Kay $19 per hour for 1 child

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.

Zahra $16 per hour for 1 child

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!

Sandra $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Sandra. I am a compassionate, loving, reliable, responsible babysitter with 6 years of experience in childcare including toddlers and infants. I love being a babysitter and being part of the child’s growth and development. My responsibilities have included, but not limited to, driving to/from school or appointments, meal prep, homework help, board game fun, arts and crafts, and in some occasions, Spanish lessons. I am fluent in both, written and spoken Spanish and English. I love helping the children that I babysit accomplish their goals no matter how small they may seem.

Melissa $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Everett, MA

Hi! I’m Melissa, a 25-year-old living in Somerville, MA. I grew up in Rhode Island, went to college in upstate New York, and moved to Somerville for grad school before settling into my 9 – 5 in downtown Boston doing Data Analytics. I’ve been babysitting for nearly 10 years, caring for kids of all ages, from infants to teens, and have also spent the past 7 years tutoring math and science. I genuinely love working with children, whether that means helping with homework, getting active outdoors, or snuggling up for a movie. My friends describe me as fun, lively, patient, reliable, and outgoing. I played soccer in college and enjoy running, biking, and staying active, but I’m just as happy to get creative with crafts or work through a tough math problem. I once organized a full-day music video production of Katy Perry’s “Firework” with the kids that turned into a true masterpiece and a favorite memory. I’m adaptable and caring, always striving to bring positive energy and support to the families I work with. I look forward to helping your family however I can!
