Booked by 1 family in East Boston, MA

Hello! My name is Madeleine and I am a nurse in Boston! Working 3 shifts a week allows me to have time to do other things such as babysit. I love kids and started being a mothers helper at age 10. I have continued to babysit through high school and college. I also volunteered as a NICU cuddler in the hospital during nursing school so I have experience with newborns as well. I have always loved children and was a camp nursing assistant for two years which gave me a lot of pediatric experience as well. Hope to hear from you and be able to help out your family!

Madeleine is such a great babysitter! She took excellent care of our son and was responsible, punctual, and kind. We look forward to working with her again!

Hi, I’m Ayanna! I’m a caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children and pets. I’ve had the privilege of supporting families by caring for children ranging in age from newborns to teenagers (up to age 14), adapting my approach to meet each child’s unique developmental needs. My background includes everything from infant care and sleep routines to homework help, creative play, and emotional support. I have a bachelor's in Psychology and I’m currently pursuing a Master's in education. I am also trained and certified by the American Red Cross in CPR, First Aid, and Advanced Child Care—ensuring that safety and preparedness are always a priority in my care. In addition to working with children, I have extensive experience caring for pets, including dogs, cats, and other small animals. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I bring the same level of attentiveness and warmth to animal care as I do to childcare. Above all, I believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can thrive and families feel supported.

Hey, It’s Eda! Since childhood, I’ve had a natural connection with children and truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m a patient, energetic, and responsible caregiver who values creating a safe, joyful, and creative environment. I have a background in child nutrition and a special interest in eating disorders, aiming to support healthy habits from an early age. I love incorporating activities like painting, street photography, playying tennis, nature walks, and morning runs into children’s daily routines to keep them engaged and active. I’m currently completing my third summer in the U.S. as a J1 student and living in downtown Chicago to experience city life. I’ve previously worked with a wonderful family of three children here in Chicago and would be happy to provide them as a reference. I’m excited to bring my positive energy, creativity, and caregiving experience into a new family’s life. Thank you,

We couldn’t be happier with the care provided! is responsible, kind, and truly attentive to children’s needs. She arrived on time, communicates clearly, and creates a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. My child felt comfortable and happy in her care, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring babysitter!

Hello! My name is Anvi and I am a third year student at Northeastern University. I am from New Jersey and have been a babysitter for the past 6 years. I love to spend time kids doing any indoor and outdoor activities :) I also have my own transportation if needed!

Anvi was great with my goddaughter. She kept her entertained and Jayla was already asking for her to babysit for her again before the night was over.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
