"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Taylor $17 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I am Taylor and I am 34 years old. I am originally from Montevallo, AL area and recently moved back to Birmingham. I fell in love with childcare about 16 years ago when I worked in a daycare and since then have been a nanny, worked as a substitute for k-12 and worked in the nursery at my church. I am currently employed at a local preschool and work with children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. My passion is working with infants and toddlers but I also have experience with older kids as well. I am applying through Care. com to hopefully pick up more work because I am saving up money so that I can go back to school.
Sadie $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi my name is Sadie! I am 18 and in college currently. I love working with kids and also animals. Some experience that I have had include, running birthday parties for kids aged 4-12 yrs old at my old job, babysitting my younger sister as she has grown up, and volunteering at a summer camp for kids with special needs. Some experience with animals include, working at a doggy daycare and also growing up with four cats. I have also taken a CPR course before taking a life guarding course. I quite enjoy spending time with kids and helping out parents in any way! I can also cook and clean. I would say I am quite attentive and caring!
