"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."

Hannah $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi I’m Hannah! I’m a massage therapist and looking for a second job! I am into working out and golfing and painting, hiking too! Love to go to the beach and listen to music. Currently picking up the cooking books and started to cook more too!

Whether you need help for a date night, occasional childcare, or an extra set of hands, I’d love to help support your family!
Sarah-Jane $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello! I’m a lifelong nurturer originally from England, though I’ve called this country home since I was 21. My journey with children began at Manchester University where I earned my teaching degree, and it continued through the greatest joy of my life: raising my own two sons, who are now grown. For the last 20 years, I’ve dedicated my heart to caring for other families' little ones. I truly believe that every child needs a patient, creative, and friendly soul in their corner. Whether we are exploring the outdoors, getting lost in a board game, or working through a tricky homework assignment, my goal is always to make your child feel seen and supported. I value the trust you place in me, which is why I prioritize clear, gentle communication and a respectful approach to your family’s unique rhythm and rules. I am also fully certified in CPR and First Aid for your peace of mind. I simply love what I do, and I would be honored to bring a bit of extra joy and stability to your child’s world. I look forward to meeting you and your family!"
Morgan $12 per hour for 1 child
Hello! my name is Morgan and I currently go to the University of Rhode Island studying elementary education. As I am home for the summer, I work at Abacus during the week but I am looking for something to do on the weekends. I love kids more than anything and would love to spend my free time babysitting! My top priorities are keeping children safe and making sure they have tons of fun!
Astarrian $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Astarrian (uh-star-ree-in) you can call me Starr for short! I am currently a behavioral therapist working with young children with autism and have a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I also am in the process pursuing a masters degree within ABA. I am offering child care, which has been one of my passions for years. I am known to be the young aunty in my family so I have a lot of experience with taking care of young children, toddlers, and babies under 1 years old. I not only can provide care taking responsibilities but I can also provide creative play for your child!
