Sittercity helps Medfield families find the best babysitters

Hello, my name is Kanisha. I am an experienced childcare provider with over 15 years of hands-on experience working with children of various ages and developmental needs. My background includes roles as a daycare assistant, private nanny, after-school program lead counselor, and caregiver at a behavioral health center. I am certified in CPR and First Aid and have completed professional training in child behavior, safety, social and emotional development, and emergency preparedness. Currently, I homeschool my 4-year-old daughter and am looking to care for additional children to support both their social and cognitive growth—alongside furthering my own growth as an educator and caregiver. While my goal is to create a shared learning environment with my daughter, I am also available for private and weekend care upon request. I hold an Associate Degree in Human Services, with additional coursework in counseling, child development, and psychology. My approach is nurturing, patient, and grounded in strong values. I believe in building meaningful, long-term relationships with the families I work with, and I strive to offer dependable, high-quality care that supports each child’s unique needs. Please feel free to message me to learn more. I look forward to connecting with you and your family! Warm regards, Kanisha

Hi! My name is Alynah, and I’m a 4th-year medical student. I recently moved to Boston to work at Harvard/BIDMC on a research fellowship prior to graduating with my MD. I am well-trained to handle various situations and am certified in BLS, CPR, and First Aid. As the oldest of four children and 26 grandchildren, I have spent much of my life watching, feeding, cleaning up after, playing with, and teaching kids of all ages. I was employed for one year in high school, caring for a 4-year-old and a 13-month-old toddler. Since then, I have held several jobs, including working with children of all ages, and volunteering at daycares in my free time during my undergraduate studies. Additionally, during undergrad, I spent two years working with individuals with disabilities on college-level coursework, job applications, and social activities. I genuinely enjoy spending time with young people from all backgrounds. Being away from home makes me miss connecting with children, so hanging out with your kiddos in my free time would help Boston feel more like home. I have a car and am willing to drop off and pick up kids from extracurricular activities, help with homework, cook meals, run small errands, and more, as long as the tasks are clearly defined and agreed upon beforehand. I look forward to meeting you and your kiddos! Thank you for considering my application!

I’ve had a passion for caring for kids for as long as I can remember. Even as a child, I loved helping care for younger kids at church, in my family, or anywhere I had the chance. I have experience as a babysitter, substitute teacher, and Residential Advisor, which has helped me develop strong communication skills, conflict resolution strategies, and the ability to create safe, structured environments where kids can thrive. I’m comfortable caring for up to two children of all ages. Whether it’s leading fun, engaging activities, helping with meals and nap time, or just being a dependable presence, I’m ready to support your family in whatever way I can. I’ve worked with kids from a wide range of backgrounds and personalities, and I love building connections with each of them. I’m excited to create a fun and safe space while gaining more experience and meeting your family’s needs.

I love taking care of babies & toddlers preferably. Its fun to see them grow every day & make a connection . I have lots of extra experience & have fun with the little ones

Hi! My name is Lauren and I hail from a background in school safety and emergency preparedness. 🎒Let me tell you why I would be a great match for your kid/s. I have a wide array of interests from design and art, any outdoor recreation, cooking, history, fiction fanatic, and technology. My sense of humor makes kids comfortable, and my wild imagination keeps them entertained. 🪁I connect intuitively with children, and aim to strike a balance between physical and mental activity, while identifying cues for downtime. I am immensely goofy, creative, an avid reader, TV-averse, a champion of silly stories, and can make yummy balanced meals! 👩‍🚒 Most recently, I am a seasonal wildland firefighter for the federal government. This summer I am taking a break after several intense years, and recalibrating while staying at my parents house in Needham. 🚙 I have a clean, well-maintained 2010 Honda Odyssey with a clean driving record, and I am a confident city driver, even with a car full of energetic kids! I have passed several driving exams and driving courses for work. Additional relevant background: 🦺 ⛑️Pre-Firefighting I was a crisis response specialist for schools of all sizes, guiding them through any type of emergency or disaster alongside first responders. I have been a CPR/First Aid/Search and Rescue instructor for educators, and I regularly receive training and volunteer for Red Cross and FEMA. As a post-grad I worked as an EMT in the Middle East. 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦Pre-Covid, I spent several years nannying long-term between two families, one of which has a child with severe mental and physical disabilities, and this is where I learned to care for a child, rather than just babysit. I have also been babysitting or a camp counselor since age 12. Looking forward to meeting a great family!

I am a friendly and passionate infant/toddler teacher with 5 years in early childhood education. I’m motivated to helping children develop social, academic and creative abilities to foster well-being and progress. Experienced in developmental milestones and activities to promote curiosity and engagement. I am highly skilled at motivating children through positive encouragement and reinforcement. I have my teacher certificate in child development and guidance. I am also certified in CPR/first aid and am successful in helping children develop strong social and learning skills. I am experienced in ages 0-5 but am looking to gain more skill in all ages.

I have extensive babysitting experience, to include raising two teenage twins. I absolutely love children and how their innocence and communication can brighten even the darkest of days! I have excellent references with families from past and present experiences, and I welcome any and all questions to ensure the comfortability of, for the lack of wording, “holding your entire world in my hands”!

I’m a caring, dependable, and bilingual (Spanish/English) caregiver with over 30 years of experience working with children of all ages. My background includes teaching early childhood music and movement for 25+ years, working as a preschool associate teacher, and caring for 2nd, 3rd graders and kindergarteners in an after-school program. As a parent myself, I understand the importance of safety, trust, and creating a fun, nurturing environment. I’m also an experienced driver who can provide safe and reliable transportation to school, activities, and appointments. Families can count on me for patience, reliability, and a warm, engaging approach.

I really enjoy kids! They are naturally authentic and interested in the world. I studied Math and Education in college, and got teaching experience in classrooms ranging from kindergarten to high school. I got certified to teach secondary math, and went on to do a year of Americorps service after college. I moved to Boston in 2007 and began babysitting until I figured out what was next. I enjoyed what I was doing so much that I went on to become a full time nanny the following year. I worked for three years for a family with three children- ages 2, 5, and 7 when I started. After the youngest was off to kindergarten, I took a new position, a nanny share caring for two 2-year old girls. I’ve also babysat for multiple families over the years ranging from overnights with infant twins to school vacation help for 12-year olds. I taught the preschool class at my church for 5 years as well. In October 2012, I had a daughter of my own! I began bringing her along to babysitting/ nanny positions, which worked out quite well. In 2019, after working as a nanny/ babysitter for 12 years, I transitioned to teaching. I worked as an assistant in a combined Pre-K/Kindergarten class for four years before becoming the lead teacher of a separate Pre-K class. I had another daughter in January 2024 and am currently exploring the possibility of a babysitting position where I can bring my 1-year old daughter along.
