Ava $22 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated college student and Certified Nursing Assistant with hands-on experience in healthcare, customer service, and childcare. I currently work in an assisted living facility, where I provide direct patient care, assist residents with daily living activities, perform basic wound care, and respond effectively in fast-paced situations as part of a healthcare team. I also have several years of self-employed childcare experience, which strengthened my patience, decision-making, communication, and leadership skills. Additionally, my experience as a retail Guest Advocate helped me develop strong customer service abilities, cash handling skills, organization, and attention to detail. I am actively involved in community service, including volunteering with Partners for World Health, which has reinforced my commitment to helping others. Through my education, certifications, and work experiences, I have become dependable, motivated, and eager to continue learning, growing, and contributing meaningfully within the healthcare field in supportive, compassionate, and collaborative care environments.

sahhi $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Somerville, MA

Hello families! 🤗 I'm Sahhi , a 23-year-old I'm so excited to introduce myself as I look for a wonderful full-time nanny position, though I'm also open to part-time opportunities. I was born and raised right here in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and I've just recently graduated from college. I'm a responsible and reliable individual, holding a driver's license and committed to ensuring I can always get to work. My experience with children is quite extensive. I've had the pleasure of working in a daycare setting with children ranging from infants to toddlers, giving me a solid foundation in early childhood care. Beyond that, I've had incredibly rewarding experiences working with children of various ages and needs. I had the privilege of caring for a wonderful 9-year-old boy on the autism spectrum who was non-verbal. I've also cared for two young boys, aged three and nine, and I've found that I have a natural ability to connect with and manage children across a wide age range. My patience is one of my greatest strengths, and I truly believe in creating a nurturing and engaging environment for every child. I genuinely love working with children. They bring so much joy and happiness into life. I know that caring for kids is something I deeply enjoy and excel at. I'm eager to bring my energy, patience, and dedication to a family that's looking for a caring and capable nanny. Hope to hear from you soon!💕

Melissa $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Somerville, 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."

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)."
