"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! I’m Simone and I’m new to the area. I am a educated business professional looking to bring in some extra money. I am 24 years old and have experience as a preschool teacher and children’s dance teacher. I have also volunteered at a senior care facility and the boys and girls club. I love to use my creativity by painting , dancing, and cooking. I enjoy going outdoors when it’s nice outside and movies! I had a corgi named Monty for 16 years and now I am most recently an auntie!
Heather $18 per hour for 1 child
I am a 29 year old graduate student with years of experience with children of all ages. I am currently earning my graduate degree to become a licensed mental health counselor. Over the years I have been a full time nanny, part time sitter, as well as an early intervention specialist. I worked with families and their children on successfully meeting developmentally appropriate milestone markers with newborns all the way to 18 years old. Currently working part time and have a flexible schedule to pick up sitter shifts or other errands needed. I love working with children and their families, meeting new people, and l love animals!

Hi! My name is Francesca, and I am a graduate student-athlete currently completing my master’s degree in Talent and Organization Development at Queens University. I am part of the women’s triathlon team at Queens and have several years of babysitting experience and truly enjoy supporting families and caring for children. I am happy to assist with light household tasks related to childcare and am comfortable working with families who have pets.
Aubrey $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Aubrey! I’m currently looking for an extra source of income and I figured it would be nice to do something I enjoy. I grew up being babysat and babysitting/petsitting! I enjoy being around kids and animals as I have many little cousins (of all ages really) and find it very rewarding to take care of them. In fact, one of my favorite jobs was working at a sleep away camp where I was directly responsible for 10 girls from 9-10 years old. Without getting too detailed I served as a role model and maternal figure for the kids and I loved it! I would love to work with you and your kids/pets!
Grace $22 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I'm Grace! I am an experienced and reliable nanny. I have worked as a part-time nanny/babysitter for close to 2 years, plus I have had years of experience caring for kids and babysitting my 5 younger siblings. My professional experience is with age ranges from newborn - 12 years. I am also very comfortable with newborns so helping a mom transition back into work by caring for her baby will be no issue at all! I love creativity and adventure, and love spending time with kids doing fun activities, playing outside, and going out and about. I’m always down for arts and crafts, dancing, baking, reading, and so much more! I’m good at sticking to routines and cleaning up after the kids and myself. I have safe and reliable transportation and a valid driver license and am willing to drive the kids when needed. I can also provide references. I would love to talk more about what nannying for your family could look like :)
