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.

Grace $18 per hour for 1 child

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!

Rachel $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Rachel! I’m a calm, caring, and dependable person who genuinely loves caring for children and finds being of service deeply rewarding. I was also a full-time nanny for a 1-year-old earlier in life and have helped care for my two nephews, now 12 and 15, throughout their lives. As an artist and writer, I love encouraging creativity and imagination through art, games, stories, music, dancing, and outdoor play. I’m warm and playful while providing healthy boundaries, and prefer active engagement over screens. I’m hoping to find a family I can support consistently and grow with long-term. I’m also happy to help with cooking, errands, light cleaning, laundry, and organizing—and I love animals!
