Samantha $20 per hour for 1 child

During the day, I am a senior in high school, and I am planning to attend college in the upcoming year. After school, I work at an aftercare at an elementary school four days a week, and have been working there for almost two years. Mainly, I work with kindergarten, but can range from K-5. I am also working at camp this summer. I love working with kids and doing crafts! I have my license, so I can able to drive around, at parents request/permission! I also love cats and fish, so I am able to care for both! More over, I can help kids with their math homework. I also have to be flexible with my schedule for school and work, so reach out to me about those kind of questions as well.

Kit $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Kit, a proud mom of two wonderful sons, and I'm passionate about providing reliable, caring support for families in Needham and surrounding areas. I offer flexible child care, senior care, and household services. I especially love working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age kids—they're such amazing little people full of energy and curiosity! With my own experience raising children, I'm comfortable handling everything from gentle newborn routines to fun, engaging activities with older kids. I can drive to/from school or activities, help with after-school homework or tutoring, lead creative crafts, troubleshoot tech issues (like devices or software), and even offer beginner Chinese lessons to spark interest in language and culture. As a household assistant, I'm happy to cook nutritious meals, keep things tidy with light cleaning, run errands, or organize as needed. I've also been a dedicated caregiver for my own mother, so I'm experienced and compassionate with senior care—whether it's preparing meals, providing companionship, driving to appointments, or assisting with daily tasks. I'm comfortable in homes with dogs, cats, or other common pets (no snakes, please!). I'm reliable, patient, and love building trusting relationships with families. I'd be thrilled to help make your life easier—feel free to message me with any questions about availability or how I can support your family!

Booked by 8 families in Walpole, MA

Hi families! My name is Astrid. I began my childcare journey at just 19 years old. I helped out as an assistant teacher in my mother Montessori daycare for 5 years. I then went on to be a career nanny with a 4 year gap starting in 2020 due to the pandemic. In my years of being a nanny, I have taken several college courses in child psychology and development. My approach to child care is heavily influenced by the Montessori philosophy, letting the child’s mind guide me into caring for them. I have extensive experience with children from 3 months old to 6 years old. I am passionate about what I do and would love an opportunity to prove it to you.

“Astrid was great with my son. He was comfortable with her right away. She took him to the park and got him to bed without a problem. ”
