Hi =) My name is Keaisha or as many of the children/families I’ve cared for call me Kia =) I'm a former certified primary toddler/preschool teacher at Bright Horizons at Biogen. I am currently a Special Education English Paraprofessional at Excel High teaching grades 9, 11, and 12 in the Special Education department. I am also a college graduate from UMass Boston with a bachelors in psychology. graduated previously from Bunker Hill Community College with 2 degrees; one is a certificate in Early Childhood Development/Education and the other is an Associate in Liberal Arts. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I am also EEC Certified to teach infant, toddler and Preschool students as well as have 2 years experience teaching K-Prep (previously known as Pre-K) students. I started teaching in 2009 when I was still in high school teaching Pre-K kids so i have plenty of experience around that age group. I also have experience with preemies, have the knowledge and experience implementing Infant/toddler/preschool curriculum that support the child’s cognitive, social/emotional, language, fine and gross motor skill development. I have 2 dogs and a cat so I love animals! Proud fur mama! I have plenty of recommendation letters from other parents and families that I have helped raise from 8 week old infants to preschool and have taught their children available upon request. I love caregiving because I love helping and providing mommies and daddies with a sense of relief while also helping them engage and advance their children’s development while they grow.

Rashema $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Rashema and I’m currently working in healthcare in a patient care setting. I am offering childcare, and household services. I love working with children and have been working with them (infants, toddlers and teenagers) since I was 14 years old, in both professional and personal settings. My responsibilities have included at home babysitting, helping with homework, etc. I’ve worked at a daycare, briefly worked as an Registered Behavioral Technician where I worked 1 on 1 with a child with autism, and I have worked in patient with teenage girls who struggle with eating disorders. I am not allergic to any pets so I am open and able to work with families with pets! (I had 2 pairs of birds as pets when I was younger).

Hi there! I'm Allie, and I'm a Boston-based college professor and professional actor. I’m currently on summer break and available for short-term childcare opportunities! A bit about me—I moved to Boston to pursue my MFA in Theatre Education at Emerson College, but before that I lived in New York City, where I worked as a full-time nanny (and professional actor!). I have over ten years of childcare and children's education experience, and I'd love to meet you and your family. As a babysitter, I understand that every child and family is unique. I specialize in working with school-age children, children with severe allergies, children of LGBTQ+ families, high net worth families, and children with extra support needs (Prader-Willi syndrome, autism, ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety disorder, mood regulation disorder). I work carefully with parents to create a customized care plan to help their children thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. And as a professional actor, I also love to have fun and encourage imaginative play! My full resume and references are available upon request. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

“Ali is great and so creative — our girls had the best time. ”

Booked by 7 families in Quincy, MA

Hello! My name is Joanna. I am originally from Cape Cod and am currently live in the Boston. I hold a Master’s degree in Community Development and Planning (specializing in Youth Development) from Clark University. While I currently work in clean energy, I have over a decade of hands-on experience in education and childcare. Throughout my career, I’ve cared for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. My background includes serving as a Youth Counselor at the Worcester Boys & Girls Club, tutoring for a college success program, and providing long-term babysitting and nanny-share support for families across Boston and Worcester. Previously, I served as a mother’s helper for a family with a 1-year-old and a 4-year-old. In that role, I managed morning routines, school drop-offs, tidying, outings to local parks, and occasional date-night care. Coming from a large family with many nieces and nephews, childcare has always been a natural part of my life. I love creating engaging, creative environments where children can explore, learn, and grow. I view caregiving as a mutual exchange where kids learn from me, and I learn just as much from them!

“Joanna is the most caring, calm, wonderful person. Our children love her (and so do we), and run to her each time she arrives because she is such a joy. She's reliable, punctual, responsible, and has a wonderful way with children. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
