Hi! I’m Iyana 😊 I’m a graduate student at Bowie State University with over 5 years of experience caring for children ages 4 months to 12 years. I’ve worked with infants through elementary-aged kids and also spent a year and a half teaching 8th grade, including supporting students with ADHD, dyslexia, and autism. I really enjoy babysitting because every child is different, and I love getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and routines. I’m comfortable with transportation, sleep training/bedtime routines, and I’m very pet-friendly. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are playing board games, karaoke, going on walks or hikes, and cooking together. I always aim to create a fun, safe, and relaxed environment for both kids and parents.

Hello! My name is Ashley and I am a native and current resident from Cambridge, Massachusetts. In May 2019, I graduated from Boston College with a Master's in Clinical Social Work. I currently work as a school counselor in Cambridge. At the moment, I am seeking part-time/occasional babysitting opportunities. Gradually, I have gained an extensive amount of experience working with children and families coming from various cultural backgrounds and ages. In this role, the most important aspects for me is the ability to build a positive relationship with the family/kid(s), ensuring the safety of the child and having fun! Coming from a large extended family, I have had plenty of years of experience providing child care to my younger cousins. During my undergrad years, I worked at the Central YMCA in Worcester as an after school lead teacher. The past two summers, I worked as a division camp director at a local summer camp in Cambridge ensuring safety and accommodating to social emotional needs of campers. As a sitter, I thoroughly enjoy engaging in arts and crafts, exploring the city, playing outside/park time, doing puzzles and reading.I hope to hear from you soon!

Ashley is a terrific human. Not only is she wonderful with my daughter, gets the job done simply, easily, and ably, but when Sittercity was giving us both difficulty with notifications, she went to the extra effort of reaching out, outside of Sittercity, proactively and still safely for both of us.

Bonjour! I’m a proud St. Lucian with a big heart and a passion for babysitting that blossomed when I was just 11 years old. Growing up, I helped raise my three younger siblings, who were born more than a decade after me. Those early experiences taught me patience, empathy, and how to guide little ones through every stage. From first steps to singing/sporty personalities. Watching them grow into their own identities lit a fire in me to support other children in the same way. Over the years, I’ve continued to babysit younger cousins and family friends, giving me hands-on experience with kids of various ages whenever I have time with my technical wiritng positon. I naturally gravitate toward creating a nurturing, positive environment where children feel safe, heard, and empowered. I'm especially proud of teaching manners in fun, memorable ways, and I bring calm energy and warm encouragement to every interaction. Whether we’re playing games, learning something new, or just having silly moments, I’m there with love, laughter, and genuine care.

Kayla watched my children (the youngest of whom was three months old). She was punctual, responsive and flexible. She quickly took control and engaged with our very active toddlers. I highly recommend her and would use her services again!

As a teenager and babysitter I knew I wanted to work with children but as a pediatric doctor, But once I took Child development classes and parenting it really opened my eyes to another interest and that was being a early childhood education teacher. taking these classes I learned a lot about a parent perspective and childcare teachers as well in certain situations also along with being a teacher studying the different methods and also hands on experience on writing lesson plans and actually interacting with the children. By my senior year I did an internship at a child care facility to experience how a center is ran and the interaction with the children and teachers. After I graduated I worked for Kindercare Learning Center over a year, Children Of America almost 3 years, and a privately owned daycare for over a year before I recently decided to help local families who need care for their children.
