"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."

Corshaya $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Corshaya, but I go by Shaya/Shay. I’ve recently gotten back into babysitting as a side hustle, but have been sitting practically my whole life! I’m an aunt of 8 nieces/nephews, which has given me all the best experiences of caring for kids. I work and play volleyball at Roots VBC, where I sometimes get the opportunity to coach wonderful children, and share my known expertise. Recently being around kids all day, has opened my heart up to wanting to use it as an opportunity to help others or even give working parents a break when they need it. With that being said, coming from a big family of 9, I know the true meaning of “it takes a village”, and Id love to be apart of that village. Creating bonds and trust with your child(s), pets, elders, is the most rewarding part of doing what I do.
