"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."

$15 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Kaylee, and I moved to Virginia from Massachusetts about a year ago. As I have gotten settled in, I have been excited to connect with families in the community and offer reliable babysitting/pet support. Kids are usually a little sad to see me leave after a babysitting session, and that’s because I make it my priority to create a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for them. I’ve spent several years caring for toddlers (my favorite age group—they always keep me on my toes!) as well as older children. I also have two years of experience working in professional daycare settings. My responsibilities have included arts and crafts, homework help, creative play, light cleaning, and pet care. I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes—I have owned two large-size dogs weighing over 100 pounds —so walking, feeding, bathing, and playtime are no problem. The only thing I can’t accommodate is homes with cats due to allergies, but otherwise, I’d love the chance to support your family and help your little ones have a great time while you’re away!
