Katrina 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Katrina, and I recently relocated to Boston. I have a professional background as a Direct Support Professional (DSP), where I supported individuals with diverse needs, including developmental and behavioral challenges. Through this work, I developed strong skills in patience, communication, safety awareness, and creating structured, nurturing environments. I am CPR certified and prioritize safety while still making sure children feel comfortable, engaged, and heard. I believe in being attentive, calm, and proactive — whether that means helping with routines, homework, meal prep, or simply being a steady and positive presence. Families can count on me to be reliable, organized, and respectful of household expectations. I genuinely enjoy supporting children’s growth and independence while making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m currently available for short-term, evening, and weekend care, and I look forward to connecting. $23-$27per hr

“Very pleasant human being, goes above and beyond for you and doesn't miss a day of needing to help you! She’s very patient and understanding, flexible with dates/times. If you need someone to baby sit / nanny she is the one to go to, always reliable ❤️”

Ava $22 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated college student and Certified Nursing Assistant with hands-on experience in healthcare, customer service, and childcare. I currently work in an assisted living facility, where I provide direct patient care, assist residents with daily living activities, perform basic wound care, and respond effectively in fast-paced situations as part of a healthcare team. I also have several years of self-employed childcare experience, which strengthened my patience, decision-making, communication, and leadership skills. Additionally, my experience as a retail Guest Advocate helped me develop strong customer service abilities, cash handling skills, organization, and attention to detail. I am actively involved in community service, including volunteering with Partners for World Health, which has reinforced my commitment to helping others. Through my education, certifications, and work experiences, I have become dependable, motivated, and eager to continue learning, growing, and contributing meaningfully within the healthcare field in supportive, compassionate, and collaborative care environments.

Allie $24 per hour for 1 child

Hiii loves, I am Alexandra. I go by Allie. I am a student in college majoring in nursing, I’m in my second year. I’ve been babysitting family & friends for 8-10 years up until I had my personal experience, I am a mother of one of a 2 year old toddler myself so your child is more than safe with me, nothing better than having motherly instincts. I don’t mind meeting me before I meet the kids. Whatever makes the parents comfortable, I am 100% okay with 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."

"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)."
