"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."

Norma $35 per hour for 1 child
My name is Norma and I have 2 daughters of my own. I’ve taken care of all my nieces and nephews, including my friends kids. I’m very bubbly, kind, gentle and very caring with kids and babies and animals. I love cooking and cleaning, having everything in order is key for me. I also have my BLS certification so I know how to react and what to do in a CPR scenario.
Savannah $22 per hour for 1 child
I am a college student majoring in Psychology and currently pursuing certifications as a Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). I have recently completed a CPR/AED certification course and have more than three years of experience providing childcare. My experience includes babysitting, pet care, cooking, and performing basic household responsibilities such as cleaning and laundry. I also have professional experience as an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Behavior Technician, where I worked with individuals on the autism spectrum, including individuals who were nonverbal. This experience strengthened my ability to provide attentive, compassionate, and individualized care. I enjoy working with children and take pride in creating a safe, supportive, and responsible environment. I understand the importance of maintaining awareness of children’s whereabouts and well-being at all times while ensuring they feel comfortable, cared for, and respected.
Natalie $24 per hour for 1 child
I am a friendly, caring, and energetic caretaker! I have 4 years of classroom experience as a preschool teacher and an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education. I hope to work with your family as I support myself through my Bachelor’s Degree in Child Development. I am passionate about children and love to work alongside them! Aside from working with your children, I am happy to assist with light housework, meal preparation, or any other tasks I can do to make your lives easier!
