"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."

Growing up my grandma owned a daycare and I would help her take care of kids and plan arts and crafts time for them. I also have recent experience over the past 2 summers of working at a stay away camp looking over multiple different age groups of kids over the age of 6 full time. After my first summer I was promoted to leader of my cabin group and have learned to keep things together, better my communication, and still keep kids happy! Pets wise, I have 3 cats and a dog so I know how to manage!

Hello! I just moved here from Charlotte, NC where I finished my Masters studies while being a student athlete (track and field). I worked for 3 years on the Bambino babysitting app and love spending time with kids :). I’m very disciplined and reliable.
Julia $19 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Julia, a dependable and friendly babysitter with experience caring for my younger cousins of all ages. I’m great with kids, love engaging them in fun and creative activities, and always make safety a top priority. I have my own car, a valid driver’s license, and I’m happy to help with pick-ups, drop-offs, or running errands. I’m responsible, punctual, and flexible to fit your family’s needs. Looking forward to meeting you!
Leilani $20 per hour for 1 child
Each child is a unique gift, and as a doula and aspiring youth pastor, I feel called to support them in their growth and development. I'm looking for babysitting and nannying opportunities where I can provide nurturing, reliable care while creating a safe space for children to learn, play, and thrive. I have experience working with children ages 2 months to 12 years old and love engaging kids through creative activities, homework help, outdoor play, and more. I'm available for both regular care and occasional sitting and bring patience, enthusiasm, and a genuine commitment to supporting both children and their families.
