Alicia $19 per hour for 1 child

I am a caring, dependable, and energetic single mom and grandmother with a lifelong passion for helping others. I raised three children—now adults—and I’m a proud grandmother to an almost‑three‑year‑old grandson who keeps me laughing and on my toes every other weekend. Now that my own children are grown, I find myself missing the chaos that comes with caring for little ones and would love to support families who could use an extra, trusted set of hands. I have extensive hands‑on experience which includes my own children with food allergies and ADHD. Safety, structure, and compassion are always my top priorities. I’m a “hands‑on” caregiver who truly enjoys getting down on the floor to play, read, laugh, and keep kids engaged. Having raised children involved in multiple sports and activities, I understand busy schedules, routines, and the importance of consistency in daily life. In addition to child care, I have a deep respect and sensitivity for senior care. I have helped care for my father in his later years and continue to assist my mother, giving me valuable experience with companionship, errands, shopping, and attentiveness to daily needs. I believe meaningful conversation, patience, and dignity make all the difference. I’m also an animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats. I currently have my own dog, Black Lab Mix named Luna and grew up surrounded by cats, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and general pet care. Previously, I was a Girl Scout Leader for an 8th–12th grade troop, which strengthened my leadership, organizational, and mentoring skills. Professionally, I work full‑time at a local company where I’ve been happily employed for over 30 years. I love my job and am seeking opportunities to help families, seniors, and pet owners on evenings or weekends while earning a little extra income—without ever compromising my current job. If you’re looking for someone nurturing, experienced, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in the well‑being of your loved ones, I would be honored to help.

Hi - My name is Margaret. I'm a paraprofessional in an integrated (special needs and traditional education) preschool classroom at Placentino Elementary in Holliston. I’m looking for additional hours working with children and families after school, on school holidays, and weekends. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household services. I live in Holliston with two of my own and two step children in their teenage and young adult years, and two dogs. I had cats for two decades prior to 2020. I’ve been an active member of the PTA for many of my children’s school years, have experience in ABA and working with neurodiverse children and adults with traits or official diagnosis of ADHD. autism, and dyslexia. I am also a certified yoga instructor working towards an additional yoga certification for neurodiverse children and adults. I love working with children, and have been a nanny, babysitter, or mother since I was a young teenager myself. I look forward to meeting you!

Amelia $15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Milford, MA

Hi! I’m Amelia, I am currently a college student studying psychology and an associate teacher in an early childhood care center. I’ve spent years working with children of all ages; infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school‑age kids, through babysitting, teaching, youth leadership, and community programs. I love getting to know each child’s personality and creating an environment where they feel comfortable, supported, and excited to be themselves. With infants and toddlers, I’m confident with feeding, diapering, soothing, nap routines, sensory play, and early developmental milestones. I’m calm, patient, and very comfortable reading cues and creating a predictable, nurturing space. With older kids, I enjoy homework help, creative projects, outdoor time, structured activities, and supporting emotional regulation and independence. I adapt easily to shy, energetic, sensitive, or spirited kids and meet them exactly where they are. I’m passionate about helping children explore the world around them. Whether that’s going outside, doing hands‑on activities, or finding small everyday moments that spark curiosity and joy. Families describe me as warm, reliable, organized, and easy to communicate with. I value building strong relationships with parents and keeping communication clear and consistent. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, don’t smoke, and happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and maintaining routines. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and grow confidently. Please be sure of your hours before booking. You are responsible for the full hours listed, even if you arrive home early. I’m more than happy to extend hours as long as there is clear communication ahead of time. This helps me plan my schedule and ensures I can give your family the best care possible.
