Lynndara $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m currently a graduate student at Merrimack College and I also work full time at RTX. I’m located in Malden, MA Outside of my education and work, I love to be in nature and spend a lot of my time at the beach with friends and family. I love kids and believe I have a great, sociable personality that allows me to understand kids with ease. I have babysat for multiple age groups since the age of 16, and I started in 2015! I have worked in both a summer program and day care, and I have been a personal babysitter for a lovely family in Massachusetts with two 4 year old twins and a 7 year old at the time. I can reference this family for anyone who would like to connect with them! More recently, my best friend had a beautiful baby boy who just turned 4 months and I’ve had the pleasure of being trusted to take care of him. He is truly such a sweet baby, and I believe kids always have the ability to teach me something new. Recently, I have began to help watch my boyfriend’s niece (16 months) and nephew (5yo). I am also an animal lover. I really love dogs and cats and I plan to get one soon. Please feel free to reach out to me about anything at all, and I look forward to servicing you! :)

My Master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA) has also provided me with valuable skills in organization, leadership, and management—essential for handling multiple responsibilities in a childcare setting.For over 10 years, I worked in daycares with children aged 4 months to 6 years, where I gained extensive experience in early childhood development.

"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)."
