Caitlin $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Caitlin, a recent Wellesley College graduate with a B.A. in Psychology and over three years of professional childcare experience. I worked at Wellesley Community Children's Center as both a Teaching Assistant and EEC-Certified Infant/Toddler and Preschool Teacher, caring for children ages 0–6. Outside of work, I frequently babysat my students. I also spent a summer as a YMCA camp counselor, working with children ages 4–13. I am currently pursuing a career in child development research that has included an internship at Mass General's pediatric neuropsychology clinic and my present position as a research assistant on a Harvard study examining early education programs. My background in psychology and child development has given me a strong understanding of children's developmental needs, and I love finding creative ways to make everyday activities fun, engaging, and educational. I'm patient, nurturing, responsible, and attentive, and I especially enjoy getting to know each child's unique personality and interests. Whether we're reading, doing arts and crafts, exploring outside, playing games, or working through a tricky moment, I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where children feel comfortable and encouraged to be themselves. I'm also very familiar with communicating with parents about children's routines, behavior, and daily activities. I hold adult and pediatric CPR/AED/First Aid certifications and have experience with classroom organization, cleaning, lesson and activity planning, early literacy, and maintaining children's supplies. I'm happy to help with light household tasks related to childcare as well. In addition, I am experienced with caring for dogs and cats. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide thoughtful, dependable care!

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!

Kay $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kay, and I’m a student at Emmanuel College in the Fenway area, where I’m pursuing a degree in Elementary Education. I have about three years of hands-on experience working with children from kindergarten through 8th grade, and I currently work in both pre- and post-school day programs as well as summer camps. Additionally, I have experience babysitting younger children, ages 2–4. Working with kids is truly my passion. My goal is to provide a safe, positive, and caring environment where children feel supported and engaged. I take pride in being patient, attentive, and responsible, and I always strive to make each child’s time with me fun, meaningful, and secure. I also have over five years of experience pet sitting both large and small dogs, as well as cats. I’m more than happy to take on household pet responsibilities, including feeding, walking, and providing attentive care while you’re away.

Booked by 1 family in Brookline, MA

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.
