Aisha $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Aisha — a college student, experienced EMT, and lifelong big sister who truly loves working with kids! I’ve cared for children in school settings, at home, and in my community, and I bring lots of positive energy, patience, and creativity to every babysitting job. Along with keeping kids engaged and happy, I prioritize safety above all else, my EMT background means I’m trained to stay calm, attentive, and prepared in any situation. If you’re looking for a sitter who’s fun, reliable, and deeply safety-focused, I’d love to support your family!

My name is Grace W and I am a 21 year old recent graduate of Indiana University, where I received a degree in Speech, Language, and Hearing sciences! I have 10 years of nannying experience and ensure a safe and fun environment for all the kiddos I watch! I love to integrate learning experiences into the games we play and advocate for as much physical activity as we can get! With previous families I have worked with I have been responsible for preparing snacks, dinners, and helping out with household chores like laundry and sweeping! I will be working at Tufts Medical Center for the year while applying to graduate programs! I am looking for a family that needs an occasional date night sitter and extra help during the week after I get off work!

Sophie $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.

"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)."
