Dannah $17 per hour for 1 child

I am 37 years old, I majored in english and literature so I love writing and reading and I will definitely read to kids. I am quiet, friendly and very understanding. I am helpful and will take my time with kids to give them the best care ever. I have no kids of my own, but I've babysat my younger siblings, nieces, nephews and of course other kids. I love to babysit because it is so beautiful to see the different personalities of such little beings, I love the different ways babies communicate when they can't even talk yet because it shows how intelligent children are even at such tender ages. I love teaching them and I just love taking care of them... Thanks for considering my profile, Dannah. Bless

Booked by 2 families in East Boston, MA

I am 27 years old and am living in Cambridge. I have always helped out my mom take care of my younger brother (8 years old) since he was a baby. I have over 10 years of experience taking care of children ages ranging from (1-8 years old) and have taken care of more than 1 child at a time. I worked part-time at the Library in the children's room for more than 4 years. I currently work parttime as a donor management coordinator for a nonprofit. I cannot drive but am comfortable using public transportation.

“She was clear in communication and engaged well with my 3-year old, meeting him at his interests and getting him off the couch and playing even though he was sick. She was a great sitter!”

Mia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi all! My name is Mia and I am a student-athlete at Simmons University, studying nursing and playing volleyball! I have been babysitting for over five years, and would consider myself exceptionally good with kids. Friends would describe me as bubbly, compassionate, and intelligent. I am also very patient and equipped to care for children with special needs or learning disabilities. One thing that sets me apart is that I speak intermediate level spanish, and love teaching the children that I work with basic spanish. I am more than happy to provide tutoring and housework if requested. I look forward to working with you and your family! :)

"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."

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)."
