"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."

Bianca $20 per hour for 1 child
I’m a responsible, dependable, and caring person who enjoys working with kids and helping families when they need an extra hand. I recently started babysitting more regularly and have experience caring for young and school-aged children. I’m comfortable keeping kids entertained, preparing simple meals and snacks, helping with routines, and making sure they’re safe and well cared for while their parents are away. I’m patient, attentive, and easygoing, but I also understand the importance of following the routines and expectations parents have for their children. I’m happy to help with light cleanup related to the kids and I’m also comfortable around pets. I have a dog of my own, so pets in the home are never an issue for me. I work full-time during the week, so I’m primarily looking to help families with occasional babysitting, evenings, weekends, date nights, or other times when an extra set of hands is needed. I’m reliable, communicative, and want parents to feel comfortable knowing their kids are in good hands while they’re away.
