sahhi $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Boston, MA

Hello families! 🤗 I'm Sahhi , a 23-year-old I'm so excited to introduce myself as I look for a wonderful full-time nanny position, though I'm also open to part-time opportunities. I was born and raised right here in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and I've just recently graduated from college. I'm a responsible and reliable individual, holding a driver's license and committed to ensuring I can always get to work. My experience with children is quite extensive. I've had the pleasure of working in a daycare setting with children ranging from infants to toddlers, giving me a solid foundation in early childhood care. Beyond that, I've had incredibly rewarding experiences working with children of various ages and needs. I had the privilege of caring for a wonderful 9-year-old boy on the autism spectrum who was non-verbal. I've also cared for two young boys, aged three and nine, and I've found that I have a natural ability to connect with and manage children across a wide age range. My patience is one of my greatest strengths, and I truly believe in creating a nurturing and engaging environment for every child. I genuinely love working with children. They bring so much joy and happiness into life. I know that caring for kids is something I deeply enjoy and excel at. I'm eager to bring my energy, patience, and dedication to a family that's looking for a caring and capable nanny. Hope to hear from you soon!💕

⸻ 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.

Booked by 2 families in Boston, MA

I am 26 years old and am living in Cambridge. I have always helped out my mom take care of my younger brother (8 years old) since he was a baby. I babysit regularly for 5 different families ages ranging from (1-8 years old old) and have taken care of more than 1 child at a time. I worked part time at the Library in the children's room for more than 4 years. I currently work as a donor management coordinator for a non profit. Currently looking for a part time/full time job to help save up for school. I cannot drive but am comfortable using public transportation.

She was clear in communication and engaged well with my 3-year old, meeting him at his interests and getting him off the couch and playing even though he was sick. She was a great sitter!

"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

"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)."
