"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."

Emannuela $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Emannuela, I’m 33 years old and originally from Brazil, where I graduated in Early Childhood Education and worked as a kindergarten teacher for five years before moving to the United States. I have over seven years of full-time childcare experience in the U.S., including two years as an au pair in New York, caring for a baby from 3 months to 2 years old, and five years as a nanny in Maryland, looking after three wonderful children between 1 month and 8 years old. I truly enjoy being around kids, helping them learn, play, and grow in a safe, positive environment. I’m currently transitioning careers, but I still love connecting with families and offering occasional babysitting. I’m available after 5:30 p.m. on weekdays and all day and night on weekends, and I’d be happy to help with date nights or special occasions. In addition to childcare, I’m also available for senior companionship, dog sitting, and running errands. Looking forward to speaking with you, Emannuela
