Alex $25 per hour for 1 child

Kids are fantastic to work with. They have fantastic imaginations and a beautiful enthusiasm for so many parts of life. I love having the chance to hear about their favorite cartoon, sing along to their favorite Disney songs, and see the amazing ideas they come up with. I'm happy to play with kids, but I also take it seriously when there are rules they need to follow. Eating healthy snacks. Brushing their teeth. Going to bed. Those rules may not be things kids always want to do, but don't worry. I'll follow your schedule to a T. After all, kids also need the structure (and clean teeth) that come with less-fun habits. I am also experienced and capable at providing support for seniors, pets, or with numerous household tasks. I follow schedules well, pay attention to my charge's needs, and keep an eye on all the important details in my work. For seniors that means listening and treating them with respect. For pets it's paying attention for any mischief while caring for them. And for household chores, I just take pride in making sure I leave my workplace properly cleaned and organized. Whatever it is you need, I'm glad to help!

Sarah $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a kind, caring, and extroverted sitter who loves creating a safe and supportive environment where kids can feel comfortable being themselves. I have experience working with children through babysitting family members, volunteering in an elementary school, and completing a semester-long teaching experience with 5th-grade students. I currently volunteer weekly with kindergarteners in an afterschool program and assist in 5th/6th-grade science classrooms. I’m patient, dependable, and very comfortable communicating with kids. I enjoy taking the time to listen to children and help them put their thoughts, feelings, and needs into words in a respectful way. I love playing games, getting creative, and keeping kids engaged, and I truly don’t mind watching the same movie or listening to the same song for the hundredth time! I’m also BLS/CPR certified for infants, children, and adults, bilingual in Spanish, and happy to help with homework, tutoring, meals, and school pickup/walking home.

Hi there! I'm Allie, and I'm a Boston-based college professor and professional actor. I’m currently on summer break and available for short-term childcare opportunities! A bit about me—I moved to Boston to pursue my MFA in Theatre Education at Emerson College, but before that I lived in New York City, where I worked as a full-time nanny (and professional actor!). I have over ten years of childcare and children's education experience, and I'd love to meet you and your family. As a babysitter, I understand that every child and family is unique. I specialize in working with school-age children, children with severe allergies, children of LGBTQ+ families, high net worth families, and children with extra support needs (Prader-Willi syndrome, autism, ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety disorder, mood regulation disorder). I work carefully with parents to create a customized care plan to help their children thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. And as a professional actor, I also love to have fun and encourage imaginative play! My full resume and references are available upon request. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

“Ali is great and so creative — our girls had the best time. ”

Hello! My name is Joanna. I am originally from Cape Cod and am currently live in the Boston. I hold a Master’s degree in Community Development and Planning (specializing in Youth Development) from Clark University. While I currently work in clean energy, I have over a decade of hands-on experience in education and childcare. Throughout my career, I’ve cared for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. My background includes serving as a Youth Counselor at the Worcester Boys & Girls Club, tutoring for a college success program, and providing long-term babysitting and nanny-share support for families across Boston and Worcester. Previously, I served as a mother’s helper for a family with a 1-year-old and a 4-year-old. In that role, I managed morning routines, school drop-offs, tidying, outings to local parks, and occasional date-night care. Coming from a large family with many nieces and nephews, childcare has always been a natural part of my life. I love creating engaging, creative environments where children can explore, learn, and grow. I view caregiving as a mutual exchange where kids learn from me, and I learn just as much from them!

“Joanna is the most caring, calm, wonderful person. Our children love her (and so do we), and run to her each time she arrives because she is such a joy. She's reliable, punctual, responsible, and has a wonderful way with children. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
