Katrina 1 review
Somerville
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Katrina, and I recently relocated to Boston. I have a professional background as a Direct Support Professional (DSP), where I supported individuals with diverse needs, including developmental and behavioral challenges. Through this work, I developed strong skills in patience, communication, safety awareness, and creating structured, nurturing environments. I am CPR certified and prioritize safety while still making sure children feel comfortable, engaged, and heard. I believe in being attentive, calm, and proactive — whether that means helping with routines, homework, meal prep, or simply being a steady and positive presence. Families can count on me to be reliable, organized, and respectful of household expectations. I genuinely enjoy supporting children’s growth and independence while making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m currently available for short-term, evening, and weekend care, and I look forward to connecting. $23-$27per hr

Very pleasant human being, goes above and beyond for you and doesn't miss a day of needing to help you! She’s very patient and understanding, flexible with dates/times. If you need someone to baby sit / nanny she is the one to go to, always reliable ❤️

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Jamaica Plain, MA

My name is Melissa, I’m a 32 year old Colombian native. I’ve been in the United States for four years. I’m still practicing and learning English. I’m always looking for opportunities to improve myself. I’m a mother to three boys. I love children, I have a lot of patience. In my prior nannying position I took care of a 6 month old boy and his 4 year old sister for two years. I loved the position and the family. Our children got along very well and we took trips together during school vacations. When nannying I take full responsibility for the care of the child, I cook all meals for the children, clean, assist with laundry, ensure homework and other tasks are completed and if necessary prepare the children for bed. I also taught Spanish to my previous clients children. For pet care I provided services for various animals on Rover with my husband. I’ve had many pets in the past and currently have a Samoyed. I have a long list of experience with housekeeping. I’m extremely efficient and thorough. I’ve worked for various businesses cleaning and always had wonderful reviews. I’ve worked in many restaurants. Cooking comes naturally to me. I enjoy cooking a homemade meal instead of ordering out. I’m very dependable and flexible on days and hours. I also have my own vehicle.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."

Eric D., dad of two
