Booked by 7 families in Jamaica Plain, MA

Hello. My name is Tatiana. I'm looking for a babysitting job. I'm very positive, kind, thoughtful and hard working person. I'm originally from Russia and speak Russian as well as English. I have a good sense of humor, engaging personality and genuine love of children. Lots of experience with children. In a past I took care of two beautiful boys at the age of 3 and 5 years old. I was living in nanny and was helping with laundry, cleaning and feeding the kids. I have been also taking care of my friends children of different ages and can provide with references upon request at any time. I was taking care of two beautiful twins for over a two years since they were 5 months old. So have lots of experience with infant children as well. I think I would be a great fit for your children and I am sure it would be great experience for everyone. I am looking forward to start a journey with your family and become a part of it!

“Tatiana was so sweet and caring, I immediately liked her the moment we met. My son loved her as well and even referred to her as his best friend during the evening :) They played Legos, read books, and had dinner before his bedtime routine. Tatiana was on time and very responsive, giving us updates throughout the evening. I would definitely book her again and recommend her.”

Isabella $22 per hour for 1 child

I am a responsible, active, and caring individual with hands-on experience providing full-time child care during summer months. In this role, I supported families by caring for children throughout the day while also helping maintain an organized and comfortable home environment. I regularly handled household responsibilities such as cleaning, doing laundry, and cooking meals for the family, which helped create a smooth daily routine. When caring for children, I enjoy being fully engaged and present, participating in activities that genuinely interest them while also introducing age-appropriate games, crafts, and structured play. I believe in following a child’s lead to encourage independence and confidence, while also providing gentle structure to support their day and keep routines consistent. I am energetic and enjoy active play, whether that involves outdoor activities, creative projects, or imaginative games. I focus on creating a safe, positive environment where children feel supported, respected, and encouraged to learn through play. In addition to child care, I am comfortable assisting with basic pet care such as feeding, playing, and supervising pets as part of a household routine, including homes with shedding animals. I am also experienced in household services such as tidying, organizing, running light errands, and meal preparation. Overall, I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and adaptable, and I strive to support families by meeting both their child care and household needs in a thoughtful and reliable way.

Kiara $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m Kiara, a compassionate, high-energy caregiver dedicated to creating a safe, stimulating, and joyful environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. ​My foundation in childcare runs deep: as the eldest, I played a key hands-on role in raising my two younger siblings from my early teenage years. That experience taught me the real-world essentials of childcare; from managing dynamic daily routines, meal prep, and bedtime transitions to staying calm under pressure and offering patient, supportive guidance at every stage of growth. ​Children are naturally curious, and I thrive on nurturing that trait through interactive storytelling, creative arts, outdoor movement, and hands-on learning activities. Whether it’s assisting with homework, guiding imaginative play, or managing daily schedules, my priority is ensuring your kids feel secure, valued, and genuinely engaged.

"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)."
