"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.
Jeamy $16 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I'm Jeamy! I'm a dedicated mom and dog lover with a deep passion for caring for others. Originally from the Dominican Republic, I have experience looking after my own daughter and pets, and I truly enjoy providing attentive, loving care. Currently, I work as a front desk supervisor, but I'm looking to do something extra—something I love and comes naturally to me: taking care of children and pets. When you trust me with your loved ones, they become part of my family too! What I Offer: Child Care: I have experience with kids of all ages and love engaging them in fun and educational activities like reading, arts and crafts, singing, dancing, and helping with homework. Pet Care: As a devoted dog mom of two, I understand the importance of proper care, whether it’s walking, feeding, administering medication, or just giving them plenty of love and playtime. Senior Companionship: While I don’t have formal experience in senior care, I’m eager to learn and provide companionship and support. If you're looking for a caring, responsible, and trustworthy caregiver for your child, pet, or loved one, I’d be happy to help!
Delaney $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I'm an FIU student, studying data analytics and business administration. I've got tons of experience with little ones – think toddlers and school-aged kids. I spent a whole summer, and parts of the school year, being a go-to for a fantastic 7-year-old boy. We had a blast! I was there for them for about 3 years, weekends, evenings, homework help, you name it. I'm super easygoing, patient, and gentle. I’m a big reader, so I'm always up for story time. And even if homework isn't their favorite thing, I'm great at finding ways to make it fun and engaging. I'm happy to pitch in with light household stuff too – a little cleaning, unloading the dishwasher, switching laundry, making snacks or dinner, whatever helps make your life a bit easier. I'm a great cook and a reformed picky eater so if you have one of those I'm the girl for the job! Also, I have a tree nut allergy myself, so I totally get the importance of allergy awareness and know how to use an EpiPen. Safety first! I'm excited to meet you and your family!

$15 per hour for 1 child
Hello my name is Geminiaya, I have worked with kids of all ages. I was a summer camp counselor for kids in 5-8 grade and I also babysit my little cousin who just turned 5. I love taking care of children because I always get to see a smile on their face.
“I couldn't have asked for a better babysitter! Geminiaya was absolutely wonderful with my sweet angel. She was kind, patient, and kept my little one entertained the whole time. From fun activities to making sure bedtime went smoothly, everything was handled perfectly. My child couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had! I felt completely at ease knowing that he was in such great hands. I will definitely be booking Geminiaya again. Highly recommend!”
Clarismel $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Clary. I’m a caring, dependable, patient, and responsible caregiver with previous nanny experience and a genuine love for working with children. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and comfortable environment where kids can be themselves, learn, and have fun. I’m attentive to each child’s individual needs and understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can truly trust with their children. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines, meals and snacks, playtime, activities, light housekeeping related to the children, and keeping their space clean and organized. I’m also comfortable around pets and understand the importance of respecting each family’s routines, household rules, and parenting preferences. I’m reliable, organized, nurturing, and easy to communicate with. My goal is to make things a little easier for parents while making sure their children feel safe, cared for, and happy while they’re with me. I’m currently looking to connect with families who need a trustworthy and dependable nanny or babysitter, whether that’s for consistent care or occasional help. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see if I would be a good fit!
