Hello! I’m Amina, and I have several years of babysitting experience with kids of all ages. As a caregiver, I would describe myself as nurturing, patient, and kind. Your child’s emotional and physical wellbeing are important to me! You can expect me to be fully engaged with your children. A few activities I might do with them (depending on their age and interests) are reading stories, doing crafts projects, playing board games, making friendship bracelets, or playing with outdoor chalk. My priority is to keep your children happy, healthy, and safe. If you choose to book with me, you can count on me to be dependable and attentive. Thanks for reading and please reach out if you have any questions!
“Amina was a fantastic sitter for my 2 boys. She was friendly, caring, compassionate and playful. Highly recommend!”
Hello, my name is Madison and I absolutely love children and getting to be apart of their lives, whether it's taking care of them, looking after them, building personal connections, or all three! I am a very outgoing, loving, bubbly person that is so excited to find the perfect family to care for! Even though I have only been a caretaker on this app for a short period of time, I have been working with children for almost 7 years and have lots of references that I would be more than happy to give to you if you are considering me as a candidate to take care of your children!
I left my unfulfilling job to reboot and find a new one. I love creativity and coming up with fun ideas and would be happy to look after your children and pets. I am responsible and follow instructions carefully. **Bookings within 24 hours: $45/hour **

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
