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!

Paige $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Paige and I have spent the last seven years dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of the children I care for. My experience has shaped me into a patient, creative, and approachable caregiver who is comfortable managing the needs of up to four children, ranging from infants to pre-teens. I hold a college degree and maintain current CPR Training and First Aid Training. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping while following your preferred communication method for daily updates. I am very comfortable enforcing your household rules to ensure a consistent environment. I truly look forward to becoming a supportive part of your family's daily life.

Allison $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Allison, a junior at Simmons University studying sociology, public health, and communications. I am looking for a number of caregiving roles in childcare, pet care, and household care. I have experience in a number of care giving settings including as a summer camp counselor to kids (ages 4-9), babysitting for family friends (ages 5-12), cat/dog sitting for family and friends, as well as house sitting and cleaning for family and friends. I am a very organized, detail oriented, and dependable person in my work, school, and personal life. In my experience as a summer camp counselor I helped to manage and engage groups of up to 50 children in crowded public places such as amusement parks, ensured children’s safety while having fun in a variety of environments including swimming holes, and adapted activities to help suit children with different individual needs.

Emma $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Hopkinton, MA

Hi!! I’m Emma, and I am a graduate pharmacy student with a B.S. in Biology and have around 3-4 years of hands-on experience caring for children! I’ve worked as a summer camp counselor for two summers(4-6 year olds), babysitter (children under the age of 10), and surgical dental assistant, so I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and genuinely love helping others. As a former resident assistant in a university dorm, I’ve managed emergencies, created community events, and supported students emotionally and academically. I also hold CPR certification, a pharmacy intern license, and have experience in household support—whether it’s helping with homework, doing laundry, or maintaining a clean and organized environment.
