"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."

Yvonne $23 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Yvonne, and I am a responsible, caring, and trustworthy nanny with hands-on experience caring for children of different ages. I currently work as a nanny and I’m looking to fill in extra days when I’m available. I am a mom of two children, which has given me a deep understanding of children’s needs, routines, and emotional care. I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and structured environment where kids feel comfortable and happy. I am flexible and always respectful of parents’ preferences and routines. I have my own car and reliable transportation. I’m also comfortable caring for pets, as I have a dog myself and love animals. My primary language is Spanish, and I have an intermediate level of English. I am always open to learning and improving my language skills. I take my work seriously and treat every family and child with care, patience, and respect. I would love the opportunity to support your family!
Sarah $20 per hour for 1 child
I’m a kind, caring, and extroverted sitter who loves creating a safe and supportive environment where kids can feel comfortable being themselves. I have experience working with children through babysitting family members, volunteering in an elementary school, and completing a semester-long teaching experience with 5th-grade students. I currently volunteer weekly with kindergarteners in an afterschool program and assist in 5th/6th-grade science classrooms. I’m patient, dependable, and very comfortable communicating with kids. I enjoy taking the time to listen to children and help them put their thoughts, feelings, and needs into words in a respectful way. I love playing games, getting creative, and keeping kids engaged, and I truly don’t mind watching the same movie or listening to the same song for the hundredth time! I’m also BLS/CPR certified for infants, children, and adults, bilingual in Spanish, and happy to help with homework, tutoring, meals, and school pickup/walking home.
