Camila $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Camila and I’m currently living in Framingham as an au pair. I offer childcare, senior care, and household support services. I truly enjoy working with children and have been babysitting since high school — including experience caring for twins. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups and drop-offs, arts and crafts, tutoring, meal prep, bath and bedtime routines, and children’s laundry. I love creating a calm, fun, and safe environment where kids feel supported and engaged. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, organizing, and running errands. I also have experience in senior care. I was a caregiver for my own grandmother and I am confident supporting daily routines such as meal preparation, transportation to medical appointments, companionship, and household tasks. I am comfortable working in homes with cats and dogs. 🔹 Availability: Weekends 🔹 Languages: Fluent in English and Spanish (happy to support bilingual learning!) I look forward to connecting with a family who values kindness, reliability, and open communication!

Sarah-Jane $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a lifelong nurturer originally from England, though I’ve called this country home since I was 21. My journey with children began at Manchester University where I earned my teaching degree, and it continued through the greatest joy of my life: raising my own two sons, who are now grown. For the last 20 years, I’ve dedicated my heart to caring for other families' little ones. I truly believe that every child needs a patient, creative, and friendly soul in their corner. Whether we are exploring the outdoors, getting lost in a board game, or working through a tricky homework assignment, my goal is always to make your child feel seen and supported. I value the trust you place in me, which is why I prioritize clear, gentle communication and a respectful approach to your family’s unique rhythm and rules. I am also fully certified in CPR and First Aid for your peace of mind. I simply love what I do, and I would be honored to bring a bit of extra joy and stability to your child’s world. I look forward to meeting you and your family!"
