"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."

Noor $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi there! My name is Noor, and I’d love the opportunity to help care for your little ones! I have experience babysitting children of different ages, along with 2 years of experience as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). My experience as an RBT has given me lots of experience working with children, understanding their individual needs, and creating a fun and supportive environment for them. I’m CPR certified and always make safety a top priority. I love keeping kids engaged through play, activities, and simply making sure they have a fun time while they’re in my care. I’m patient, caring, and dependable, and I want both you and your children to feel comfortable and happy while you’re away!

Booked by 3 families in West Groton, MA
Hi there! My name is Grace, and I specialize in infant care, though I truly enjoy working with children at every stage of development. I’m attentive to the unique needs of babies, children, and their families, and I prioritize building strong relationships through open, honest communication. I create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore and grow. I’m also happy to assist with errands, light meal prep, house-sitting, and caring for pets and plants. I take pride in being reliable, warm, and supportive, and I value becoming a trusted, consistent presence in a family’s daily routine. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family!
“I can’t recommend Grace enough! She was our nanny for my daughter and another child for 3 years. She kept the kids busy with walks, activities and outings by car or public transit. My daughter still talks about her days with Grace fondly! From infancy through toddlerhood, Grace was a joy to have in our home, cherished our kids as if they were her own, and truly enjoyed her time with them. Any family will be lucky to have Grace!”
