Hi families! I'm Aniyah, and I'm currently looking for part-time babysitting position. I'm a certified babysitter with First Aid, CPR, and BLS Certifications, and I truly enjoy working with children - whether that's helping with homework, planning fun activities, or keeping routines smooth and stress-free for parents. I also handle Lighthouse cleanup and meal preparation. I'm responsible, patient, and big on safety and communication. My availability is Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 12-6, and I'm open to recurring or Occasional positions or speaking about different times. Please feel free to reach out if you're looking for a sitter and have any questions. Thank you 😊!
Hello! My name is Kathleen, I am a college student here in Boston offering childcare, household, and pet care services. I have a surplus of childcare experience between assistant teaching Dance classes since 2019, head coaching gymnastics for 3 years, and the past three summers I have been an overnight camp counselor. I have worked with kids from ages 4-15 between all three positions. I have a sufficient experience with house and pet sitting. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
Hi! My name is Grace, and I’m a first-year student-athlete at Simmons University. I offer child care, household help, and pet care. I’ve been babysitting since high school and have experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I also have a background working with children with special needs, including kids on the autism spectrum. I’m patient, calm, and always focused on communication and safety. I am lifeguard-certified and trained in CPR and First Aid, so families can feel confident that their children are in safe hands. I love creating a positive and active environment—whether that means helping with homework, doing crafts, reading, imaginary play, or getting kids outside to burn off energy. Even without car access, I’m great at planning fun activities and keeping kids engaged. As a college volleyball player, I bring strong energy, organization, and reliability to everything I do. Parents can count on me to show up on time, stay engaged, and keep routines running smoothly. I’m also happy to help with meal prep, light cleaning, organizing, and bedtime or morning routines. I’m comfortable with dogs and most pets, and I’m very organized, so helping out around the house or keeping things tidy is no problem. I’d love to get to know your family and help make your weekly routine easier and more enjoyable!
I can help with home responsibilities: laundry, cooking, admin, etc. I'm a professional chef by trade. Can provide meal prep, allergen safe recipes, event consultation. Also, great with cats. Max 2
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!
