Hi - My name is Natalie and I currently live with my husband and two cats in Brooklyn, NY. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services.

Hi! My name is Amina, and I’m a reliable, patient babysitter with hands-on experience in daycare, kindergarten, and after-school programs here in Brooklyn. I’ve cared for children of different ages, helping with daily routines, playtime, meals, homework, and bedtime. I also have experience working with special needs children, including support with potty training and clothing changes, and I always prioritize patience and safety. In addition to babysitting, I’ve worked as an after-school instructor for 5th graders at EXCEL Inc. and as a tutor in English, Russian, and math, so I enjoy keeping kids engaged through fun, educational activities. I speak English, Russian, and Kazakh, and I’m comfortable working with families from diverse backgrounds. Parents describe me as calm, attentive, and trustworthy, and I always make sure children feel safe, supported, and cared for. I’d love to help your family ,whether for a date night, regular care, or extra support when needed.
