"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."

$30 per hour for 1 child
Compassionate caregiver with a strong background in nutrition and wellness. Children’s book publisher and devoted mother to a neurodiverse son, bringing patience, understanding, and creativity to every family. Experienced with children, seniors, light household support, and creating a safe, nurturing environment where everyone feels valued and cared for.
“Terri has such a way with children, each child that she Mentor, teach or babysit becomes her own. I've witnessed her teach a 3 year old to read and a 7 year old to write a story that was later published as a book. She have the patience, ability and tender loving care that helps children learn and excell. I highly recommend and trust her with the position of teacher, tutor, babysitter and care giver.

Hi! My name is Jackeline, but everyone calls me Jackie. I am currently a freshman in college and I am offering child care and dog care services. I love babysitting and have been caring for infants and toddlers since I was around 10–13 years old. I have lots of hands-on experience and truly enjoy working with children. If needed, I can also tutor elementary school students. At the moment, I do not drive, but I will always be dropped off at any location provided. I am happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, organizing, or any small tasks you may need assistance with. I am the oldest of three siblings, which has given me a strong understanding of how to care for children, stay patient, and handle different situations. I also have two dogs that I care for regularly, so I am comfortable with feeding, walking, and general pet care as well. I am responsible, caring, and always willing to help however I can. I look forward to supporting your family!
“Jackie was one of the best sitters I’ve had in ages- not only were my kids well taken care of but she tidied up after the children around my house while waiting on me to get back which was so appreciated”

Hello my name is Deanna. I am a mother of 4. I have worked at Sugar Creek Baptist and Elsik Ninth Grade Center in the past. I have 18+ years of experience working with children. The keys to successful relationships with children is encouraging/guiding them, modeling good behavior and listening to them. I am also an experienced caregiver as I have cared for my own Father and Mother. I believe everyone is deserving of respect and I have experience working with people of all different cultures, religion, and ages.
“Amazing sitter. Positive and uplifting energy with very high morals. Not only did she help me with taking care of my child while I was recovering from my procedure, she was wonderful and very caring helping take care of me as well. My child connected well with her as well.”
