Booked by 1 family in Waltham, MA

Hi! My name is Veronica, and I’m an incoming graduate student at Harvard Graduate School of Education. I graduated from Pomona College in 2024, where I studied Politics, Philosophy, and Economics. I’m originally from California but have been living on the East Coast for the past 2 years and I’ve loved getting to know new families and communities here! I offer child care, tutoring, and senior care services, and have over 7 years of experience working with kids and seniors. I started tutoring in high school (mostly in math, English, and Spanish) and love helping students feel more confident in their learning. I’ve also volunteered with seniors and enjoy offering dependable, kindhearted support and companionship. Whether you’re looking for help with homework, someone to keep your child engaged, or a caring presence for a loved one, I’d be happy to support your family however I can!

Ava Boston
$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.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
