Booked by 6 families in Brookline, MA

Hi! My name is Elonga, I’m 22 years old and a recent graduate from Xavier University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. I have over 8 years of childcare experience and have worked with children ranging from newborns to 12 years old. I began babysitting at age 13, caring for my younger siblings and cousins, and later gained professional experience as an au pair for two years, where I cared for a 5-month-old infant and a 5-year-old. I am the oldest of five siblings, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple children at once and creating a structured, safe, and engaging environment. I am patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy supporting children’s growth and development. I am fluent in French and Swahili, and I also speak conversational Spanish, which can be a great bonus for multilingual households. I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and maintaining routines. I am a non-smoker, fully vaccinated (including booster), and prioritize safety and communication with parents at all times. Please note: I do not drive at the moment and am not comfortable handling pet snakes. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide reliable, nurturing care for your children!

Elonga was fantastic! Our daughter had fun actively playing, doing arts, and listening to music. Look forward to the next play date!

Hi, I’m Ayanna! I’m a caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children and pets. I’ve had the privilege of supporting families by caring for children ranging in age from newborns to teenagers (up to age 14), adapting my approach to meet each child’s unique developmental needs. My background includes everything from infant care and sleep routines to homework help, creative play, and emotional support. I have a bachelor's in Psychology and I’m currently pursuing a Master's in education. I am also trained and certified by the American Red Cross in CPR, First Aid, and Advanced Child Care—ensuring that safety and preparedness are always a priority in my care. In addition to working with children, I have extensive experience caring for pets, including dogs, cats, and other small animals. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I bring the same level of attentiveness and warmth to animal care as I do to childcare. Above all, I believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can thrive and families feel supported.

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

"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)."
