Sittercity helps Waban families find the best babysitters

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.

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 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”!

Hello! My name is Emily Gorman and I am 23 years old and live in Manchester NH. I have been a babysitter since I was 13 years old and have enjoyed getting to care for so many kids. I have experience with children ages 1 month-13 years old. Currently I am in my second year as a special education teacher in Nashua NH. I have grown up all my life around animals. I spent several summers as a life guard and have taken cpr, first aid, and life guard certification classes. When babysitting I enjoy doing crafts, playing outside, reading books, and finding new ways to be creative. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi families! My name is Gisela, I’m 33 years old and an experienced babysitter who truly enjoys caring for children and supporting their well-being. I’m currently finishing my MIT certificate and studying Accounting, and I’m looking for babysitting opportunities starting August 15. Since I was young, I’ve cared for my younger siblings and later my nieces and nephews, which gave me a strong sense of responsibility and love for childcare. I also worked for three years with a single mother with a demanding job, where I was responsible for her children—preparing meals, supervising them, and taking them to activities. It was a very rewarding experience, and now I’m excited to offer my help to new families. I’m dependable, caring, and good with kids of all ages. I can assist with playtime, meals, bedtime routines, and homework. I have my own car and can travel to nearby areas. I also hold a valid Pediatric First Aid certificate to ensure safety at all times. If you need a trustworthy babysitter who truly cares, I’d love to connect and learn about your family’s needs. Looking forward to hearing from you! — Gisela
