"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."

Gigi $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi everyone! I’m Gigi and I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been babysitting since high school and worked at a daycare throughout college, giving me experience caring for children of all ages with most of my time being spent with toddlers! I’m also a dog owner to a boxer and a bulldog/pit mix, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets. I’m responsible, patient, and reliable, and am happy to help with activities, homework, meals, daily routines, bedtime, and household tasks. Heads up- I do work full time so my availability is early mornings during the week, late nights, and free all weekends! Excited to work with you and your family! :)
