Roberta N.|Somerville, MA

$25-50/hr • 9 yrs exp • 30 yrs old

Part-Time Babysitter

I have always loved taking care of others, especially children. In fact, I am a nurse working in an intensive care unit. I have had several babysitting jobs over the past 9 years and have cared for children newborn-13 years of age. In addition, I have also tutored a few of the children in reading, math, and science. Being that childhood is the most impactful and influential time of ones life, I encourage physical activity, healthy eating habits, arts and crafts, and educational and interactive games. I love walking around Boston, visiting the Public Library, Aquarium, museum and many more places with the children I care for. I am best suited for a family who needs part-time and/or emergency care.

Caring And Playful Babysitter!

Responds within 4 hours

Hello! I am a 28-year-old graduate student studying to be a psychoanalyst, and I love kids! We have off the month of May in our academic calendar, so I am available to babysit most days in the month of May. I have worked with kids as a babysitter, ski instructor, karate instructor, and field hockey coach. I have a car, and I can travel to you. I like to play outside with kids, play imaginary games, and I can take them to their sporting events/camps if they need. Generally, I like to form a long-term connection with the kids, but once my classes and residency start up again, I am only available 10 hours a week. I could be a good option for short-term care needs this May and/or continuing with date nights or minimal hours into the summer and fall. Also, I am fully COVID vaccinated.

Jenna G.|Somerville, MA

Experienced, Energetic, Part-time Babysitter!

Hi! My name is Jenna an I'm new to the Boston area! I am a 26-year-old, University of Pittsburgh doctoral graduate currently looking for weekend and evening babysitting positions! I have been working with children as a babysitter/mother's helper since I was 12, and have been a counselor at various camps, both day camps and overnight camps, since I was 15. I love working with children and have experience working with babies as young as 4 months, as well as toddlers and school-aged children all the way up through preteens and teenagers! I also have FBI and Pennsylvania State background clearances and child abuse clearances as well as first aid/CPR certification. My clearances and paperwork aside, I enjoy any time I spend with kids and would love the chance to get to know yours!

Lauren M.|Somerville, MA

$15-25/hr • 6 yrs exp • 27 yrs old

Summer Nanny/Babysitter

I've been babysitting for various families for about 7 years and love it. I have cared for children ranging from 2 months to 10 years. I love to do activities with kids, whether it's cooking, drawing, making up games, origami, going swimming, or blowing bubbles. I believe that keeping kids engaged and having fun through activities is the best way to spend your time with them. I am CPR/First Aid Certified and have 2 years of life guarding experience. I am responsible and reliable, but know how to be silly and have fun at the same time.

Sophia S.|Somerville, MA

$10-15/hr • 10 yrs exp • 28 yrs old

Nursing Student With Nanny Experience

Responds within a few days

I've been a full time nanny for 3 years with live-in, live-out and travel experience. I've nannied for children from age 4 months up to 11 years and been responsible for up to 4 children at a time. My nanny jobs involved full charge care of multiple children sometimes, as well as simply shuttling kids to after school sports and activities, so I have a wide range of experience and am comfortable with just about anything childcare can throw at me. Before I became a full time nanny I'd already been babysitting for 10+ years and have 3 younger sisters that I grew up watching. I've recently relocated to Boston to attend Northeastern University's Nursing program where I am a full time student. I'm hoping to find some great families to be able to babysit for as needed to make extra money for school. I'm fully vaccinated and get covid tested each week for school while also following CDC recommendations for distancing and masks.

Very reliable and great communication! Great with both animals and kids.

Gabby is amazing to work with and if she is looking after your baby your baby is in great hands! She helped us out for three weeks and we became good friends. She introduced my baby to arts and crafts! She would bring home-made, baby-safe toys for my daughter who still plays with them! She has lots of experience with babies and that experience shows - not only did she quell our worries and answer our questions about our daughter's eating habits or growth, she treated my daughter with genuine love and care, and we had so much fun when she was over!

Imaginative Playmate & Loving Caregiver

Believe it or not, I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old! 10 years working with children has made me highly proficient at playing pretend, reading stories, making kid-friendly food, and all sorts of crafts. In May of 2020, I graduated from Tufts University with majors in Environmental Studies and Environmental Relations (a self designed major focused on developing environmental stewardship in young people). I am full of energy, smiles, and a love of the natural world. I promise to entertain your kids while keeping them safe, well-fed, and smiling!

Caro was a huge help during this difficult time. Having both kids (3yrs and 9months) at home while working was tough. Caro helped me tremendously, not just with the kids, but also cleaning up after playtime and meals. She was very resourceful to keep both kids happy and entertained. She always brought new ideas and materials to be creative. Caro was always punctual and a great communicator. I would definitely hire Caro again and can only recommend her for anybody who needs help with their kids any age. Thank you Caro!

Nicole B.|Somerville, MA

$22-30/hr • 9 yrs exp • 33 yrs old

Experienced, Nurturing, Fun-Loving, Imaginative Caregiver For Your Little Ones!

Hello! My name is Nicole, and I am an experienced, nurturing, fun-loving, responsible, and imaginative caregiver of local little ones (especially infants/toddlers), focused on cultivating their cognitive, emotional, and physical growth and development while maintaining a safe environment for them to thrive. Are your little ones tummy time masters or mastering coos? Do your kids like to create masterpieces and get lost in stories or explore nature and build forts? I love and encourage it all! I have been an infant-to-toddler nanny for four local families, plus I have locally cared for +20 families with ages ranging from 1-week-old to 10 years old! I am Pediatric CPR/First Aid certified, have a squeaky clean background (checks available!), and I do not smoke, drink, or do drugs. Prior to attending NYU, I was an Educator at the Children's Discovery Museum (4 years), a babysitter (8 years), and a camp counselor (3 years).

Tallulah (my partner) and I enthusiastically recommend Nicole for child care. Our daughter, S. (19 months), also does in her own way ('recommend' isn't in her vocabulary yet). We saw how thoroughly she enjoyed her time with Nicole and how much she developed and learned under Nicole's care. We know this in part because, without our asking, Nicole would send us videos and wonderful photos of her during the day. Nicole cared for S. from infancy into toddlerhood and always had fun activities for her appropriate to her age. For example, she would play music for S. and they would have little "dance parties" from the time she was using furniture to stand up with. One thing we really appreciated was how much Nicole took S. out: for walks to the dog park (she loves watching all the dogs), to the playground to swing and explore, and to the library for sing-alongs. Nicole read many books to S. daily, truly caring for her growth.
