Booked by 1 family in Newtonville, MA

With over ten years of experience in child caregiving, I have developed a deep passion for supporting and nurturing children. Starting as a babysitter at the age of 12, I have worked with kids ranging from 9 months to 17 years old. My experience includes tutoring dyslexic students, working at a summer camp, and providing care for children with special needs. Currently, I serve as a behavioral therapist for autistic children, where I apply tailored strategies to support their growth and development. I am dedicated to creating positive, enriching experiences for every child I work with.

Kevin 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

I have 4 years of experience working with young children as an Associate Preschool Teacher. I’m patient, dependable, caring, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun. I’m comfortable creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment while also being responsive to each child’s individual needs.

“Kevin has been a wonderful babysitter for our family. I have both a 5 year old and a 2 year old. He’s extremely professional, always on time, has a ton of experience and the kids just love to play and read with him. Dinner bath and bedtime aren’t easy and Kevin always has done a great job staying on schedule and successfully following the routine.”

Adelaide $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Adelaide, a senior majoring in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Belmont University. Originally from Quincy, IL, I grew up as the oldest of four sisters, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. Alongside babysitting for other families, I’ve developed a strong background in childcare and responsibility from a young age. In addition to my family experience, I worked as a caregiver for two years during my sophomore and junior years, gaining hands-on experience caring for individuals across a wide age range. This work has deepened my understanding and appreciation of compassionate, attentive care for people of all backgrounds and needs.

Alyssa $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Alyssa, I have had the pleasure of working with children for over a decade now, since 2010. In my professional journey, I have served as an assistant director and currently hold the position of a lead teacher in a PreK classroom. I take pride in my qualifications, as I am Director certified, CPR/First Aid certified, and have a strong background in Reggio Curriculum. I have had the opportunity to work closely with numerous families, including one that I have been with for the past 10 years, initially meeting through care. com. I am seeking an afterschool babysitting position where I can continue to engage with children outside of the traditional classroom setting. Im interested in taking children to and from afterschool activities, planning exciting outdoor adventures, and providing homework assistance and support with any other afterschool tasks. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you would like more info or if you are interested in discussing potential opportunities.
