"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."

Lilli $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi, my name is Lilli. I'm a sophomore at Central Connecticut State University. I am originally from North Carolina. I received a wrestling scholarship at Western New England in Massachusetts, but I transferred to focus more on my studies and to be with family here in CT. I'm currently studying exercise science with the goal of becoming a physical therapist along with maybe teaching as well. I truly enjoy working with children of all ages and believe my background and passion for helping others make me a great fit for any situation involving kids. Being one of the oldest in my big family has been such a beautiful journey. I love watching my younger siblings and cousins grow up as I needed to step up a lot and help them. Back home in my community I coached youth league wrestlers. It fills my heart with joy to be part of their lives. From playing games to helping them with anything, every moment with them is precious. I've learned a lot and can do a lot! Can't wait for more opportunities!!
