"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."

Hi! My name is Nina, and I’m a responsible and caring babysitter with a 90-hour childcare certification and hands-on experience from my stepmom’s in-home daycare and working at my high school’s preschool. As a pre-nursing student, I’m passionate about providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids. I love engaging children in creative activities like arts and crafts, as well as helping with homework, bedtime routines, and light meal prep. My goal is to make sure both kids and parents feel comfortable and happy while I’m around. I’d love to help out! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Hi! My name is Marianna and I am 23 years old. I'm a reliable and easygoing sitter with 8 years of experience caring for children ages 1-13. I currently work full-time during the week (9-5), so I'm available for weeknight and weekend babysitting. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment--whether that's playing outside, doing crafts, board games, movie nights, helping with homework, or just keeping them entertained and happy while you're away. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children at once and am happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and pet care as needed. I also have reliable transportation and am comfortable driving for school pickups, activities, errands, etc. Families describe me as patient, dependable, calm, and approachable, and I always try to make both parents and kids feel comfortable. I'm happy to provide references upon request and would love the opportunity to support your family however I can!
