 5 years old) after completing my undergraduate degree in Human Development at Connecticut College. During college I volunteered at our Lab School, working with children aged 2 to 5 years old. In addition, I was a summer camp counselor, teaching ceramics to campers aged 6 to 16 years old and living in a cabin with children 11 to 13 years old. I love art, cooking/baking, being outside and going to museums! I do not have access to a car in Boston but happy to pick up your child via bus/train or by walking. I am happy to send more details about my experience or references. Please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Mei 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Brookline, MA

Hello everyone, my name is Mei. I’m a 26-year-old full-time mental health therapist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work with clients of all ages, but I have a special passion for working with children and young adults. I’ve been a nanny and babysitter on and off for the past 6 years for children ranging from 10 months to 12 years old, and I have experience caring for up to three children at a time. I’m CPR certified and have a reliable new car. I have additional trainings and certifications related to supporting children’s emotional and mental well-being. I bring a calm, patient, and caring approach to childcare and really value meeting children where they are. My professional experience has given me a strong understanding of child development, communication, emotional regulation, and creating a safe and supportive environment for kids. I’m currently looking for part-time or occasional babysitting opportunities, including date nights, weekend care, or other occasional childcare needs. As the cost of living continues to increase, I’m hoping to use my childcare experience to earn some supplemental income while continuing to do something I genuinely enjoy! When I’m babysitting, I love getting to know each child and finding activities they genuinely enjoy. I’m always happy to get creative with arts and crafts, read books, play outside, or come up with fun indoor activities. I believe babysitting should be more than simply supervising children. I want kids to feel comfortable, heard, and engaged while their parents are away. I’m also happy to prepare simple meals or snacks when needed and help with light tidying related to the children. Most importantly, I want parents to feel confident that their children are in caring, responsible, and capable hands. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and help make your time away from your little ones as easy and stress-free as possible!

“Mei has been an incredible addition to our family, consistently demonstrating patience, reliability, and a genuine warmth with our children. Her ability to handle daily routines while keeping the kids engaged in creative activities has been a huge relief for us. We recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a trustworthy and nurturing caregiver.”
