"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."

Evelyn $20 per hour for 1 child
I graduated May 2023 with a B. S. in music studies and psychology with a concentration in children and families with the goal of becoming a music therapist and working with children and adolescents. I have a 7-year-old sister who is my absolute favorite person, I spent a lot of time caring for her at the beginning of COVID especially. I am very active and I love working with children and animals. I enjoy spending time outside and doing arts and crafts. I worked in a Mental Health Residential facility for one year caring for teenagers between the ages of 11-17. During this time I became First Aid/CPR certified, MAT certified, and trained in food safety. I briefly worked with children diagnosed with autism as a behavioral technician in 2024. I am currently working as a full time nanny for an 8 year old girl. I am very passionate about working with children and adolescents who have a variety of needs. I am also comfortable with pets, I grew up around dogs for most of my life and even pet sit sometimes now. I love cats and currently have two of my own.
Hortencia $28 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable childcare provider with over 10 years of experience working with children of different ages. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities, especially date nights, evenings, weekends, or when parents need some extra help. I’m not looking for a full-time position. I enjoy creating a fun and comfortable environment where children can feel safe and engaged. Some of the activities I enjoy doing with kids include: • Bedtime routines and getting ready for bed • Reading books and storytelling • Arts and crafts • Board games and age-appropriate games • Creative and educational activities • Helping with meals and snacks • Keeping children’s routines and schedules I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow each family’s routines and preferences. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident when leaving their children in someone else’s care. I would love to be a reliable babysitter your family can call when you need occasional childcare!
