My name is Rose, very experienced care giver, been Elderly and Babies my favorite people in this world. I've cared for Elderlies,bed bound people, hospice care and disabled, for many years now. But every time someone passes away,my heart felt like doing something else going forth, something happy for a change... For the past year I decided to try to change carrier, and since ,babies and Toddlers are my another passion,I wanted to be a Nanny , besides it would help me be part of someone's growing up process as opposed to the end of life, and this thought really put a smile on my face. I'm currently working for a family in Walpole, caring for an infant for 4 months now, but unfortunately they've been forced to let me go , due to the mother decided to become a stay a home Mom after been laid off from work . They are willing to give glowing references upon request, I have a 3 month review available already in a different care site. My plan is to become a new born specialist as soon as I can afford to pay for the training. Right now I can say that I've got a lot experience caring for this baby since he was 10 week old. Feeding, bottles cleaning, changing diapers ,nap schedule inforcement, play time, singing along, tummy time, and much more... I will be looking to work not too far from the Town of Walpole. Thank you for the consideration! 🌹 Rose B.

“Rose was our full time nanny for three months in 2026. She was caring and loving to our infant child. She is friendly with a glowing personality. She was always on time and reliable. Our needs changed, with my wife deciding to be a stay at home mom. We still work with Rose as a babysitter evenings if we go out.”

I bring a unique combination of nurturing experience and practical skills that make me a reliable, compassionate caregiver across multiple areas—whether caring for children, homes, or pets. As a mother, I understand the profound responsibility of caring for those who depend on us. I’ve worked as a babysitter, tutor, teacher, and mentor, giving me deep insight into child development, education, and creating safe, engaging environments where young people thrive. I’m patient and creative, skilled at adapting to different learning styles and personality types. My background in the healing arts—including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, yoga, and coaching—has taught me to approach caregiving holistically. I’m attuned to both physical and emotional wellbeing, and I bring a calming, grounded presence to any situation. These skills make me especially effective at supporting wellness, managing stress, and creating peaceful environments. When it comes to household management, I have over 20 years of experience caring for properties, including 14 years as a homeowner and ongoing management of my parents’ homes. I’m detail-oriented and take genuine pride in maintaining spaces that are clean, organized, and welcoming. I’m also trained in energetic space clearing—a practice I’ve been developing for eight years—and I’m excited to bring this much-needed skill to house sitting. My excellent reviews as an Airbnb guest reflect my respect for others’ homes and my understanding of what makes a space feel truly cared for. While I’ve never owned a dog myself, I’ve always loved them and have regularly pet-sat and walked dogs for friends over the years. I’m comfortable with their needs, routines, and quirks, and I genuinely enjoy their company. What sets me apart is my mission-oriented approach: I don’t just complete tasks—I care about the people, animals, and spaces entrusted to me. I’m flexible and adapt easily to changing needs. I’m also an excellent communicator, keeping families informed and ensuring everyone feels heard. Above all, I’m compassionate and caring. Whether I’m supporting a family, maintaining a home, or walking a beloved pet, my role is to bring peace of mind, reliability, and genuine warmth to every interaction.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Katalina $31 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have been professionally nannying children for fourteen years, varying from infants to preteens and would love to get to know your kiddo(s)! I have experience with nanny shares (two toddlers), and have had multiple positions caring for 2 kids at the same time. I also have experience with house managing, meal prep, driving kids, bottle prep, diaper changing, and putting down for naps/bed. I also have experience being out and about with kiddos, as well as socializing with other parents/nannies and their children. I’m very adaptive to constantly changing circumstances and pride myself with being able to roll with the punches :) I also have experience helping children develop skills to manage their own emotions, and teaching them developmentally appropriate social skills. I’m very warm and patient with children, especially during meltdowns. I also have experience helping navigate conflict resolution. I am the best fit for a family who values children learning emotional skills over learning manners. I know manners are extremely important to many families, but I prefer to let a child have big feelings, help them through those feelings and develop age appropriate skills to help them the next time it happens. I will absolutely help kiddos learn manners ("please" and "thank yous") but only when the kiddo seems in the right head space to absorb such info. For example, if a kiddo is having a bad day and yells at me that I'm stupid, I am more likely to respond by asking, "is that how you feel about me right now?" than asking for an apology. Then after they've calmed down, I would say something like, "I know you were frustrated with me earlier, and that is absolutely okay. But let's come up with a different thing you can say to me instead of telling me I'm stupid." That way it's a process the kiddo and I are involved in together, and they feel like they have some control within a structured and boundaried relationship. If a baby is having a meltdown, I’m the kind of caregiver who will soothe them through it and validate their feelings, instead of trying to make the meltdown stop. I’m an avid reader (and a published author with HarperCollins!), and my hobbies include baking, knitting, sewing, yoga, meditation, singing, and doing theatre :) I am CPR and Choke Prevention certified. AND I LOVE PETS :D

I have a strong background in injury prevention, first aid, and emergency response. Experienced in providing attentive, reliable care for children while maintaining a safe and active environment. Skilled in supervising physical activity, supporting healthy routines, and responding calmly to unexpected situations. Known for being dependable, patient, and communicative with parents. CPR and First Aid certified, with a commitment to safety and professionalism. I love dogs and had one for 10 years; later, she developed an illness, so if you are a pet parent with a delicate fur baby, you can trust me with them. I am a clean, organized, and routine person. I'm great with household cleaning and upkeep.

"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)."
