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.

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! :)

Sakile $35 per hour for 1 child

Good Day Families! I am Sakile (Sah-Key-Lay), and I’m passionate about nurturing children’s growth and development. With over 15 years of experience in early childhood education, I’ve had the joy of supporting children and families across the globe. Whether you need help with routines, tutoring for early elementary learners, or light household support like cooking and cleaning, I bring patience, creativity, and care to every part of the day. I’m also a certified yoga teacher and love introducing children to movement and mindfulness through fun, age-appropriate yoga practices. Music, dance, ready, and crafts are a big part of how I connect with little ones, helping them learn and express themselves in joyful, meaningful ways. I’d love to be a trusted part of your child’s journey and your family’s support system!
