"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Camila $22 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Camila and I’m currently living in Framingham as an au pair. I offer childcare, senior care, and household support services. I truly enjoy working with children and have been babysitting since high school — including experience caring for twins. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups and drop-offs, arts and crafts, tutoring, meal prep, bath and bedtime routines, and children’s laundry. I love creating a calm, fun, and safe environment where kids feel supported and engaged. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, organizing, and running errands. I also have experience in senior care. I was a caregiver for my own grandmother and I am confident supporting daily routines such as meal preparation, transportation to medical appointments, companionship, and household tasks. I am comfortable working in homes with cats and dogs. 🔹 Availability: Weekends 🔹 Languages: Fluent in English and Spanish (happy to support bilingual learning!) I look forward to connecting with a family who values kindness, reliability, and open communication!

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!
