"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 Lauren and I am 28 years old. I have a full time job as a financial analyst during the day and I’m usually free after work and occasionally on weekends. I love working with kids, being around children always puts a smile to my face. I have experience in babysitting for 5 years during college and a few years after. I’ve worked with kids in various ages from infant to teenagers. I love being outdoors and taking walks outside if the weather is nice, if not I have a variety of board games and movies to enjoy indoors.

“I got stuck in DC because of flight cancellations and ending up with my 3 year old daughter and prep meeting with clients for an important next day meeting. Mary Beth arrived at the hotel promptly (in advance) and with only a request that afternoon. My daughter loved her. Indeed, she was able to do things with Patina that are hard for me -- get her to draw, tell stories, get her PJs on, and get into bed on time. Terrific.”
