"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 :)
“Very reliable and professional. Excellent job and we’re very thankful to have had her watch our 1-year-old son!”
Naszier $13 per hour for 1 child
What makes me a good caregiver is having fun and building connections with the one’s I will supervise. I have two dogs and also a baby cousin that I would babysit A-LOT so i would say that i am experienced in caregiving for infants/toddlers, pets, and possibly seniors. I am also a very clean person so the family will not have to worry about coming back home to a mess. I chose this because I feel like I have a connection with babies I just love them, and also pets.
Sonja $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi I'm Sonja, I'm a full time college student majoring in human services. I have 3 more years until I graduate with my bachelors degree! I grew up around kids my entire life so I was always the one parents would ask to watch them. I also had dogs growing up so I'm very use to pets, I also have cat of my own now. I love being able to help make kids happy and be able to see a smile on there face at all times. Just being around kids makes so happy! Im very compassionate and sweet to anyone I meet and I love being a big help!
