"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."

Danelle $20 per hour for 1 child
I am a loving mother of two boys and a devoted wife, and I know firsthand how hard it can be to leave your children in someone else’s care. As a stay-at-home mom, I understand the trust parents place in a caregiver and take that responsibility to heart. I am patient, nurturing, and committed to creating a safe, happy, and supportive environment for children. I also love to cook and enjoy preparing warm, home-cooked meals that bring comfort and joy to the whole family.
Rebeca $30 per hour for 1 child
I am a Professional Nanny with over 15 years experience taking care of children of all ages, including multiple siblings at the same time. I take care of all children as if they were my own. I am nurturing, caring, and will always have their best interest in mind. I always look forward to meeting with parents to truly customize the experience, after all, no 2 kids are the same! Discussions include food preferences, personal habits, restrictions, etc. Maintaining a safe and positive environment is very important to me. I enjoy preparing various activities, playing games, and meal preparation. I can be available to help with laundry, grocery shopping, assist your children with their studies as well as assist in pick ups and drop offs as needed. I know it's not easy to leave your children alone with someone new, but rest assured, they will be in great, comforting, and patient hands. I look forward to meeting with you and your family soon!
