Zahra $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Zahra. I am an 18 year old college student majoring in Nursing. I want to be a pediatric nurse and have always had an interest in working with kids. I currently work at an after school program a few days a week. I have been with them since 2024 so I have experience working with children as young as 5 years old. I am able to do chores around the house, help with homework, and occasionally run errands. I like dancing, playing board games and am open to all other activities!

Melissa $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Middleton, MA

Hi! I’m Melissa, a 25-year-old living in Somerville, MA. I grew up in Rhode Island, went to college in upstate New York, and moved to Somerville for grad school before settling into my 9 – 5 in downtown Boston doing Data Analytics. I’ve been babysitting for nearly 10 years, caring for kids of all ages, from infants to teens, and have also spent the past 7 years tutoring math and science. I genuinely love working with children, whether that means helping with homework, getting active outdoors, or snuggling up for a movie. My friends describe me as fun, lively, patient, reliable, and outgoing. I played soccer in college and enjoy running, biking, and staying active, but I’m just as happy to get creative with crafts or work through a tough math problem. I once organized a full-day music video production of Katy Perry’s “Firework” with the kids that turned into a true masterpiece and a favorite memory. I’m adaptable and caring, always striving to bring positive energy and support to the families I work with. I look forward to helping your family however I can!

Abigail $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Abby and I offer child care and light household help in the Boston area. I have over 2 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, both individually and in groups. I’m kind, responsible, and always focused on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for the children I care for. I speak native Spanish and English, and I love engaging kids through songs, books, and play in both languages. I’m also happy to help with light cleaning, tidying up, and simple meal prep. Feel free to reach out with any questions — I’d love to support your family!

Alex $25 per hour for 1 child

Kids are fantastic to work with. They have fantastic imaginations and a beautiful enthusiasm for so many parts of life. I love having the chance to hear about their favorite cartoon, sing along to their favorite Disney songs, and see the amazing ideas they come up with. I'm happy to play with kids, but I also take it seriously when there are rules they need to follow. Eating healthy snacks. Brushing their teeth. Going to bed. Those rules may not be things kids always want to do, but don't worry. I'll follow your schedule to a T. After all, kids also need the structure (and clean teeth) that come with less-fun habits. I am also experienced and capable at providing support for seniors, pets, or with numerous household tasks. I follow schedules well, pay attention to my charge's needs, and keep an eye on all the important details in my work. For seniors that means listening and treating them with respect. For pets it's paying attention for any mischief while caring for them. And for household chores, I just take pride in making sure I leave my workplace properly cleaned and organized. Whatever it is you need, I'm glad to help!
