Chaya $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi My name is Maisie, I'm 29 and a culinary school graduate. I hope you can look past my lack of reviews I've yet to book any jobs here, I'd be happy to provide personal references. I have a nephew who's nearly five and a niece who's nearly three. Since becoming an aunt I've spent quite a bit of time providing my sister with the extra help she's needed. Aside from the usual hands on auntie time, I moved in with my sister for the month after my niece was born to help out. Additionally, when she was 9 months old, I spent a week alone with her as I transitioned her from breast feeding to formula. I have experience bathing, feeding, and changing their diapers. I feel comfortable in the kitchen and can help with meals. I'm very health conscious, and can provide nutritious meals. I don't have a car of my own, however, I can drive. I'm also a huge lover of dogs and have some experience with dog sitting/walking. A little fun fact about me, I actually grew up in brooklyn. I was raised to love and appreciate all the beauty and culture this wonderful city has to offer. I'd love to help pass that on to your kids with walks around the city, museum visits, and park days.

Isatu $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi – My name is Isatu, and I’m currently studying for the LSATs. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love working with children and have over 8 years of childcare experience, beginning with caring for my younger siblings and neighbors’ children. This early responsibility led me to volunteer at multiple afterschool programs and later work in both daycare and after-school care. I enjoy storytelling, outdoor activities, and creating a positive environment where kids can grow, feel supported, and be themselves. My responsibilities have included crafts, tutoring, outdoor play, supervising routines, and helping children build confidence and independence. I also provide household assistance and can cook, clean, organize, and run errands with care and reliability.

Henna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m an NYU dental student passionate about pediatric dentistry, with valuable experience working closely with children. I’ve worked as a dental assistant in Boston University’s Head Start and Early Head Start programs, where I developed patience, compassion, and strong caregiving skills. I’m CPR certified for infants and adults, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. As a caregiver, I’m nurturing, reliable, and attentive, creating a warm and calm environment where kids feel happy and comfortable. I also enjoy engaging children with creative activities and games that promote learning and fun. Additionally, I have a year of volunteer experience at an animal shelter in Boston, giving me particular expertise in pet care—especially with cats—so I’m happy to help with your furry family members too. I would love to provide loving, responsible babysitting tailored to your family’s needs!
