Bermarie $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, dependable, and patient person with a natural love for helping others—especially children and animals. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for kids of all ages through babysitting and volunteering in after-school programs, where I learned the importance of patience, creativity, and keeping children engaged in fun and safe activities. I’m also comfortable caring for pets, from walking dogs to making sure they’re well-fed and loved. In addition, I’m experienced with household tasks like light cleaning, organizing, meal prep, and maintaining a tidy space. My nurturing personality, strong sense of responsibility, and attention to detail make me someone families can truly rely on to provide a warm, safe, and positive environment for both their loved ones and their home.

Booked by 6 families in Needham, 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. HOURS: evenings / all day weekends! 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. !IM CPR CERTIFIED!

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

$30 per hour for 1 child

At age 11 i started babysitting for the neighborhood- to the point i was in very high demand and had to learn the art of negotiation. i stayed with the same families for many years literally up until i met and married my husband. we had 3 boys and cherished that experience as they grew into men. in 2020, i began my Nanny journey, and have loved every minute of it. children are our greatest commodity and i believe i have a special gift to connect with children and help them to thrive and develop into the very best they can be! in addition, i have learned how to create healthy boundaries with a family unit by anticipating and being conscientious of family dynamics. ultimately i pride myself in helping a family to thrive as individuals and as a whole. i have learned that each family has their own unique parenting style and its own challenges each and everyday - it’s been my personal experience that i can lend myself into those challenges to lighten the load by my attentive nature, compassion, energy and kindness. i take great pride in my role as a Nanny and cherish the moment’s shared with a loving and growing family.

Amanda babysat for my two boys (11 and 8) for years and she became a part of our family. My kids love her - she is active, artsy, empathetic, always stirring them in the right direction and patience. We would hire her back anytime and miss her very much.

"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)."
