Rouya $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Rouya, a 20-year-old Early Childhood Education major at North Shore Community College. I’ve always loved being around kids, which is why I chose a career where I can help them learn, grow, and have fun. My first job was at the Lynn YMCA, where I worked closely with children in a safe, active, and positive environment. It taught me how to be patient, responsible, and adapt to every child’s unique personality. I’m outgoing, energetic, and a big people person, so building connections comes naturally to me. Whether we’re playing games, doing arts and crafts, reading stories, cooking, or just using our imagination, I love keeping kids engaged while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m also a fast learner, dependable, and always happy to help with homework, meals, light housekeeping, or whatever your family needs. My goal is to be more than just a babysitterI want to be someone your children look forward to seeing and someone you can trust and feel confident leaving them with. I understand how important it is to find the right person to care for your little ones, and I would love the opportunity to be that person for your family.

Jhanna $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Jhanna and I am 19 years old with 4–5 years of experience caring for children between the ages of 1 and 12. I genuinely love working with kids and take pride in helping make parents’ lives a little easier by providing safe, reliable, and nurturing care. I have a very social and caring personality, and I always do my best to meet everyone’s expectations. I enjoy getting to know each child individually and learning their unique personalities and sweet sides. I consider myself to have a naturally motherly nature and truly love creating fun, engaging activities that keep children happy and stimulated. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, and going to the gym, which helps me stay active and positive. While I do not currently hold certifications, I bring patience, responsibility, and a genuine passion for caring for children into everything I do.

Sarah $33 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been a nanny for the past twelve years, with experience ranging from infant to early elementary school aged. I just wrapped up my most recent job as the family’s needs are changing and now I’m looking for work while I figure out what’s next for me. I love keeping kids active and engaged, with plenty of outdoor time as the weather permits. I don’t drive, so I can only take jobs that are MBTA accessible; I’m also experienced and comfortable with taking kids on the t/bus if necessary. Currently, my availability open and pretty flexible, I’m open to one off gigs, temporary jobs, or longer term (1-2 years).

"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)."
