"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! My name is Helen, and I am an experienced babysitter, tutor, and teacher. I recently passed the bar exam and am looking to pick up some occasional work during my full-time job search. I love the outdoors and engaging children in imaginative play and prefer to minimize screen time when possible. I like helping kids create, learn, and have fun in ways that build their independence and self-esteem, while maintaining a safe and supportive environment. I look forward to working with you and your child(ren)!
“Helen was professional and communicated well, on time, and the kids loved her.”

Hi families! I’m a former au pair and professional nanny of 4 years. I have 900+ verified hours as a volunteer at a daycare in South Africa. I’m a quick learner and can easily adapt to new routines and responsibilities. I do have a valid driver’s license with driving experience in all weather conditions and different car types. I am comfortable around small dogs and friendly cats. I am comfortable with light house cleaning(light sweeping, dishes, light laundry, tidying up) and can assist with homework. I am a bit silly and fun but always within reason. If needed I can whip up quick meals too!
