"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."

Tess $24 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Tess. I was born and raised in the Bay Area and have been babysitting for the past ten years. During the pandemic, I worked as a nanny for a pod of four children between the ages of four and eight. I enjoyed programming different crafts and games for the kids to keep busy! I have recently returned home after college, and I am excited to start babysitting again. Please reach out! I have a lot of availability in my schedule. Best, Tess
