A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Tala Jamal, and I recently moved to Boston after getting married. I’m excited to start this babysitting gig and get to know families! I have a passion for working with children and creating a fun, safe environment for them. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the city, engage in many activities, and baking. I did work at a daycare before getting married in my hometown, New Orleans, and I was also in my college’s babysitting club so I have great experience with kids. I am also the oldest of 5 kids so of course I grew up taking care of them as well. I’m looking forward to bringing my energy and creativity to your home and making sure your little ones have a great time while you’re away!

A little bit about me

My name is Shayla and Im 17 years old and go to chelsea high school. I have experienced with babysitting like little cousins for example but I know I can try to babysit other kids in the meantime. I really just want to make some money in the mean time and something to keep me occupied especially with summer break coming up. I would be grateful to even get a chance at this. I know that it will be hard for me to at least get a chance at this especially with my school schedule but its from 8-2:30pm. I do not have my driving license but i can do any transportation Im really just willing to try.
