Find a last-minute babysitter in Boston, MA

Hi! My name is Rachel (Ray) and I am 21 years old. I go to Northeastern as a Psych/Human Services student. I have worked at Perkins School for the Blind in special education as a teacher’s assistant for a little over a year with teenagers and young adults. I also have been a volunteer tutor with elementary aged kids for a little over two years. I love art and music (I have a guitar I love to bring), sensory, getting energy out and being silly.

Hi! My name is Kay, and I’m a student at Emmanuel College in the Fenway area, where I’m pursuing a degree in Elementary Education. I have about three years of hands-on experience working with children from kindergarten through 8th grade, and I currently work in both pre- and post-school day programs as well as summer camps. Additionally, I have experience babysitting younger children, ages 2–4. Working with kids is truly my passion. My goal is to provide a safe, positive, and caring environment where children feel supported and engaged. I take pride in being patient, attentive, and responsible, and I always strive to make each child’s time with me fun, meaningful, and secure. I also have over five years of experience pet sitting both large and small dogs, as well as cats. I’m more than happy to take on household pet responsibilities, including feeding, walking, and providing attentive care while you’re away.

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!

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.

Hi! My name is Sofia, and I'm originally from Seattle, Washington. I have a passion for working with children, and have 8+ years of experience in babysitting/childcare positions. I am currently a 4th year international business student at Northeastern University. Since moving to Boston for school, I am looking forward to continue working with children and families in the Boston area! In my hometown of Seattle, I worked as a volunteer (later promoted to paid) reading coach for 2nd and 3rd-grade students at Team Read for 3 semesters. Additionally, I volunteered as a camp counselor at Girls Rock Math for two summers, leading 1st through 8th-grade girls in educational and social camp activities. Furthermore, I have regularly babysat and nannied for numerous families in the Seattle area, including families with as many as 4 children, ages 0-16. I would be more than happy to provide references upon request! Having grown up with a younger sister, I have been around children my entire life. To every family I work with, I bring my creativity, imagination, bubbly personality, and organizational skills. I look forward to hearing from you!
