"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."

Elizabeth $17 per hour for 1 child
Hello All! I am Elizabeth a college student who is currently studying History. I have worked with children for the past few years as an overnight camp counselor and for before/after school programs. I have a fun personality and enjoy working with kids. Currently I hold a first aid, CPR and Wilderness First Responder certifications. I love the outdoors and spent most of my time in childcare outdoors!
Mariam $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello, I come from a big family, I have six siblings and have played a role in taking care of them as I’m the oldest! I’m very flexible with my schedule, however, I do have a current part time job that fluctuates. But, I’m more than willing to find a compromise! I’ve babysat numerous children that have different personalities; so it’s very easy for me to adapt! I can help with homework, reading, and any activities that are needed. For senior related care, I’m able to help with grooming, cleaning, groceries, and most important; companionship! I love communicating and having a conversation!
Carolee $20 per hour for 1 child
I am looking to find a family that wants a hands on, caring and very interactive nanny/babysitter.. I love to read to and do crafts with my littles and I believe in fresh air and running around outdoors! I have cared for infants to pre teens and I have great recommendations from my previous full time nanny jobs! I also lived with my Dad for the last 2-1/2 years of his life at an Independent living center. I loved making friends with so many vibrant and interesting people there.

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.
“Damaris is my neighbor and has babysat my daughter here and there during the summer! She is extremely responsible, caring, and attentive. My daughter, who is 5 years old, really loves her! 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!”
