Nissa Cambridge
$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

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!

Booked by 5 families in Charlestown, MA

Hello. My name is Tatiana. I'm looking for a babysitting job. I'm very positive, kind, thoughtful and hard working person. I'm originally from Russia and speak Russian as well as English. I have a good sense of humor, engaging personality and genuine love of children. Lots of experience with children. In a past I took care of two beautiful boys at the age of 3 and 5 years old. I was living in nanny and was helping with laundry, cleaning and feeding the kids. I have been also taking care of my friends children of different ages and can provide with references upon request at any time. I was taking care of two beautiful twins for over a two years since they were 5 months old. So have lots of experience with infant children as well. I think I would be a great fit for your children and I am sure it would be great experience for everyone. I am looking forward to start a journey with your family and become a part of it!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
