Sophie Boston
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Sophie, and I'm a recent Williams College grad who just moved to the area! I have lots of experience babysitting -- I babysat all throughout college, with kids ages 9 months to 10 years old. I am also a tutor, and can help kids with school work in any subject area through 8th grade. I also have experience teaching kids how to ride a bike. I have a car in the area, so while I am located in Back Bay, I am happy to commute. I work full-time for MIT Hillel, so am looking for mornings/evenings and weekend jobs.

Eyvonne Boston
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Eyvonne,I have a strong background in early childhood education, with both formal qualifications and extensive hands-on experience. I hold certifications in childhood education and am EE certified, which means I have the necessary training and knowledge to provide high-quality early education. Additionally, I have an Associate’s degree in Psychology, which has given me a deep understanding of child development, behavior, and emotional well-being. My Master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA) has also provided me with valuable skills in organization, leadership, and management—essential for handling multiple responsibilities in a childcare setting.For over 10 years, I worked in daycares with children aged 4 months to 6 years, where I gained extensive experience in early childhood development. I also spent 10 years nannying and babysitting for families, giving me the opportunity to provide personalized, one-on-one care tailored to each child’s unique needs.

Caridad Boston
$27 per hour for 1 child

I have been working in childcare since 2017, primarily in center-based environments, where I have held lead teacher positions throughout my career. Working with children has always been something I'm deeply passionate about, and I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged children. In addition to my childcare background, I took some time to expand my professional experience by working as a retail technology manager on Newbury Street in Boston. That role strengthened my leadership, communication, organization, and problem- solving skills, all of which I bring into my work with children and families. After stepping away to enjoy maternity leave with my own baby, I am now looking for a wonderful family to support through babysitting or nannying. Ideally, I'm seeking a position that would allow me to bring my child along two days per week as part of the schedule. I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, engaging, and dependable environment for children, and I strive to build strong, trusting relationships with both kids and parents alike. I am caring, patient, reliable, and experienced, and I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and thrive. I am new to this app as of recently I have been on sitter city where I have a 5 star review. I haven't found a long term job so I have decided to move over to urban sitter for a try. Thanks for your time!

"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)."
