Booked by 4 families in Allston, MA

I’m 26, from Northern California, and recently left my law office job to focus more on school. I love reading and have always been drawn to good stories, honest conversations, and anything that makes me laugh. I’d describe myself as thoughtful, hardworking, and a little sarcastic in the best way. Right now, I’m focused on classes, personal growth, and figuring out what comes next.

Lily $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Lily. I am 23 years old and I recently graduated in 2025 from Boston University Wheelock College with an undergraduate degree in Education and Human Development with a concentration in Child and Adolescent Mental Health. I have been working since September 2025 as a 1st grade general classroom Paraprofessional in a Brookline Public School. I love my job and work with lots of different kids with many different needs! I have lots of experience working with students with mild to moderate Autism and hope to obtain my masters in Special Education this coming fall. I have been babysitting and nannying since I was 13 years old and have experience ranging from toddlers to preteens. I am happy to incorporate learning into my time with your child and can plan fun activities, or take them to the park to play, whatever your goal is! I am happy to do light household chores and cook for your child. I am open to anything from occasional babysitting to a full-time nanny position from now until school begins in September. Looking forward to speaking to you:)

Tiara $25 per hour for 1 child

⸻ Hi! My name is Tiara, and I’m offering child care, senior care, and household support services. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 and have experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children—including twins. My responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, arts and crafts, tutoring, meal preparation, and even helping with dance lessons. In addition to childcare, I work as a household assistant and am happy to help with cooking, cleaning, organizing, and running errands. I also have hands-on experience caring for my own grandparents and am comfortable assisting with senior care needs such as meal preparation, transportation to appointments, and companionship.

Athena $20 per hour for 1 child

I bring a unique combination of nurturing experience and practical skills that make me a reliable, compassionate caregiver across multiple areas—whether caring for children, homes, or pets. As a mother, I understand the profound responsibility of caring for those who depend on us. I’ve worked as a babysitter, tutor, teacher, and mentor, giving me deep insight into child development, education, and creating safe, engaging environments where young people thrive. I’m patient and creative, skilled at adapting to different learning styles and personality types. My background in the healing arts—including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, yoga, and coaching—has taught me to approach caregiving holistically. I’m attuned to both physical and emotional wellbeing, and I bring a calming, grounded presence to any situation. These skills make me especially effective at supporting wellness, managing stress, and creating peaceful environments. When it comes to household management, I have over 20 years of experience caring for properties, including 14 years as a homeowner and ongoing management of my parents’ homes. I’m detail-oriented and take genuine pride in maintaining spaces that are clean, organized, and welcoming. I’m also trained in energetic space clearing—a practice I’ve been developing for eight years—and I’m excited to bring this much-needed skill to house sitting. My excellent reviews as an Airbnb guest reflect my respect for others’ homes and my understanding of what makes a space feel truly cared for. While I’ve never owned a dog myself, I’ve always loved them and have regularly pet-sat and walked dogs for friends over the years. I’m comfortable with their needs, routines, and quirks, and I genuinely enjoy their company. What sets me apart is my mission-oriented approach: I don’t just complete tasks—I care about the people, animals, and spaces entrusted to me. I’m flexible and adapt easily to changing needs. I’m also an excellent communicator, keeping families informed and ensuring everyone feels heard. Above all, I’m compassionate and caring. Whether I’m supporting a family, maintaining a home, or walking a beloved pet, my role is to bring peace of mind, reliability, and genuine warmth to every interaction.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
