"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 currently a college student majoring in psychology with aspirations for nursing school! At present, I have no idea exactly what I would like to specialize in, but I have a feeling it will ultimately be in pediatrics. I've spent most of my life working with children, be it as a general babysitter, a nanny, a peer mentor, a tutor, a lifeguard, or a camp counselor at a sleep away camp for several years. I love getting to know kids and helping them foster their interests and creativity, as well as teaching them to think out of the box! In my free time I love to go on hikes, play guitar, and most importantly I love to teach myself new things! I'm looking forward to working with you and your family.
âVery helpful and great attitude and pleasant demeanorâ

Hello! My name is Lilly! I have my Bachelors in Early Childhood and Childhood Education and am currently pursuing my Masters in Childhood Special Education. I also have experience from working as an assistant at an Child Care Center with children ranging from 5-12 years old and diaper changing from my younger cousins. I have a passion for working with children, want to help them learn new things, and can implement age- appropriate activities. I am very patient, punctual, compassionate, attentive, responsible, and prioritize safety and comfort. I enjoy reading, arts & crafts, and games! I am available for child care services & light household services. ****I would like to find jobs that are in the NYC area as I do not have a car and rely on public transportation. ***** I grew up with a chihuahua and currently have 2 cats. I am comfortable with both dogs and cats and can assist with feeding and playtime if needed. If you have any questions, please reach out. I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you!
âLilly was extremely professional and reliable. My 11 year old son warmed up to her, so did our two small dogs! She was very diligent. She made sure to listen to our expectations and delivered perfect care. I would recommend her services. â

Hi my name is Angela and I am currently a stay at home wife. I am offering childcare in your home and household services. I love being a sitter to children of any age group. I enjoy singing lullabies to newborns as much as counting numbers and things to coloring and reading books with toddlers, the joy I get from reading to children đ I have cleaned many homes, from vacuuming to laundry to organizing and also run errands (walking distance) because I donât drive. Most importantly I am very loving towards children and trustworthy and respectful to the children as well as their parents and household. Thank you, Angela
âWe hired Angela to substitute for our regular nanny when she took six weeks leave. Angela stepped in and immediately made our kids feel comfortable and safe. They took to her right away and even after six weeks they are always glad to see her. She has a handle on them at all times - her guidance and nurturing of them has been impeccable. She did art projects with them, played on the floor with them, read with them, and was completely focused on them at all times. We feel so much respect and affection for Angela. We will miss her very much.â

Hi my name is Shajna and I am a stay at home mother. I have three children of my own so I have a lot of experience!! I can work with toddlers and infants. I can work around the house, feeding and putting them to sleep and taking them to school. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.
âShajna responded to an unusual request for a targeted intensive two weeks with our nine month old while I traveled on business. We are so lucky she did! Shajna was a marvelous nanny: professional, engaged, warm, responsible, and a joy to be around. She expertly learned our daughter's rhythms and got her to sleep faster than we imagined possible. She is an abundantly generous, unobtrusive and friendly presence to boot. We cannot recommend her highly enough!â
