Hello! I’m Lucy and I am offering childcare and pet care. I studied Elementary Education at Boston College and am currently a lower school teacher at Hamlin in Pacific Heights.

Most of my time teaching and babysitting has been with children ages 4-12 but I am open to all ages. In the past my responsibilities have included helping with homework, cooking, doing bedtime routines and going on adventures together around the city! As for pet care, I love animals!

Xochitl $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m a caring and experienced nanny with over 18 years of working with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and I love creating a nurturing, engaging environment through reading, play, and outdoor activities. I’m patient, dependable, and truly enjoy supporting children’s growth and development in a safe and loving space. As a mom to a 10 month-old baby, I bring a fresh, attentive perspective to infant and child care. My baby may join me during care, which has been a wonderful way to encourage social interaction, empathy, and a family-like environment for little ones. I also have extensive experience tutoring students in all subjects from 1st through 12th grade. For the past five years, I worked at Lowell High School as a Paraeducator, supporting students with both physical and learning disabilities. This experience has given me a strong background in individualized academic support and helping students build confidence in their learning. I’m looking for a kind, flexible family who values a warm, home-style approach to childcare. I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
