"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."

Simone $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi families! My name is Simone and I’m currently 22 years old. I’ve worked with kids from newborns up to school age! I have 4 years old experience working with young children and I have such a passion and love for them! I enjoy playing with them, as well as, watching them grow up and experience new things on their own. It such a beautiful moment to watch a child walk for the first time, say their first word, or even learn how to ride a bike for the first time! I can’t wait to get to know your beautiful families. :)

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lincoln, CA
I worked for Roseville Unified School District in the TK/kinder classroom as an Instructional aide for Math/Phonics Fulltime for 2 years. Raised a family of 5 children in Granite Bay and have lived here for 39 years. I love kids! I love to play sports of all kinds with children, crafts, and all types of art. My passion is to help a child develop their Inner strength and self confidence through educational structure and games, making it so fun they don’t even realize their growing and learning. To watch, learn, and grow with a child is the greatest of life’s gifts I could ever have.
“Julie is an exceptional nanny. Her positive attitude and calm demeanor made everything effortless, even in challenging situations. Her communication skills were impeccable. Our 7-month-old child instantly bonded with her. She is highly experienced and worth every penny. Our little one was out of routine and away from us for the first time that evening. Julie handled the situation exceptionally well. Will hire her again!”
