Livia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Livia, nice to meet you! I have over 3 years of experience working as a nanny and supporting families with loving and attentive childcare. I truly enjoy being part of children's growth, learning, and everyday discoveries. I have experience caring for children from 1 to 15 years old and understand how each stage requires patience, creativity, and attention. I am warm, nurturing, and emotionally supportive, while also maintaining structure and responsibility. My goal is always to create a safe, happy, and engaging environment where children feel secure and valued. I carefully follow family routines, nutrition guidelines, and specific care instructions, and I adapt easily to each child's unique personality and needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified, including pediatric CPR, so safety is always my top priority. I am punctual, reliable, patient, and genuinely passionate about working with children. I would love to be someone your family can fully trust and depend on.

Hello! My name is Lily. I am 23 years old and I recently graduated in 2025 from Boston University Wheelock College with an undergraduate degree in Education and Human Development with a concentration in Child and Adolescent Mental Health. I have been working since September 2025 as a 1st grade general classroom Paraprofessional in a Brookline Public School. I love my job and work with lots of different kids with many different needs! I have lots of experience working with students with mild to moderate Autism and hope to obtain my masters in Special Education this coming fall. I have been babysitting and nannying since I was 13 years old and have experience ranging from toddlers to preteens. I am happy to incorporate learning into my time with your child and can plan fun activities, or take them to the park to play, whatever your goal is! I am happy to do light household chores and cook for your child. I am open to anything from occasional babysitting to a full-time nanny position from now until school begins in September. Looking forward to speaking to you:)

Diavian $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Diavian, and caring for children is truly one of my greatest joys. I know how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your child — someone who shows up with love, patience, and consistency every single day. When your little one is with me, they will always feel safe, supported, and truly cared for. I believe in creating a warm, structured, and engaging environment where children can grow with confidence. My goal is to be a positive influence and strong role model, encouraging each child to be curious, kind, and proud of who they are. I love building long-term connections with families, and I treat every child with the same level of care and respect I’d want for my own loved ones. I’m a non-smoker, have reliable transportation, and am comfortable with pets. I’m also known for my great communication, reliability, and ability to multi-task while still giving children the attention and support they deserve. Whether you need a one-time sitter or ongoing care, I’m committed to making your life easier and your child’s day brighter. What Your Child Will Experience • A loving, patient caregiver who celebrates their personality • A safe, positive, and emotionally supportive space • Age-appropriate, stimulating activities and games • Outdoor walks, fresh air, and active play • Books, creativity, hands-on learning, and engaging routines • Healthy meals and snacks prepared with care • Positive reinforcement and gentle guidance My goal is always to keep children active, happy, engaged, and confident. I want them to feel excited when I walk through the door and secure knowing they are with someone who truly cares. You’ll never have to wonder if they’re being treated with love — that’s guaranteed. Thank you for considering me. I can’t wait to become someone your child feels comfortable with and someone you feel completely confident trusting.

"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)."
