Dylan $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi caregivers! My name is Dylan, and I’m currently looking for one-time jobs since I’m currently in graduate school! I am currently pursuing my Masters in Speech Language Pathology at Emerson College. I previously attended the University of Connecticut where I studied Communication Sciences and American Sign Language. My experience working with children started in 2022. In the summer of 2022, my first job was at a summer camp for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children. It was an overnight camp where I also taught archery. Following that experience, I decided to pursue more experiences in childcare and was hired at an early care and education center that I worked at part time while at UConn. During winter and summer breaks I often babysat and dogsat for many families. I also have experience working at a children’s fitness club within the gym I used to go to in my hometown. My most recent experiences have been working with children 3-17 years old as a Teacher of the Deaf during the 2[removed] school year. So far, as a graduate student clinician I’ve worked with infants, toddlers and school-age children. I do not have much experience with seniors, however, my first job was working as a waiter at a retirement home!

Booked by 4 families in Milton, MA

Looking for someone to fill in those last minute days or nights? Having a hard time finding a long term nanny but need someone else during the search? I’m available! I am a Freelance Film Production Coordinator looking for some part time work. I am the oldest of 7 children and have always been around kids. I worked at a daycare throughout high school and college, and then was a nanny for several years. Currently, I help to take care of my nieces and nephews (aged 3months - 5years) as needed. I am very comfortable and confident with all ages. First Aid and CPR Certified. References available.

“Kayla was great with both kids. My 4 year old loved talking with her and she had my 2 year old smiling and giggling. We will definitely have her back!”

Lilah $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lilah and I am a freshman at Berklee College of Music with a lot of free time that I would love to spend getting to know my community. I have been babysitting kids ranging from ages 3-15 for 2 and a half years along with my two younger sisters who are now 12 and 15. I love spending time with kids singing karaoke, making fun snacks, doing arts and crafts, and playing games (my personal favorite is uno). I also would be more than willing to help out around the house whether that’s cleaning, running errands, or cooking delicious and nutritious meals!

Emma $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Milton, 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.

Katie $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a registered nurse with a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and years of experience caring for children and families. In addition to my nursing background, I have several years of babysitting experience with multiple families, caring for children of different ages and personalities. I’m CPR certified and am responsible, patient, attentive, dependable, and calm in unexpected situations. My nursing experience has taught me to pay close attention to detail and prioritize safety while still making sure kids have fun and feel comfortable. I’m happy to help with meals, homework, bedtime routines, activities, errands, and light household tasks. I’m warm, energetic, trustworthy, and easygoing, and I genuinely love spending time with kids. I’m also a huge animal lover and am comfortable caring for pets, including feeding, walks, and general care. Overall, I’m someone families can feel comfortable trusting in their home, and I always strive to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own family.
