"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."

Elisabeth $30 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Lizzy and I'm offering my services as a creative and arts-focused babysitter. I grew up in an artist family and have a lot of experience with exploring all the arts. I have a knack for inspiring kids to get drawing, painting, singing, sculpture, dancing, and playing. I was raised biculutrally French and American and I can easily adapt to international families. I speak fluent French and I have a B1.3 level in Spanish. I can also speak conversational German. I’ve lived in Germany and France as well, and spent some time in Italy, Mexico, and Portugal. I'm allergic to cats and dogs unfortunately, but can be around hypoallergenic dogs without problems. I'm a tidy person, and good at organising! I can help tidy and organise your house, do shopping, etc. Thank you and hope to hear from you!
