"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 Elizabeth Ward, a professional art teacher with 26 years of classroom experience and a strong background in private babysitting. Because I work with students daily, I excel at keeping kids engaged, managing after-school routines, and maintaining a calm, positive environment. I specialize in afternoon and evening care.

I have a fully cleared background check, and look forward to giving your family peace of mind!" I also love animals and ready to give them love as well.
Syd $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I’m Syd! I’m 19 and I moved to Las Vegas last year with my family. I offer childcare and pet care. I can drive and I love to cook! I have experience with children of all ages, from toddlers to teens. I’ve been helping take care of my younger siblings, cousins, and neighborhood kids for years. (The parents on my block used to call me the “Neighborhood Mom.”) I was always the first to introduce myself when a new kid moved into our community, and I was always happy to watch over, cook for, and take the kids out to the park! I love music, art, space, video games, and animals! I also enjoy spending time outdoors, swimming, and playing board games. I’m a strong swimmer and know CPR, so I’d be happy to take your kids to the pool! I have three birds and a dog of my own, so I’m very comfortable with pets as well!
