"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."

Hello my name is Hailey, I am 20 years old and a senior at the Parsons School of Design pursuing a BFA. I am currently employed as a camp counselor for ages 6-16 at Camp Fitch YMCA. My intention is to use my degree to be an elementary school art teacher. I am looking for more experience with kids, I love kids and doing arts and crafts and playing outside with them. I also love all animals and have been taking care of them and surrounded by them my entire life!
“Hailey was so kind, patient, and engaged with our 10 month old for a full day. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

Hi! My name is Stacey and I have been babysitting over many years of 30yrs of experience. I have 2 grown sons, nieces and nephews and grandchildren..currently I watch a couple of my friends' children... I have 3 huskies and 3 cats in home so if you have pets you are looking for care I can help with that also. My stepdaughter has 6 children, who i love as my grandchildren, including twins, I used to care for them on weekends when my daughter needed me. I consider myself a very experienced and fun caretaker! Until recently I was watching a 5yr old after I got out of work, picked him up from his aunt's house, took him home and fed him, helped with his homework, took him to playgrounds and fun adventures some days.
