Booked by 1 family in Chelsea, 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.”

Hi families! I’m a former au pair and professional nanny of 4 years. I have 900+ verified hours as a volunteer at a daycare in South Africa. I’m a quick learner and can easily adapt to new routines and responsibilities. I do have a valid driver’s license with driving experience in all weather conditions and different car types. I am comfortable around small dogs and friendly cats. I am comfortable with light house cleaning(light sweeping, dishes, light laundry, tidying up) and can assist with homework. I am a bit silly and fun but always within reason. If needed I can whip up quick meals too!

I have 4 years of experience working with young children as an Associate Preschool Teacher. I’m patient, dependable, caring, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun. I’m comfortable creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment while also being responsive to each child’s individual needs.

“Kevin has been a wonderful babysitter for our family. I have both a 5 year old and a 2 year old. He’s extremely professional, always on time, has a ton of experience and the kids just love to play and read with him. Dinner bath and bedtime aren’t easy and Kevin always has done a great job staying on schedule and successfully following the routine.”
