"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."

Hello! I’m Jordan and I have been working in childcare since 2015. I went to a tech high school and got my preschool certification there and then went on to a community college and got certified with working with infants and toddlers. Working with children is my passion and it fills my heart with so much joy! I’m patient, loving, a big kid at heart, and give my all with everything that I do. I am mainly looking for night care and occasional date nights. I look forward to meeting you!

Hi! I’m Sabrina — a college student and part-time Behavior Therapist with a passion for working with children. I’ve been a BT for the past year, supporting kids with autism and a wide range of behavioral needs, from ages 2 to 11. I’ve received professional training in managing tantrums, emotional regulation, and challenging behaviors—and I genuinely love what I do. I can clean, provide transportation, play, and do other necessary tasks! I’m also CPR certified (as of March) and always prioritize creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment for every child in my care. Whether you’re looking for someone patient, energetic, or experienced with special needs, I’m here to help. I’m excited to meet your family and provide the best care possible!

$18 per hour for 1 child
Hello, my name is Nicole and I am a 20 year old student-athlete who is back in town for winter break. I have grown up surrounded by so much family, which I am extremely grateful for. I have years of experience watching three of my younger cousins, ages from an infant, a three year old, and a five year old. Additionally, I watched over my high school volleyball coach’s three kids with similar ages, and several different families who associated with her! My mom raised three children herself, so I understand how difficult it can be to balance work and finding care for your child. While I’m home, I’d love to help as much as possible with the additional time I have!

Hi! My name is Hilary, and I’m a nursing student at Simmons University. I’m genuinely passionate about well-being, caregiving, and helping families feel supported. I’m also interested in pediatrics long-term, so working with kids is something I take seriously and truly enjoy. I have been a care taker for more than 5 years. I’m offering care for children ages 2–10 and also senior care,companionship. I have experience working in assisted living, so I’m comfortable supporting older adults with patience, respect, and attention to safety. I can help with babysitting and age-appropriate play/activities (2–10), meal prep / light cooking, light cleaning and tidying up, run errands and helpful tasks around the house. I’m reliable, calm, patient, and caring. I pay attention to details, I communicate clearly, and I take safety seriously. I’m the type of person who shows up on time, follows instructions, and treats your home and your loved ones with respect. If you’re looking for someone dependable and warm to support your child or an older family member, feel free to message me
