I have three years of experience working with children between the ages of 5 and 12 through both babysitting and volunteer work. During this time, I’ve gained hands-on knowledge of child safety, communication, and engagement strategies that help create a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED, which gives me the confidence and skills to handle emergency situations calmly and effectively. I’m naturally outgoing, dependable, and hardworking. I take pride in being consistent and responsible. Whether I’m helping with homework, planning activities, or managing routines, I approach every task with care and attention. In addition to working with children, I’m also open to helping with household tasks or pet care as needed.

I'm a young caring vibrant student going to school to become Doula then to eventually become a Nurse-Midwife. I love children I've always been reliable and independent when it comes to taking care of newborns up to teens. I also own a vehicle.

Experienced, engaging, compassionate and patient professional. Detail oriented and serene. Calm but energetic. Loves sharing music and being active outdoors with kids. The best. We have already rebooked with her for next time!

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.

Booked by 8 families in Jamaica Plain, MA

I’m passionate about working with children and connect easily with kids of all ages. Fluent in English, Arabic, and French, I enjoy gardening, cooking, and outdoor activities, creating fun, enriching experiences for young ones.

Sahar was amazing with both my 2 month old and my 18 month old sons. I really appreciated how she was eager to help in any way she could and offered to help me sweep and cook dinner. She was incredible with my older son who is usually very clingy and only typically lets me take care of him when he’s sick. She was so creative with playing with him and both my kids and I loved really her friendly, sweet and positive personality

"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
