Makaya Boston
$21 per hour for 1 child

I have experience caring for both seniors and children, from 60-year-olds to infants as young as 2 months. As the oldest of six, I’m patient, reliable, and nurturing. I’ve worked in a daycare, been a nanny for two years, and I’m comfortable helping with routines, meals, light housekeeping, and keeping both kids and older adults safe, comfortable, and supported.

Faith Boston
$23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a Northeastern University student with several years of childcare experience from working in a daycare and babysitting for families. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, helping with routines, playtime, and early learning like ABCs and basic skills. I’m very patient, reliable, and love creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for kids. I’m also comfortable helping with homework, meals, and bedtime routines. I have CPR and first aid knowledge (currently renewing certification), and I take safety very seriously. I’m available for occasional, part-time, or consistent weekly care and would love to support your family!

"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)."
