Blessing Woburn
$25 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing young minds is my passion. I've spent the half of my life caring for children aged newborn to 11, in my community back in Africa including toddlers and preschoolers. I find immense joy in fostering their development. I am patient, calm, friendly, and approachable. I support families by providing reliable care for their little ones. I follow the parents' lead when it comes to household rules and preferred communication methods. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational games with children. I am comfortable caring for one to three kids at a time. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your family.

Mia Boston
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi all! My name is Mia and I am a student-athlete at Simmons University, studying nursing and playing volleyball! I have been babysitting for over five years, and would consider myself exceptionally good with kids. Friends would describe me as bubbly, compassionate, and intelligent. I am also very patient and equipped to care for children with special needs or learning disabilities. One thing that sets me apart is that I speak intermediate level spanish, and love teaching the children that I work with basic spanish. I am more than happy to provide tutoring and housework if requested. I look forward to working with you and your family! :)

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
