Paola $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Newton, MA
Hi! My name is Paola and I’m a recent Master’s graduate beginning my career as a pediatric psychotherapist while working toward independent licensure. I have a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine. I have over 5 years of experience working with children of all ages. I’ve been babysitting since I was a teenager, worked as a preschool teacher during summers in undergrad, and currently work as a pediatric psychotherapist with kids ages 2-18. I especially love working with younger children and have a strong interest in early childhood development. I’m originally from Puerto Rico and am bilingual in English and Spanish. I enjoy engaging kids through play, crafts, reading, and other creative activities, and I strive to create a warm and supportive environment.
Katie $30 per hour for 1 child
I’m a registered nurse with a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and years of experience caring for children and families. In addition to my nursing background, I have several years of babysitting experience with multiple families, caring for children of different ages and personalities. I’m CPR certified and am responsible, patient, attentive, dependable, and calm in unexpected situations. My nursing experience has taught me to pay close attention to detail and prioritize safety while still making sure kids have fun and feel comfortable. I’m happy to help with meals, homework, bedtime routines, activities, errands, and light household tasks. I’m warm, energetic, trustworthy, and easygoing, and I genuinely love spending time with kids. I’m also a huge animal lover and am comfortable caring for pets, including feeding, walks, and general care. Overall, I’m someone families can feel comfortable trusting in their home, and I always strive to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own family.
