"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."

$18 per hour for 1 child
Hi, my name is Robbi. I am an active, reliable, and caring individual with experience working with children as a part-time nanny, as well as volunteering with kids in group settings. I truly enjoy creating a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children can learn, play, and feel supported. I love staying active, planning fun adventures, and encouraging creativity through hands-on activities. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each child’s unique needs, and I take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. In addition to childcare, I have experience caring for dogs and cats through Rover and am very comfortable around pets. I also help with light house cleaning and taking care of the home to keep things organized and running smoothly. I am excited about the opportunity to support families and provide dependable, compassionate care.

Hey, I'm Damaris! I'm 19 and in college! I really enjoy being around kids and l've been babysitting my cousins, family friends, and neighbors over the past few years. I'm patient, caring, and easy to get along with. I can help with homework, play games, or just keep the kids busy and safe while you're out. I'm easy to work with, reliable, and always make sure to follow directions.

She’s a great babysitter, and whoever gets the chance to work with her is lucky to experience a stress-free situation when it comes to childcare!”

Isra Lakeville

$17 per hour for 1 child
My name is Isra . I am a 19 year old, part-time working, college student. I have experience when it comes to children, meaning watching my families children on a needed basis. I have watched multiple children at a time ages ranging from 6 month to 15 years. I am very flexible when it comes to parents and what they want for their kids. I would contact parents with updates, unless parents suggest to be contacted on an emergency basis. I am willing to work on homework with children, do feedings, diaper changes, bath-times, and bedtime. Upon the parents request I can also do simple task around the house such as cleaning up, doing dishes, picking up after the children and a reasonable amount of laundry. I believe for that to be up to the parents.
