Hi- my name is Raianna I’m currently working in a daycare in Marblehead , working with toodlers at the moment. I have experienced taking care of infants toodlers and preschoolers. I really love and enjoy being a babysitter outside of my work hours, I enjoy being with the kiddos, spend time with them, show them new things, and most importantly making them feel safe. Im fluent both in English and Spanish and I’m currently taking Italian lessons. I’m originally from Dominican Republic but I moved to the states at a young age so I would be delighted to teach your kiddos Spanish! I love and also am comfortable with Dogs and Cats. :) Also feel free to see my website for more details![removed]
“Raianna was great! She was communicative and prompt and was great with our two toddlers. She gracefully handled dinner and bedtime routines for two kids who were not experienced with babysitters. We would recommend her!”
As a compassionate caregiver, I provide nurturing support and companionship to both children and seniors. With a genuine dedication to enhancing their well-being, I offer attentive care, fostering a safe and enriching environment tailored to their unique needs. From facilitating activities that promote growth and development to offering assistance with daily tasks, I prioritise comfort happiness and dignity of those under my care. I am a former Au Pair with lots of child care experience who also majored in Early childhood Development.
“Sophie was lovely and she also cleaned our kitchen while kids slept which was so amazing to come home to!”
Hello, my name is Deborah and I am a recent graduate of the University of Michigan, where I obtained my degree in Biomedical Engineering. I currently work as a Biotech Engineer, and will begin my Master's degree in Fall 2026. I have received my Basic First Aid Training and completed the Red Cross CPR certification course. I love showing my love to others through cooking meals and love to read in my free time. In caring for your child, I love to engage them through reading, educational games, puzzles and a lot of time outside. In past roles I've been responsible for meal prep, light housekeeping, school pickup/drop off and overnight care.
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!
