"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Mariana $20 per hour for 1 child
I am college student here at Fisher College looking to help out on my free time. I was a preschool teacher for 1-3 year olds during the summer and I loved working and teaching them. I also have a passion for animals and my whole life I have lived and grown up with dogs and cats. I have a dog named Maia and a cat named Beatrice so any help needed with pets are my expertise. I am very passionate about what I do and want to always provide the best support and help for any client or parents (pet parents too!).

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.

Booked by 5 families in Hingham, MA
Hello! I am a student at Northeastern University here in Boston, but am originally from Southern California. I am currently studying Math and Data Science. I have been in childcare for over five years now, and have extensive experience with children of all ages. I have made long term connections with families in California, and am looking to make some here in Boston! My experience includes caring for multiple children, cooking, cleaning, bathing, taking to school/activities, and entertaining multiple children at once. I am mainly looking for nights and weekends as I am currently working a full-time internship. Looking forward to meeting you and your family!
Malika $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Malika, I am a Biology student at Northeastern University. I have been babysitting and looking after pets since I was 15/16. I have been with twins, toddlers, several dogs and have loved spending time with them! I am very enthusiastic and am also up for running errands and keeping homes clean and tidy.
Stephanie $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I am currently providing child care, senior care, and household services. I enjoy working with children - being a parent, I hope this reassures you that I will look after your child or children with the same care I would want for my baby girl: with love, patience, compassion, respect, experience, and more. I can also support/assist with personal/virtual administrative assistance. I am a full-time Operations Manager! Have a question or proposal? Ask away.
