"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."

Valeska $24 per hour for 1 child
I truly enjoy connecting with families and caring for their children. I find it so rewarding to support them as they grow into their little personalities. I have hands on experience working in a pediatricians office as well as on a Mother baby unit at Overlook Hospital where I support moms with their newborns during their postpartum stay. I am BLS certified and can bring a calm, attentive, safety-focused approach to childcare.
Aminata $25 per hour for 1 child
I’m a senior at NYU with a strong background in childcare and safety. I’m a certified lifeguard trained in CPR, First Aid, and emergency response, and I bring that same attentiveness and calm presence to caregiving. I’m responsible, patient, and engaging, with experience caring for children and pets. Families appreciate my reliability, clear communication, and punctuality.
