"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."

Breana $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Breana, I’ve always loved being around kids and helping families. I’m patient, caring, and easygoing, and I try to make every day fun but still structured. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or keeping a good routine, I like to make sure kids feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their parents are away. People usually describe me as reliable, calm under pressure, and great with communication. I take pride in showing up on time and giving my full attention to the kids I’m caring for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your child with someone, and I don’t take that lightly. I’d love to be someone your family can count on, whether it’s for regular help or last-minute care. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Leesie $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello, my name is Leesie! I’m currently a student attending St. John’s University pursuing my undergrad in health & human services. After college I plan to work with children with special needs - my inspiration for this is my dear brother Lincoln whom has autism. He’s my super star and I’ve helped my mom raise him up since I was 10 until leaving home to pursue my education. I hope to be able to help families out there that need assistance with their children from a wide range of ages; struggling work and home life which I know can be super stressful. My interests are out door activities, painting, sports and reading. I have no problem with cleaning after kids/ keeping things tidy also helping with homework if needed… however if you require me to cook I am working on my skills but I’d say I have a moderate ability to do so as a young adult and open to learning more through out this experience.
