"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."

Booked by 7 families in Gradyville, PA
Hi! My name is Kir, I recently moved to the area after graduating college with a bachelors in mathematics. I'm excited to help out with babysitting and household care. I have experience with kids anywhere in the 0-12 age range, and am happy to help out with getting homework and chores done. I enjoy spending screen-free time with kids, play and do developmentally appropriate activities to help them grow.I have been cooking for my family, including younger siblings, for a long time, and know well how to feed picky eaters. I do not drive, but can assist with getting to local extracurriculars and activities. I love dogs and cats, and can make sure all their needs are taken care of. I am also First Aid/CPR certified.
“Kir did a wonderful job. Recommended!”

Samantha $18 per hour for 1 child
Hello! Thank you for looking at my profile! As a child I was always the unpaid babysitter for my siblings and cousins. I was able to change diapers before I was even 10 so it comes naturally to take care and look after small kids. I’m very attentive and kind. I enjoy creative and fun activities! I currently take care of a family member as a caregiver for 3 years so that definitely emphasizes to my abilities to care, delegate and support others.
Francesca $18 per hour for 1 child
I am a student at the University of Pennsylvania and I love working with children and pets! I have about 2 years of babysitting experience, working with children (infants - 10 years old). My responsibilities have included preparing food, reading to kids, putting them to sleep, cleaning, etc. I am fluent in Spanish and English. I am also conversational in German, Mandarin Chinese, and French. I am CPR certified. I have also volunteered in pet shelters for about 2 years. I hope to share my experience and passion with others!
