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

Lauren G.

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!
