"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."

Delfina $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Delfina and I’m 26 years old. I’m from Argentina and love teaching Spanish to kids! I’m about to start studying Early childhood development and looking to fill up some of my free hours between classes and my current part time nanny position. I have more than 7 years of experience taking care of kids of all ages -infants till teens. I’m CPR and first aid certified. I have my own car -clean driving record- and I’m willing to drive kids places if needed. I love spending time outside, going to the local library and doing fun things while babysitting! I’m okay with pets in the house and wouldn’t mind helping out with light household tasks if needed. If you think we can be a good match don’t doubt reaching out. Thank you!
Kadijah A $22 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I'm a passionate nanny with years of experience caring for children of all ages — newborns, toddlers, and preteens alike. I started nannying in high school and carried it all the way through college because it's something I truly love. I’m now working as a Compliance Consultant and want to spend the rest of my afternoons/evenings with even more fulfillment. I'm compassionate, dependable, and genuinely invested in every child's growth and wellbeing. I enjoy supporting developmental goals, helping with homework, and being a warm, steady presence families can count on. I'm also CPR and first aid certified for extra peace of mind. I'd love to learn more about your family — feel free to reach out!
Aida $22 per hour for 1 child
I have a lot of experience working with kids. I have been a gymnastics coach for the last four years working with infants all the way to teenagers. As a coach, my responsibilities have included running both classes, private lessons and summer camps. Classes and private lessons have really taught me how to most effectively communicate with kids, whereas working at the summer camps has allowed me to tap into my creativity, coming up with games and crafts that kids actually enjoy. I have always babysat on the side in addition to coaching, so I am also very familiar with any household tasks that might be expected of me- bedtime, making dinners, etc! If you have pets, I am happy to look after them as well. I grew up with two dogs and have a mini dachshund myself now- I love animals! I am very adaptable to your families needs and always communicate to the best of my abilities. Additionally, I am CPR and first aid certified!
