"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."

Ella $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi- I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 and have several years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and teens. I truly love working with kids and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable being themselves. I’m patient, reliable, and understanding of all kinds of family dynamics. I’m also happy to help with light cleaning, cooking, errands, and pet care if needed. I bring a positive, calm energy into every home and love building genuine connections with the families I work with.

I am a college student who loves to help out others when needed! I am able to cook many delicious and nutritious meals. I was a nanny during my summer, but unfortunately the job did not work well with my school schedule. I am able to help with just about all homework, if anyone needs help with it! I have great experience with animals too! I have had a dog for as long as I can remember, but I also have been cat sitting for my friends for a while too. Not only can I help out with child and pet care, but I can help out with cleaning! I love to clean, and often when I am watching kids, I encourage us to alll clean up after our messes.
Peyton $15 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Peyton and I am a pre-medical student at the University of Utah. I have been a paid caregiver for the past for years and I am currently certified as a lifeguard in first aid, CPR, and AED use. I am also a certified EMT. I love doing activities and crafts with kids and am more than willing to cook for them. I also have pets and love taking care of them.
