Sophie Boston
$20 per hour for 1 child

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.

Julissa Cambridge
$28 per hour for 1 child

I was raised with significant caregiving responsibilities from a young age, which shaped my patience, resilience, and sense of responsibility. I naturally stepped into a caregiver role for my younger siblings, supporting their daily routines, school needs, and emotional well-being during a challenging family period. These experiences taught me empathy, structure, and how to remain calm and reliable in any situation. As a caregiver, I bring strong organization, warmth, and attentiveness. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and structured environment where children feel supported and encouraged. I am dependable, adaptable, and genuinely committed to helping children thrive while supporting families in their daily routines.

Additionally, I have an Associate’s degree in Psychology, which has given me a deep understanding of child development, behavior, and emotional well-being. My Master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA) has also provided me with valuable skills in organization, leadership, and management—essential for handling multiple responsibilities in a childcare setting.For over 10 years, I worked in daycares with children aged 4 months to 6 years, where I gained extensive experience in early childhood development.

"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
