Hello! We are looking for a caring and experienced nanny to care for our 4 month old baby boy starting end of May in Dorchester. The ideal candidate must be at least 21 years old, certified in CPR and first aid, and a non-smoker. Prior experience with infants is highly preferred. Our family hopes to find a nanny who will be a long-term part of their family.
The nanny's responsibilities will include bottle preparation and washing, baby laundry, tidying play areas, and light housekeeping. A valid driver's license and a clean driving record are essential. The ideal candidate is active, engaging, reliable, and strong communicators with knowledge of infant development. References required.
We are moving out-of-state mid-June, making our amazing nanny, Sandra, available. Sandra has cared for our two children (2 yo and 4 yo) full time for over a year. They absolutely adore her! She creates a nurturing environment for them to learn and grow and fills their days with activities. The first question our smiling 4 yr old often asks me in the morning is “Is it a Sandra day?” I’ve gladly swallowed the fact that he’s more excited about the days that she crafts for our kids than the days that we do. Sandra is incredibly responsible and reliable and happy to pick up additional hours when we need. Her first priorities are our children’s health and safety, closely followed by their development. Further, she is incredibly helpful to us around the house without us even asking. She takes care of the kids’ laundry, helps with dishes, etc.
Sandra brings over 15 years of experience caring for young children and it shows in the ease with which our kids have bonded with her.
I’m heartbroken to be leaving Boston, but even more so that we can no longer have Sandra care for our children. I so highly recommend Sandra. Please feel free to reach out to Sandra at (617) 952-8264 or Sandramtorres510@gmail.com or myself at (303) 518-9666.
Best,
Carly Yang
Hi! Our incredible babysitter - Penelope - is looking for families to babysit for this summer in and around the South End. Info about her is below. She is available M-F day and evening hours + weekend evenings or occasional mornings when needed. She can be reached directly at (617) 523-7627.
Hi, I’m Penelope! I’m looking to babysit for a new family this summer. I'm about to graduate from Boston University with a degree in Psychology and hope to become a children’s therapist in the future. From 2018 to 2022, I worked with kids ages 3–11 at a summer camp in Concord, MA. Last summer, I worked in a research lab at BU studying the bond between children and caregivers, and how empathy develops over time. Needless to say, I love kids (and the summertime!) and would be thrilled to help however your family may need.
Looking for a Part-Time Babysitter?
I’m helping a wonderful student from Peru connect with a local family! She’s kind, reliable, and very responsible — with babysitting experience dating back to 2017 in her home country.
She’s now in the U.S. and looking for a part-time babysitting opportunity, ideally starting at $22/hour. While her experience is international and her English is basic, she makes up for it with a warm heart, strong work ethic, and a genuine love for children.
She’s also happy to help with light housekeeping and would thrive with a family that is patient and supportive as she continues improving her language skills.
If you or someone you know might be a good fit, feel free to message me for more info!
She only takes the T for transportation.
