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.❤️❤️❤️

I am a loving mother of 2 beautiful daughters. I have worked with tons of family around the greater Boston area. My last job I was taking care of a 5 year old child and her younger sister who was 6 months old. I was with this family for 4 years but they moved out of the state. I am here to help lift some weight off your shoulders and take care of your little one while you continue your errands or work.

My name is Meryem. I am a doctoral student majoring in Education Leadership and professional babysitter in Boston with several years of experience caring for children of all ages. I am passionate about early childhood education and love creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for children to learn and grow. I am available for evening, overnight, and weekend babysitting.

Sarah $33 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been a nanny for the past twelve years, with experience ranging from infant to early elementary school aged. I just wrapped up my most recent job as the family’s needs are changing and now I’m looking for work while I figure out what’s next for me. I love keeping kids active and engaged, with plenty of outdoor time as the weather permits. I don’t drive, so I can only take jobs that are MBTA accessible; I’m also experienced and comfortable with taking kids on the t/bus if necessary. Currently, my availability open and pretty flexible, I’m open to one off gigs, temporary jobs, or longer term (1-2 years).

"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."

Amy L., mom of one

"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

"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)."
