Jonathan $20 per hour for 1 child

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!

Alyssa $30 per hour for 1 child

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.

Hi - My name is Margaret. I'm a paraprofessional in an integrated (special needs and traditional education) preschool classroom at Placentino Elementary in Holliston. I’m looking for additional hours working with children and families after school, on school holidays, and weekends. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household services. I live in Holliston with two of my own and two step children in their teenage and young adult years, and two dogs. I had cats for two decades prior to 2020. I’ve been an active member of the PTA for many of my children’s school years, have experience in ABA and working with neurodiverse children and adults with traits or official diagnosis of ADHD. autism, and dyslexia. I am also a certified yoga instructor working towards an additional yoga certification for neurodiverse children and adults. I love working with children, and have been a nanny, babysitter, or mother since I was a young teenager myself. I look forward to meeting you!

Booked by 3 families in East Walpole, MA

Hi there! My name is Grace, and I specialize in infant care, though I truly enjoy working with children at every stage of development. I’m attentive to the unique needs of babies, children, and their families, and I prioritize building strong relationships through open, honest communication. I create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore and grow. I’m also happy to assist with errands, light meal prep, house-sitting, and caring for pets and plants. I take pride in being reliable, warm, and supportive, and I value becoming a trusted, consistent presence in a family’s daily routine. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family!

“I can’t recommend Grace enough! She was our nanny for my daughter and another child for 3 years. She kept the kids busy with walks, activities and outings by car or public transit. My daughter still talks about her days with Grace fondly! From infancy through toddlerhood, Grace was a joy to have in our home, cherished our kids as if they were her own, and truly enjoyed her time with them. Any family will be lucky to have Grace!”

Lilah $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lilah and I am a freshman at Berklee College of Music with a lot of free time that I would love to spend getting to know my community. I have been babysitting kids ranging from ages 3-15 for 2 and a half years along with my two younger sisters who are now 12 and 15. I love spending time with kids singing karaoke, making fun snacks, doing arts and crafts, and playing games (my personal favorite is uno). I also would be more than willing to help out around the house whether that’s cleaning, running errands, or cooking delicious and nutritious meals!
