Booked by 35 families in Brookline, MA

I'm a young caring vibrant student going to school to become Doula then to eventually become a Nurse-Midwife. I love children I've always been reliable and independent when it comes to taking care of newborns up to teens. I also own a vehicle.

Nephtalia was absolutely fantastic with our 2 kids. She was not just kind and caring, but also proactive and thoughtful. She would plan activities for the entire day, checking in with us frequently about plans and new ideas to both entertain and educate the children. We were absolutely blown away with her work and positive attitude and would highly recommend her!

Booked by 8 families in Brookline, MA

I’m passionate about working with children and connect easily with kids of all ages. Fluent in English, Arabic, and French, I enjoy gardening, cooking, and outdoor activities, creating fun, enriching experiences for young ones.

Sahar was amazing with both my 2 month old and my 18 month old sons. I really appreciated how she was eager to help in any way she could and offered to help me sweep and cook dinner. She was incredible with my older son who is usually very clingy and only typically lets me take care of him when he’s sick. She was so creative with playing with him and both my kids and I loved really her friendly, sweet and positive personality

Hello families my name is Michelle I can describe myself as someone patient, honest, creative and very lovely. I started working as a nanny when I was in high school (2013) I have a lot of experience with kids 0-16 years old, I have experience working with multiple kids. At the moment I am a full time nanny of a happy toddler (I started with them when she was 5 months) I am looking for occasional/weekends/evening jobs. I like to prepare activities to engage with the kids accordingly to their age like crafts, painting, dancing, going for walks, visiting the playground, playing sports, board games, puzzles and painting last but not least I’m bilingual so if you want I would be more than happy to teach your kids some Spanish words!! I’m always on time and I work great following schedules/routines. I have an advanced child care training certificate conducted by American Red Cross I love animals so working around pets it’s not a problem at all. I have my own car and clean drive record. I am fully vaccinated and boosted. Thank you, I am looking forward to hearing from you.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
