With over ten years of experience in child caregiving, I have developed a deep passion for supporting and nurturing children. Starting as a babysitter at the age of 12, I have worked with kids ranging from 9 months to 17 years old. My experience includes tutoring dyslexic students, working at a summer camp, and providing care for children with special needs. Currently, I serve as a behavioral therapist for autistic children, where I apply tailored strategies to support their growth and development. I am dedicated to creating positive, enriching experiences for every child I work with.

I am in New York City for the summer in the middle of my MSW program at Simmons University. I have extensive experience working with children in a variety of capacities (school counselor, teacher assistant, afterschool assistant, ABA assistant therapist, school social work intern, babysitter) I am a somewhat recent graduate from Boston College with an Applied Psychology and Human Development B.A. I am currently pursuing my MSW at Simmons University and am looking to help families with occasional or part-time babysitting, pet sitting, or other services. If you would like to discuss more, I can forward my resume and/or references. I would love to hear from you :)

Ava $25 per hour for 1 child

I have a lot of experience with babysitting from ages <1 year to around 12 years old! I have also had experience with tutoring kids around the 9-13 years old which gives me good experience to help with homework, etc. I am a rising junior at Boston University studying neuroscience and am looking for some part time work. I recently had a gap semester where I spent most of it (32 hrs a week) nannying for two different families (one boy - 1 y/o and the other family 2 girls - 2 and 4 y/o) and I really grew to love the work and the kids so much so I’m hoping to find that here as well! I love working with kids and really enjoy the work I have been able to do with them in the past which makes me very hardworking on the job and fun for the kids!

Azariah $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a Social Work major at Simmons University and I have experience with babysitting in the long term and short term, dog-sitting, cat-sitting, and house-sitting. I am incredibly patient, creative, understanding, and a quick problem solver which makes me perfect for working with kids. I am quick to learn each family's rules and preferences and enforce them gently. I am a strong communicator which means I am great at building a rapport both with parents and kids. I have been CPR certified by the American Heart Association and am ready to take on responsibilities such as making meals, cleaning, and organizing for a family in addition to childcare or pet care.

Emily $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emily, and I am a rising senior at Simmons University studying Nursing. I am currently offering childcare, senior care, and household services. I have over four years of babysitting experience working with school-aged children, as well as two years of experience in a daycare setting caring for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. These experiences have helped me develop the patience, flexibility, and creativity needed to care for children of all ages while ensuring they are safe, engaged, and having fun. As a nursing student, I am certified in CPR and Basic Life Support (BLS) through the American Heart Association. My education and clinical experiences have strengthened my ability to remain calm under pressure, communicate effectively, and provide compassionate care. Through my nursing clinicals, I have also worked with older adults and am comfortable assisting with senior care. I love creating fun and interactive experiences for children, whether that means making crafts, playing board games, having dance parties, reading stories, helping with homework, or joining an imaginative dress-up adventure. If your child needs a princess, pirate, superhero sidekick, or tea party guest, I am happy to play the part! I am primarily looking for occasional babysitting opportunities and date-night coverage. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your family, and I strive to provide dependable, attentive, and engaging care that gives parents peace of mind while they're away. I look forward to connecting with your family and learning how I can best support your needs!
