"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."

Halina $15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Gilcrest, CO
Hi! My name is Halina, and I am currently a college student home for the summer. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have been working with children since I was 13 years old, and babysat regularly throughout high school. I have babysat children ranging from five months old to thirteen years old, and love every age range! I spent my senior year of high school taking college classes online while nannying a baby from my church during the weekdays. This experience solidified my love for nannying! My responsibilities while babysitting have included basic child care, as well as driving children to extracurriculars and making meals. I am a straight A student who would also be excited and willing to tutor your children if need be! I absolutely adore animals, especially dogs, and have house-sat and pet-sat for various families throughout high school. I have the most experience with dogs and cats, but am quick to learn and down to try anything! I do not have much cooking experience, but I will happily clean and run errands as a household assistant!
