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!

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!

Sarina $20 per hour for 1 child

As an older sibling of three, I have been taking care of little ones since I can remember. I babysat neighbors and family friends since I was 14, and have worked with children of all ages in school-based settings throughout high school and college. I grew up with dogs and cats and am familiar and comfortable taking care of furry friends as well. Currently, I am a Master's of Social Work student at Simmons University and work at a group home with teenagers. I am very comfortable around kids of all ages and can be kind, playful, and compassionate while reinforcing expectations. I have experience working with youth with complicated mental health diagnoses and complex needs, as well as neurodivergent kiddos. I am also extremely clean, able to take care of house plants, and love to cook! In my free time, I enjoy knitting, crocheting, and crafting, and I enjoy being creative with the little ones I watch. I also love being outside and active! :)
