"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."

Marci $20 per hour for 1 child
I am a certified nursing assistant as well as a yoga teacher. I’ve been in hospitality for over 10 years. I’m very patient, friendly and love to be around people. My grandmother and I would watch all my mom’s friend’s children while they were at work from Infants to toddlers and I also worked at a gym teaching them poses. I do enjoy being of service to others who need it when I have the time, it brings me purpose in life. I’m very reliable and a trustworthy person.

Ellyson $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello! I was born and raised in Boulder, CO, and I have a significant amount of experience babysitting for friends and neighbors. I love spending time with kids and plan to have my own someday. I’m always learning from them! I recently moved back to Miami from London, UK, where I was working in tech. I am now on a career break, working as a hostess at the 1 Hotel South Beach and an entrepreneurial venture in my free time. I am looking for occasional or part time babysitting opportunities. I always make sure to clean up spaces after kids use them (e. g. washing dishes after meals), and I do my best to engage kids in activities like games and crafts as opposed to TV and video games. I am a very active person myself and I enjoy being energetic and lively around kids! In past summers, I volunteered on two organic farms in Italy where I was responsible for watching 2 boys (ages 6 and 9), cooking, cleaning rooms and bathrooms for a retreat center, and caring for 11 animals. This summer I babysat my boyfriend’s 13 year old niece and 6 year old nephew in Italy, on multiple occasions. Please contact me if you would like to learn more about my experience. Thank you!
Tasha $20 per hour for 1 child
A single mom of 5 grown children, I have years of experience with children of all ages. Pet lover since I was born and raised on a large farm with all types of animals. My passion is professional organizing so would be thrilled to come in and clean and organize your home.
