"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."

Astarrian $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Astarrian (uh-star-ree-in) you can call me Starr for short! I am currently a behavioral therapist working with young children with autism and have a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I also am in the process pursuing a masters degree within ABA. I am offering child care, which has been one of my passions for years. I am known to be the young aunty in my family so I have a lot of experience with taking care of young children, toddlers, and babies under 1 years old. I not only can provide care taking responsibilities but I can also provide creative play for your child!
