I am in New York City for the summer in the middle of my MSW program at Simmons University. I have extensive experience working with children in a variety of capacities (school counselor, teacher assistant, afterschool assistant, ABA assistant therapist, school social work intern, babysitter) I am a somewhat recent graduate from Boston College with an Applied Psychology and Human Development B.A. I am currently pursuing my MSW at Simmons University and am looking to help families with occasional or part-time babysitting, pet sitting, or other services. If you would like to discuss more, I can forward my resume and/or references. I would love to hear from you :)
Hi my name is Cristina, I have a lot of personal experience with taking care of people such as my grandmother and my nieces, I also was a camp counselor for DARTS a camp run by the Boston symphony orchestra where I shared my passion for the performing arts and helped the campers use their creativity to put on plays, create dance choreographies and so much more, when it’s not cold or rainy outside I also like to go on fun adventures to new exciting places around Boston :)
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.
Hi! My name is Malika, I am a Biology student at Northeastern University. I have been babysitting and looking after pets since I was 15/16. I have been with twins, toddlers, several dogs and have loved spending time with them! I am very enthusiastic and am also up for running errands and keeping homes clean and tidy.
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!
