"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."

Ester $20 per hour for 1 child
I’ve babysat and had nanny jobs since being a teenager, I’ve always loved babies and kids! I worked at an afterschool program for a total of 5 years as well. I have three sons of my own and truly love every stage kids go through! I have always found it easy and natural to connect with kids of every age. I genuinely care about them and the experiences they are having and love becoming like an older sister/auntie figure in their life. I love being present with them! I find playing games, playing sports, being creative, or just hanging out can be such fun opportunities that bring real connection.

Hi My name is Miriam but everyone calls me Mia. I work as a Pediatric Dental Assistant so experience with kids is a given. I work well with all ages 0 months to teens. I speak fluent English and Spanish and my personality is very bubbly. I love working with kids and I am great with kids who require a lot of TLC when scared or nervous. I have experience with special needs patients and I adapt very well in these circumstances. I love teaching kids new things and helping them understand everyday subjects or matters they do not comprehend. My level of patience is out of this world and I love to make little ones laugh. I am also a live in nanny every other week and have been for the past 7years.
“Mia is awesome! She has a bubbly personality and was wonderful with our 1 yr old son. I would hire her again anytime. Absolutely recommend!”
Megan $25 per hour for 1 child
