"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."

Rivkah $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Rivkah, and I work as an assistant teacher at CTA. I am currently studying forensic psychology and am deeply passionate about the field of psychology. I take pride in my skills, which I believe will enable me to understand and effectively work with children. I am certified in BLS and have received training in adult, child, and infant emergency care. I work with students aged 3-4, but I have been involved in childcare for various ages since I was 12. I love and am great with all animals, although I am best when it comes to dogs. I am currently on summer break and available to assist with any needs you may have. While I am comfortable with a wide range of services, I excel particularly with younger kids. As a teacher, one of my main responsibilities is to create projects that help children develop their skills and learn to express themselves. My work has provided me with extensive experience in meeting the unique needs of each child and finding what works best for them. I hope I can be of assistance! :)

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.

Being around animals brings me joy, and having the opportunity to take care of your dog, cat or other pet is something that I truly love. I'll take care of your fur baby as if it's my own, and I'll do everything possible to make sure that their time with me is super enjoyable! I'm experienced with both puppies, kittens and senior cats and dogs. I've given pets their insulin injection, and I'm able to give even the most stubborn pet their oral medication. In my spare time I enjoy biking, swimming and strength training.
