Faatimah $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Faatimah - former teacher/babysitter, current small business owner. I have worked with children for over a decade, and spent the last few years working primarily with one family (two kids, one of whom I helped raise from infancy). I am very comfortable with infants, and spent the last few months doing night nanny duties for a NICU premie after he came home from the hospital. I am very comfortable handling multiple children at once. Open to part-time mornings/ occasional sittings only.

amirah $20 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong background in caregiving that began in my high school years, where I regularly babysat for families in my community. As the second oldest of six girls, I grew up helping care for my five younger sisters, so nurturing, guiding, and supporting children has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable with kids of all ages and understand how to keep them engaged, safe, and cared for. I also have plenty of experience with pets. I grew up with two dogs at my mom’s house and now have one of my own, so I’m very familiar with feeding, walking, and giving animals the attention they need. In addition to childcare and pet care, I’m highly organized and maintain a clean, tidy space. I’m able to help with light housekeeping, daily routines, and anything that keeps a home running smoothly. Overall, I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy supporting families. My mix of experience, personality, and hands-on caregiving makes me a reliable and trustworthy helper.

Valeska $24 per hour for 1 child

I truly enjoy connecting with families and caring for their children. I find it so rewarding to support them as they grow into their little personalities. I have hands on experience working in a pediatricians office as well as on a Mother baby unit at Overlook Hospital where I support moms with their newborns during their postpartum stay. I am BLS certified and can bring a calm, attentive, safety-focused approach to childcare.
