Find a last-minute babysitter in Boxborough, MA

Hi my name is Zahra. I am an 18 year old college student majoring in Nursing. I want to be a pediatric nurse and have always had an interest in working with kids. I currently work at an after school program a few days a week. I have been with them since 2024 so I have experience working with children as young as 5 years old. I am able to do chores around the house, help with homework, and occasionally run errands. I like dancing, playing board games and am open to all other activities!

Hi! My name is Grace, and I’m a first-year student-athlete at Simmons University. I offer child care, household help, and pet care. I’ve been babysitting since high school and have experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I also have a background working with children with special needs, including kids on the autism spectrum. I’m patient, calm, and always focused on communication and safety. I am lifeguard-certified and trained in CPR and First Aid, so families can feel confident that their children are in safe hands. I love creating a positive and active environment—whether that means helping with homework, doing crafts, reading, imaginary play, or getting kids outside to burn off energy. Even without car access, I’m great at planning fun activities and keeping kids engaged. As a college volleyball player, I bring strong energy, organization, and reliability to everything I do. Parents can count on me to show up on time, stay engaged, and keep routines running smoothly. I’m also happy to help with meal prep, light cleaning, organizing, and bedtime or morning routines. I’m comfortable with dogs and most pets, and I’m very organized, so helping out around the house or keeping things tidy is no problem. I’d love to get to know your family and help make your weekly routine easier and more enjoyable!

My name is Alyssa, I have had the pleasure of working with children for over a decade now, since 2010. In my professional journey, I have served as an assistant director and currently hold the position of a lead teacher in a PreK classroom. I take pride in my qualifications, as I am Director certified, CPR/First Aid certified, and have a strong background in Reggio Curriculum. I have had the opportunity to work closely with numerous families, including one that I have been with for the past 10 years, initially meeting through care. com. I am seeking an afterschool babysitting position where I can continue to engage with children outside of the traditional classroom setting. Im interested in taking children to and from afterschool activities, planning exciting outdoor adventures, and providing homework assistance and support with any other afterschool tasks. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you would like more info or if you are interested in discussing potential opportunities.

Hello, my name is Nicole and I am a 20 year old student-athlete who is back in town for winter break. I have grown up surrounded by so much family, which I am extremely grateful for. I have years of experience watching three of my younger cousins, ages from an infant, a three year old, and a five year old. Additionally, I watched over my high school volleyball coach’s three kids with similar ages, and several different families who associated with her! My mom raised three children herself, so I understand how difficult it can be to balance work and finding care for your child. While I’m home, I’d love to help as much as possible with the additional time I have!

Hi there! My name is Jonny and I am an undergraduate student at Boston University studying psychology with interests in mental health research and child psychology. I live on campus in a beautiful brownstone apartment and I spend most of my time studying or with friends. I am offering child, senior, pet, and house care services. I have experience working with inner-city Boston kids (ages 8-12) at the Hale Outdoor Learning Adventures camp, where I learned how to connect with kids with all different kinds of temperaments and personalities. My responsibilities there ranged from helping kids with arts and crafts to conflict resolution when kids were having tough days with one another. I enjoy doing any activities that seem to best engage the kids, whether it be playing games, reading with them, or singing along to songs. I have also been a peer tutor at the high school and university levels, with competency across maths, sciences, english, and social sciences, with some basic french and spanish language skills. I have cooking and cleaning skills and spent time taking care of my grandparents in England. I come from a cat family, but I love all animals and pets!
