Tatiana $25 per hour for 1 child
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!

Janati $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver with a strong background in supporting children, seniors, and households. My experience has given me the ability to adapt to a variety of needs while creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. Families describe me as reliable, attentive, and genuinely invested in the well-being of those I care for. When working with children, I bring energy, creativity, and patience to every interaction. I enjoy helping with homework, organizing engaging activities, encouraging healthy routines, and fostering curiosity through play and learning. I value structure and consistency while also being flexible and fun. In adult and senior care, I provide both practical and emotional support. This includes companionship, assistance with daily routines, mobility support, light meal preparation, and ensuring comfort and dignity. I am attentive to details and skilled at creating calm, supportive environments that help individuals feel respected and cared for. I am also comfortable caring for pets and maintaining household organization. Whether it’s helping with errands, tidying up, preparing meals, or keeping schedules organized, I approach each task with responsibility and a positive attitude. Above all, I am dedicated to treating each child, adult, and pet with kindness, respect, and understanding. Caregiving is more than a responsibility for me; it’s a passion and an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

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.

"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)."
