Booked by 3 families in Allston, MA

Hi everyone! My name is Dalya. I’m a part-time nursing student, licensed EMT, and BLS/CPR-certified caregiver with over three years of childcare experience, including caring for infants and young children. My emergency medical training has prepared me to recognize when something is wrong and respond appropriately in situations such as choking, allergic reactions, falls, or other injuries children are susceptible to. Beyond safety, I’m patient, nurturing, reliable, and genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections with children. I’m comfortable managing feeding, naps, playtime, bedtime routines, meal preparation, and homework. I also have experience tutoring and mentoring students with academics, organization, and college readiness. I enjoy creating activities that are both fun and developmentally appropriate while respecting each family’s routines and parenting preferences. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, organization, and pet care when needed.

“Dalya worked for our family for over a year and was great with my kids. She helped with meals, school work, activities, bath time and daily routines. One of my children has a disability and takes medication Dalya always followed the instructions carefully and made sure it was given on time. She is very patient dependable and the kids really trust her. She is also an EMT which gave us a lot of peace of mind especially with our youngest. I would highly recommend her to any family.”

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Monica I love children, I have experience with infants, toddlers, kindergarten, primary and special education, I love children of all ages and I like to do activities with them like reading, painting,craft, play game, help with homework and teach .

“Monica currently babysits my 8mo daughter 5 days a week while I am at work. When she initially arrived for the in-person interview, I could tell she had not only great experience with kids but is also very empathetic and safety-conscious, which are two very important traits I believe for a person taking care of an infant. She lets me know if she has any concerns and updates me about anything “new” in regards to my daughter . She is also very punctual and dependable; she is very interactive, engaging my daughter with toys, books, music, and conversation. I feel confident when I leave the house in the morning, knowing my daughter is in caring in capable hands. I am so grateful to have found her on Urban Sitters !”

Hi, I’m Ayanna! I’m a caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children and pets. I’ve had the privilege of supporting families by caring for children ranging in age from newborns to teenagers (up to age 14), adapting my approach to meet each child’s unique developmental needs. My background includes everything from infant care and sleep routines to homework help, creative play, and emotional support. I have a bachelor's in Psychology and I’m currently pursuing a Master's in education. I am also trained and certified by the American Red Cross in CPR, First Aid, and Advanced Child Care—ensuring that safety and preparedness are always a priority in my care. In addition to working with children, I have extensive experience caring for pets, including dogs, cats, and other small animals. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I bring the same level of attentiveness and warmth to animal care as I do to childcare. Above all, I believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can thrive and families feel supported.

"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)."
