"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."

Olivia $31 per hour for 1 child
Hello, I'm Olivia! I work in healthcare and love working with families. I'm reliable and I have firm boundaries. I'm curious and one hundred percent engaged. Happy to help with homework, run errands, cook, do chores and of course spend time with your kids. I want to support in any way that I can because being a parent is hard. I'm available after 5pm on weekdays. I like some flexibility on weekends will room for accommodation.

“We feel fortunate for our children to be under the care of Angel. She is truly a professional and my toddler immediately took to her. I’ve never seen anything like it. Every time she comes to our house she brings something new and interesting. I feel like her time with our children isn’t just about watching them but is also about enriching and educating them. On top of that she’s prompt and an excellent communicator. I sincerely appreciate her so much and think any family would be lucky to work with her. ”
