Kevin 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

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.”

Hi! My name is Vera. I have 3-4 years of experience caring for children of all ages from infants to pre-teens and I always focus on creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment.

I believe in positive communication and making sure children and families feel comfortable. I am also open to helping with household services! I am a very neat and organized person who enjoys having tasks done and maintaining a nice clean and comfortable space. Many describe me as reliable, patient, and attentive. I am CPR certified.

Emily $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emily, and I am a rising senior at Simmons University studying Nursing. I am currently offering childcare, senior care, and household services. I have over four years of babysitting experience working with school-aged children, as well as two years of experience in a daycare setting caring for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. These experiences have helped me develop the patience, flexibility, and creativity needed to care for children of all ages while ensuring they are safe, engaged, and having fun. As a nursing student, I am certified in CPR and Basic Life Support (BLS) through the American Heart Association. My education and clinical experiences have strengthened my ability to remain calm under pressure, communicate effectively, and provide compassionate care. Through my nursing clinicals, I have also worked with older adults and am comfortable assisting with senior care. I love creating fun and interactive experiences for children, whether that means making crafts, playing board games, having dance parties, reading stories, helping with homework, or joining an imaginative dress-up adventure. If your child needs a princess, pirate, superhero sidekick, or tea party guest, I am happy to play the part! I am primarily looking for occasional babysitting opportunities and date-night coverage. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your family, and I strive to provide dependable, attentive, and engaging care that gives parents peace of mind while they're away. I look forward to connecting with your family and learning how I can best support your needs!

Azariah $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a Social Work major at Simmons University and I have experience with babysitting in the long term and short term, dog-sitting, cat-sitting, and house-sitting. I am incredibly patient, creative, understanding, and a quick problem solver which makes me perfect for working with kids. I am quick to learn each family's rules and preferences and enforce them gently. I am a strong communicator which means I am great at building a rapport both with parents and kids. I have been CPR certified by the American Heart Association and am ready to take on responsibilities such as making meals, cleaning, and organizing for a family in addition to childcare or pet care.

Mariana $20 per hour for 1 child

I am college student here at Fisher College looking to help out on my free time. I was a preschool teacher for 1-3 year olds during the summer and I loved working and teaching them. I also have a passion for animals and my whole life I have lived and grown up with dogs and cats. I have a dog named Maia and a cat named Beatrice so any help needed with pets are my expertise. I am very passionate about what I do and want to always provide the best support and help for any client or parents (pet parents too!).
