Tinbit $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Tinbit, and I’m currently offering babysitting and childcare services in the area 🤍 I have over 3 years of experience working as a special needs caregiver in Ethiopia, where I provided dedicated, patient, and personalized care to children. This experience has shaped me to be extremely attentive, understanding, and compassionate in how I care for every child. I also currently serve as a Sunday school teacher (8 months - Present), where I guide and care for children in a structured and supportive environment. In addition, I’ve worked in fast-paced settings assisting with large events, which strengthened my responsibility and organization. I grew up in a large family and attended an international school, so I’m very comfortable with children from all backgrounds and personalities. I truly love being around kids, their honesty, joy, and the way they find happiness in the smallest things is something I deeply value. I’m nurturing, uplifting, and also firm when needed, creating a balanced and positive environment. I strongly believe that childhood is one of the most important stages of life, and I aim to be a trustworthy and positive presence in every child’s life. I am reliable, patient, and committed to making both children and parents feel safe and supported. If you’re looking for a babysitter or nanny, feel free to message me—I would love to connect! 🤍

Natalie 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Caring for children has always been a meaningful part of my life. I began by helping raise my sister, who is 13 years younger than me, and over the years I’ve cared for cousins, friends’ children, and others in my community. I started babysitting in high school and continued for several years, both professionally and informally, developing experience with children of all ages—from infants to pre-teens (up to 12 years old). I am confident and capable in managing routines, playtime, meals, and the unique personalities of each child. In addition to childcare, I’ve worked in fast-paced environments such as law firms, World Bank events and high-end restaurants, which has honed my organizational skills, ability to multitask, and calmness under pressure. I’m family-oriented, creative and culturally diverse. English is my first language and I speak perfect Spanish. I’m also familiar with Arabic language and culture, allowing me to connect with children from different backgrounds. With a foundation in arts and hospitality, I enjoy engaging kids through creativity, interactive play, and making meals fun and appealing. I’ve recently returned to babysitting as a way to earn extra income doing something I genuinely love, and I take the responsibility very seriously!

“Natalie is incredible with my kids and is such a fun, engaging, and genuinely interesting person. She has a natural ability to connect with children in a way that feels both relatable and grounding, while still keeping things structured and functional. She is extremely trustworthy, kind, and responsible, and you can immediately tell that caregiving comes naturally to her. My kids adore her, and I always feel completely at ease knowing they are in her care. Your children will be in excellent hands with Natalie.”

"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!"
