Katie has dedicated herself to fostering relationships with her family, friends, colleagues, and the community members that she serves as a social worker for Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Katie knows what it takes to make strong connections, and she genuinely cares about all the people in her life regardless of their association. I have seen Katie engage and take care of many children over the years, including my four year old daughter, and they have all enjoyed their time spent with her, and they have all been cared for with a first-rate supervision, patience and protection. I couldn't recommend Katie enough!

Weekly Babysitter Available!

Hi! I have nannied for children of all ages over the years. Many of the families I have babysat for have become like families to me, and I have even had the opportunity to travel internationally to nanny. I recently moved to Massachusetts, and have been very sad to leave behind the kiddos I babysat for! I work for the Boys & Girls Club of Stoneham and Wakefield as a Development Associate. I am really passionate about providing a safe place for kids where they can grow and explore! In addition to babysitting, I also am a certified yoga teacher. On occasion, I have offered babysitting services and then an in-house yoga class afterward, as I have found that these busy mamas need a little zen too! I particularly love working with kids ages 2-8, but truthfully love kids of all ages. I actively try not to utilize any screen time, and will work with you to make sure that your parenting style is reflected. I would love to meet some great kids! Thank you!

Abril M.|Boston, MA

$15-20/hr • 1 yr exp • 20 yrs old

Fun And Creative Babysitter!

Hello, my name is Abril! I'm a current college sophomore studying at Emerson College. I am staying home for the semester and love working with kids so much. I have much experience since I have a younger brother and had to always take care of him while my parents were off at work. I also worked with children for a year when I volunteered at the Institute of Contemporary Arts for Family Day. I would love to help any families who need someone to watch over their kids especially during such a difficult and unprecedented time. What I believe sets me apart is my admiration for children and my vibrant personality. I am also a very creative and artistic individual who would love to share this with your kids and get them to enjoy fun activities whether in their free time or with help during school.

Abril took care of our 3 year old from August to December. She was wonderful with him. Abril kept him entertained throughout the day by playing with his toys, doing crafting activities, practicing concepts he was learning in his preschool class and reading to him. She was thoughtful, loving and patient with him as well. We wish she could keep taking care of him but she needed to go back to college. We will miss all her very much, especially our son who always tells us he loves Ms. Abril.

We were extremely fortunate to find Taylor on care.com in fall of 2018. We have used her multiple times since then- date nights, weekdays when daycare was closed, etc. She's very engaging with our toddler- playing games, taking him to the park, etc. Not only have we enjoyed working with Taylor, we recommend her to our friends and they've hired her many times to take care of their little one beginning when she was an infant. I definitely would recommend Taylor!

Emily A.|Boston, MA

$20-25/hr • 9 yrs exp • 29 yrs old

Part Time Nanny/babysitter/caregiver

Hi, I'm Emily! 7 years ago I made the decision to begin nannying full time. Having had years of prior experience babysitting and siblings 16+ years younger, it came naturally! About a year ago I have up full time childcare to focusing on schooling in exercise. I currently have two other jobs-one in a gym and another in a hair salon so please keep in mind I am around other people on a daily basis- I just want to be fully transparent about that right off the bat! But of course working in these businesses I am still always required to wear a mask and clean and sanitize extremely thoroughly to keep myself and others safe. I am looking to fill in some gaps with my current schedule and would love to help any parents out there who need help with their kid(s) in these odd times! I am currently available Tues, Wed, Thurs as well as weekends.

Weekend/Evening Babysitter

My name is Ryan! I just recently graduated from Suffolk University where I studied Sociology and Education. I started working with kids at a camp in the summer of 2015. Here I participated in outdoor and indoor activities with girls aged 7 to 14. I then worked at a daycare with children ages 4 months - 5 years old for almost two years in Washington DC. These past four years in Boston I have worked directly with the Program where I worked in daycare's across the city to provide equal opportunities for children preparing to transition to elementary school. Ultimately I am passionate about being a positive role model, influence, and support in the lives of children. A few fun facts about me are that I love being outside and cook, I play guitar, paint, and love to write. My creative mind has allowed me to prepare a number of fun activities for kids. I am a very responsible and enthusiastic person and am ready to take on all responsibilities and challenges set forth for me.

Reviewed by Jordan Z. Feb 2021 5/5 stars

Ryan worked with our family supporting our 4 year old during remote learning (pre-K) for 5 months. Our daughter adored Ryan and all of the creative activities she came up with when they were not actively involved in online school. Ryan was on time everyday and was communicative about everything. She is respectful and trustworthy. I highly recommend Ryan; any family would be lucky to have her as a childcare provider.
