Hi families! I'm Aniyah, and I'm currently looking for part-time babysitting position. I'm a certified babysitter with First Aid, CPR, and BLS Certifications, and I truly enjoy working with children - whether that's helping with homework, planning fun activities, or keeping routines smooth and stress-free for parents. I also handle Lighthouse cleanup and meal preparation. I'm responsible, patient, and big on safety and communication. My availability is Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 12-6, and I'm open to recurring or Occasional positions or speaking about different times. Please feel free to reach out if you're looking for a sitter and have any questions. Thank you 😊!

Adelaide $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Adelaide, a senior majoring in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Belmont University. Originally from Quincy, IL, I grew up as the oldest of four sisters, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. Alongside babysitting for other families, I’ve developed a strong background in childcare and responsibility from a young age. In addition to my family experience, I worked as a caregiver for two years during my sophomore and junior years, gaining hands-on experience caring for individuals across a wide age range. This work has deepened my understanding and appreciation of compassionate, attentive care for people of all backgrounds and needs.

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!
