"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."

Ky $20 per hour for 1 child
Hey my name is Ky and I am pursuing my bachelor’s degree. I have more than one year of experience in childcare. I have most of my experience with toddlers but I am open to all age groups. Right now I work as a behavioral technician for autistic children.
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.

Booked by 5 families in Wellesley Hills, MA
Hello! I am a student at Northeastern University here in Boston, but am originally from Southern California. I am currently studying Math and Data Science. I have been in childcare for over five years now, and have extensive experience with children of all ages. I have made long term connections with families in California, and am looking to make some here in Boston! My experience includes caring for multiple children, cooking, cleaning, bathing, taking to school/activities, and entertaining multiple children at once. I am mainly looking for nights and weekends as I am currently working a full-time internship. Looking forward to meeting you and your family!
Malika $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Malika, I am a Biology student at Northeastern University. I have been babysitting and looking after pets since I was 15/16.

Allie Klaire $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Wellesley Hills, MA
Hi! My name is Allie. I am originally from Texas, but have been in Boston since August 2023. I am going into my senior year of college at the New England Conservatory of Music where I study trombone performance. I am also an Aunt to 5 amazing nieces and nephews (currently ages 8 months to 12 years old) I love to be around kids of all ages and have taken pride in watching my niece and nephews grow up and being a part of their lives. As you might guess, I love music and would love to sing and play along with the kiddos! I also have ample experience with animals. I grew up with dogs around all of the time! I currently have 3 dogs of my own (that live back home with my parents), but have in the past owned and raised chickens, cows, turkeys, and pigs. I am comfortable around any animal and would absolutely love to help out with them.
