Booked by 1 family in Shirley, MA

I have taken care of my younger family members between the ages of newborn and 5 years old. I also have a loving puppy at home that I take care of, if an animal also needs to be catered to. I love spending time with kids and playing around! On top of all the fun with kids and animals, I love to clean. I manage to keep my home and my apartment for college maintained and clean. I am looking forward to spending time with kids to continue my love for caretaking. I also volunteer/help teach at a public school. I help in a 1st grade classroom, so if your kid may need help with, I am also open to helping with.

“Danyka took amazing care of our 14 month old twin boys! She was great at following their schedule, guiding them through lunch time, playing with their toys, and taking them for walks. She was always very diligent in keeping watch and making sure they were safe, following hungry and sleepy cues, and I would have her watch them again anytime. ”

Rosa $25 per hour for 1 child

I bring over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience, having babysat for multiple families and cared for children of various ages. Currently, I work as a substitute teacher for preschool and elementary school in Beacon Hill, which has strengthened my ability to manage groups, support early learning, and respond calmly to different needs and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, with a strong focus on creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment. In addition to childcare, I have experience pet-sitting both dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable in households with animals and happy to help care for them as well. I’m also willing to assist with light household tasks to keep things running smoothly. My goal is to support families by being dependable, caring, and proactive, while ensuring children feel secure, happy, and encouraged to learn and play.

"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."

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)."
