"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."

Zaira $17 per hour for 1 child
Hiii! I grew up in a divorced household with mostly just my dad around. I was left unattended a lot with my older sister and I always felt unsafe. Now as an older teenager, I just want to provide that safety and comfort of having someone there to children. I really want to be a teacher for younger kids, that’s why I try to babysit to get as much experience as possible. I love to do hands on interactive activities and I also love to be outside. I can also cook, bake, and clean!!

I have tutored (in math) and babysat children for almost 10 years. I babysat my own siblings and my neighbors' children as well. (I am CPR trained, have a car, and I love animals!)
“Kufre was punctual and friendly, my 2 girls had a fun time playing hide and seek with her and playing games with her. We will definitely be hiring her again.”
