"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."

Valentyna 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
$30 per hour for 1 child
Hi - My name is Val. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 18 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.
“Valentyna has been a wonderful caregiver for our young children. She is consistently punctual, incredibly responsible, and always communicates clearly, which gives us complete peace of mind. Beyond her professionalism, Valentyna is a genuinely kind person. Because she is a mother herself, she brings a deep level of understanding, empathy, and patience to her caregiving. We highly recommend her to any family looking for someone reliable and wonderful!”

Olivia $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m a college junior (Texas Christian University, Neeley School of Business) currently home for the summer working part-time at a law office. I’m available several afternoons, and most evenings and weekends—and I’d love to help with babysitting, tutoring, pet sitting, dog walking, or running errands. I’m a reliable, nurturing, and outgoing person who truly enjoys spending time with kids and animals. I have strong communication skills and take pride in being someone families can count on. I’m very active and love being outdoors, whether that means playing games with kids, going on walks, or keeping pets engaged and happy. I have a car so I’m flexible and dependable when it comes to getting where I need to be. I have 6 years of experience and am happy to provide references upon request. Looking forward to connecting soon!

Booked by 1 family in Loma Mar, CA
Hello! I come from a very, very large family from the Midwest. I am the second oldest of 16 grandkids so I was always the de facto babysitter. I love animals, especially my dog. I also love to read and go out into nature. I have a Bachelor’s of Science in Journalism from Ohio University and a Master’s of Arts in Communication from Arizona State University. I truly love school and learning! I would still be in school now learning something new if I could. I am willing to do whatever the kids want to do. Play in the backyard? Sure! Create a new art project for the parents? Or course! Go for a walk and look at nature? Sign me up!
