"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."

started babysitting when I was about 12, and when i graduated highschool in 2023 I started in childcare centers and l've loved it ever since. I also have a 7 month of sister and 5 year old brother that I help take care of :)

Alice $15 per hour for 1 child
I have experience helping at my mom’s daycare caring for children from infants to 10 years old. I’m especially comfortable with toddlers and older children. I also regularly care for my 3-year-old baby brother, which has helped me become patient, responsible, and attentive. I enjoy working with kids and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

I have no professional experience I’ve only ever taken care of my little siblings, my own daughter and I’ve helped friends babysit over the years i’ve babysat kids from ages newborn-10 years old and I help my mother raise my little siblings the oldest is 10 and the youngest is 1.5 years old. My daughter is 8 months so I have experience with many different kids and I would be a good fit to babysit anyone or anything
Sara $15 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Sara and I am currently a student at Kent State University for my bachelors in nursing. I am offering housesitting, cleaning, running errands, and caring/watching pets and children. I personally enjoy babysitting because I love kids or knowing that I can care for them and it is something rewarding for me. I have been watching over my families and friends kids since I was 13. I have most experience between the ages 3-10. This includes babysitting, overnights, or driving them to school and practices when needed. I also offer pet sitting services. I grew up always having at least 3 pets or watching others pets including dogs, fish, cats, bunnies, and ferrets. Thank you!
