Nadia Mohammad Ali
Downtown, Boston$22.95/hr  |  10+ years experience
I love being a sitter because it allows me to make a positive impact on children’s lives by providing them with a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. I enjoy engaging with children through creative activities, helping them learn new things, and watching them grow and develop. The joy and energy that children bring are incredibly rewarding, and I find great satisfaction in being a part of their lives. Additionally, I have volunteered at a local daycare center, which provided me with valuable experience in managing multiple children at once and understanding their diverse needs. I am certified in CPR and First Aid, which ensures that I am prepared to handle any emergencies that may arise. I have strong communication skills, which help me effectively interact with both children and parents. My organizational skills allow me to plan engaging activities and manage time efficiently.

Chelsea Acquah
Boston$22/hr  |  5 years experience
My name is Chelsea Barbara and I have over five years of paid experience working with children of all ages from infants to school-aged kids. I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving space where children feel free to grow, learn, and just be themselves.

In each role, I bring patience, care, and a genuine love for children. I’ve helped with everything from bottle feeding and diaper changes to school drop-offs, homework help, and fun activities like crafts, outdoor play, and reading time. I’m also happy to assist with light cleaning and meal prep when needed.

Families I’ve worked with often describe me as dependable, easy to talk to, and someone their children naturally connect with. I understand that every family is different, and I do my best to adjust and support in any way I can.

I’d truly love the opportunity to work with your family and offer care you can count on.
