"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."

Lizbeth $23 per hour for 1 child
I'd describe my personality as a patient, responsible, good listener, love being around kids, loving, and caring I like working with kids because I love having young kids around especially when they are at the age that they still enjoy playing and learning. I'm looking for a job that will be flexible and also a job that I enjoy doing especially during school and I would want to have more job experience with working with children for the future. I started working with kids when I started my college year. I've had the opportunity to work with children the past 2 years and it's been an amazing experience. In my spare time, I like to go to the gym. I usually like to hangout with my friends as well and I like going to my brother's soccer game especially on the weekends One thing you should know about me is I am a very responsible and kind person. My skills include being patient, make sure they are well attended, making sure they feel safe and comfortable

I love all children and all animals. I don’t mind doing housework like cleaning up in the kitchen either. I’m comfortable cooking for your children as well. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 :)

Mikaylah $21 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Mikaylah, I am currently a college student majoring in liberal studies striving to be an elementary teacher one day. I have about 4 years experience working with school aged children. I taught swim lessons to young kids ages 2-16. I have 2 years worth of instructional aide experience at a few different elementary schools. I also have lots of babysitting experience working with children ages 1-10. I love working with kids because they bring so much joy to the environment, I am more than happy to watch your kids on a date night for parents or just any occasion you have planned/need to get out of the house! I am very much an animal person, I love cats, dogs, turtles, most likely any kind of animal I love! I would more than happy to just be an occasional babysitter or something a little more serious if needed. I am just looking for some extra experience in childcare while I continue my education and I would love to look after with your kiddos :)
