Heidi Maria $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Brookline, MA

I’ve been working with kids in all kinds of settings for years, and caring for others has always come naturally to me. I started babysitting at 15, and soon after spent a full year helping out at a daycare with children ranging from 9 months to 8 years old. Since then, I’ve continued to grow my experience in different environments. As well as being the oldest child in my family. For the past five summers, I’ve been a sleep away camp counselor, teaching kids how to sailing and living with kids ages 6 to 14 for up to eight weeks at a time. I’ve also volunteered with preschoolers through Jumpstart for a year, supporting early learning and social development. Right now, I’m a college student doing work‑study at an elementary school, where I assist in both kindergarten and 2nd grade classrooms. These experiences have taught me patience, creativity, responsibility, and how to connect with kids of all ages. Families and employers describe me as dependable, upbeat, and calm under pressure. I’m great with routines, homework help, playtime, and keeping kids engaged. I’m also comfortable with pets and happy to help with light household tasks. And most importantly, I genuinely love what I do. Kids can tell when someone enjoys being around them, and I think that’s what makes the biggest difference.

Nissa $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nissa, and I was born and raised in Cambridge on Garden Street. I come from a big, loving family of ten children—six of whom are adopted from all over the world—which means I grew up surrounded by lots of personalities, laughter, and life lessons! Although I don’t have children of my own, I’ve helped raise my 13 nephews and 3 nieces, and caring for kids has always come naturally to me. After spending over 25 years in New York, I’m so happy to be returning to my beloved hometown of Cambridge. For the past few years, I’ve worked in the hospitality industry as a Front Desk Concierge at an Inn in the Hamptons, where I’ve honed my skills in warmth, patience, and organization. I also ran the gymnastics program at a local summer camp for two seasons and have nannied for a few wonderful families whose children will always have a special place in my heart. While I explore my next chapter in hospitality, I’d love to spend time doing something that brings me joy—being around kids and sharing in their playful, imaginative world. I’m responsible, caring, and creative, with flexible hours and a reliable car. I’d love the chance to meet your family! Warmly, Nissa

"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)."
