"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."

I love kids of all ages & have a lot of patience. I’ve been a nanny, babysitter, & gymnastics teacher. I’m currently in nursing school specifically wanting to be a pediatric nurse. I have a flexible schedule, drive my own car, CPR certified, & overall know how to bring a smile to a kid.
Jeannette $20 per hour for 1 child
I am currently working as a part time care giver and helps take care of my grandchildren ages 2, 7 and 9 on my days off. I used to work as a teacher aide when I first arrived in the US, I decided to leave to help my daughter when she first gave birth, now her kids are older and I am looking for something meaningful to do on my free days.

Hazel $17 per hour for 1 child
I am a senior in high school with a strong passion for working with children. I have taken a Child Development class for two years, where I have learned a lot about child growth and care. Through this class and other experiences, I have worked with children as young as three years old up to almost five-year-olds. I truly enjoy engaging with kids. I love playing with them, talking to them, and creating fun. In addition, I am actively involved at my church every Sunday, where I work with children aged 5 to 10. I help supervise activities, play with them, and encourage positive interaction. I also have experience caring for animals. I have three dogs that I have cared for over the past four years, and I also offer dog-walking services. This experience has taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness qualities I bring to all childcare responsibilities. Overall, my experience with children and animals has given me the skills to provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for any child.

I also have 2.5 years of experience as a nanny and Spanish tutor. I currently work as an Environmental, Health & Safety Specialist, which has strengthened my knowledge of safety, emergency preparedness, and creating safe environments. I truly enjoy working with children and would be happy to provide your little ones with a safe, fun, and caring environment!
