Abrielle
Hello! My name is Abrielle Registre, I’ve worked with kids from ages 5 and older as a camp counselor, and a babysitter! I’ve watched around 12 kids at one time while working as a camp counselor and watched 3 to 5 kids at a time as a babysitter. I enjoy working with kids. I’m a very patient level headed person when watching children I will always stick to the rules and instructions given to me by parents and guardians when your children are in my care!, and would love the opportunity to watch over them if given!

Elena
Hi! My name is Elena, and I have over eight years of babysitting experience caring for children ranging from 6 months to 12 years old. I am responsible, patient, and enjoy creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing activities, preparing simple meals, or keeping up with busy schedules, I strive to be a dependable and positive presence for both children and parents. I am currently a student at Boston College and spend my summers in Austin. I look forward to meeting your family!

I am a reliable and creative professional with extensive knowledge in child development. I hold a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education from University of Maryland , and have experience working with young children with special needs. My background includes working with multiple Early Intervention Programs, where I have supported families and guided them through their child’s developmental stages. Besides English, I also speak Portuguese and Spanish. I am currently seeking additional hours babysitting newborns and toddlers (up to 2 years old). I live in the Burlington ,MA area.

Rachel
Hi! I’m Rachel. I grew up as the middle child with an older brother and a younger brother, so taking care of kids has pretty much been part of my life from the start. I spent a lot of time helping with my little brother, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to handle the unexpected. I also have a dog at home, so I’m super comfortable around pets and love having them around while I’m babysitting. Last summer, I worked as a camp counselor at a drowning-prevention camp in Uganda, where I helped kids ages 4–12. It was one of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had, and it really strengthened my ability to work with different personalities and energy levels. I currently tutor a few middle schoolers in science over Zoom and have experience teaching a student with ADHD, so I’m familiar with supporting different learning needs. I also help my friends’ younger siblings with homework pretty often. Overall, I love being around kids, staying engaged with them, and creating a fun and safe environment. I’d be excited to get to know your family!

Kostoula
Hi my name is Kostoula Dalavouras. I have hands-on experience in early childhood education, where I focus on supporting and nurturing the developmental needs of young children. In addition to my professional background, I also have personal experience caring for my neighbors kids and my 1-year-old godson and my nephews, who are 1.5 and 2 years old. This has given me a deep understanding of the different stages of development and the needs of children at various ages. I enjoy babysitting on weekends and weekday nights, creating a safe, engaging, and fun environment where kids can thrive. Whether through play, learning, or offering comfort, I love seeing children grow and develop in a positive, supportive atmosphere.

Maia
I have limited but meaningful, informal childcare experience, including babysitting a coworker’s three-year-old child. Through this, I’ve developed basic skills in supervision, safety, communication, and age-appropriate care. I am currently enrolled in an EMT course, which is strengthening my responsibility, situational awareness, and ability to remain calm in dynamic environments. I am eager to gain additional hands-on experience working with children and to continue building skills in caregiving, safety, and support.

Grace
Hi! My name is Grace and I’m a senior nursing student at Northeastern University. I’ve completed Pediatric and Maternity clinicals and currently help in a middle school health office doing school-nurse triage, caring for students with minor injuries and illnesses. I’m CPR certified, great with pets, and have babysitting experience with a sweet 3-year-old girl — including school pick-ups and in-home care in a house with both a dog and a cat. I’m patient, reliable, and love creating a fun and safe environment for kids of all ages. Excited to meet your family!

Emily
Hi! I’m an energetic soul who loves music and crafts. I approach children with compassion and understanding, though I will not hesitate to put my foot down when it comes to safety. I love encouraging movement and creativity, I find they are the best ways to promote independence, confidence, problem-solving, and connection while releasing their energy in a positive way! I’ve worked in schools with children ages 1 to 7 and am finishing up my associates degree in elementary education in the fall.
