Hello Families! My name is Rashida and I am a native Bostonian. I am a licensed and experienced Child Care Professional. I have over 20 years of teaching experience and child care experience and I love working with children! I have my Associate's degree in Early Childhood Education and I am infant, toddler, preschool lead teacher qualified and director qualified. I love working with children because I enjoy helping them learn, discover and grow. Seeing and helping infants and toddlers reach new milestones and watching and giving preschoolers and early learners tools to discover the world around them is a joy and is exciting to see. For the past 2 years I have also been teaching Early Childhood trainings and enrichment classes to Educators. The program is in partnership with statewide EEC programs. I am available to provide child care in Boston and in the Greater Boston area. I look forward to meeting and speaking with you!

Booked by 8 families in Medford, MA

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.

Booked by 6 families in Medford, MA

Hi! My name is Elonga, I’m 22 years old and a recent graduate from Xavier University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. I have over 8 years of childcare experience and have worked with children ranging from newborns to 12 years old. I began babysitting at age 13, caring for my younger siblings and cousins, and later gained professional experience as an au pair for two years, where I cared for a 5-month-old infant and a 5-year-old. I am the oldest of five siblings, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple children at once and creating a structured, safe, and engaging environment. I am patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy supporting children’s growth and development. I am fluent in French and Swahili, and I also speak conversational Spanish, which can be a great bonus for multilingual households. I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and maintaining routines. I am a non-smoker, fully vaccinated (including booster), and prioritize safety and communication with parents at all times. Please note: I do not drive at the moment and am not comfortable handling pet snakes. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide reliable, nurturing care for your children!

Elonga was fantastic! Our daughter had fun actively playing, doing arts, and listening to music. Look forward to the next play date!

"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)."
