"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."

I am a Senior at Shenandoah University, where I play lacrosse and study Psychology, hoping to become a NICU/ pediatric nurse or a speech-language pathologist. I love kids and enjoy being active and being outside as well as cooking and baking. I have been both a nanny and an occasional babysitter for about 5 years. I also have dog sat as well as cat sat. I am also experienced in senior care, as I cared for my grandmother and did 40 hours of clinicals in a senior living center.

$20 per hour for 1 child
I am married since 32 years with 2 beautiful children and 2 sweet rescue dogs. My husband was in the Army for 30 years where I maintained myself as a piano teacher moving every 1 - 3 years. I truly love kids and dogs very much . I babysit multiple kids and special needs kids since 8 years on care.com with fun and compassion by mixing reading, music, outdoor activities, German games, German songs, crafts and any activities the child likes and the parents approve. Babies giggle about my funny expressions and sounds. I am willing to drive up to 30 miles for date nights. Thank you !
“Bernice is an absolute delight! My 3 and 7 year old boys loved her and felt comfortable right away (which is not always the case). She is on time, responds fast to my texts, and my kids always seem to enjoy their time with her. She goes out of her way to play with my boys and keep them entertained. It feels nice to be able to relax and not worry about them, knowing they are in good hands. Thank you for all your help! I’ll be reaching back out again soon.”
Jennifer $18 per hour for 1 child
I am a goofy, smiley 26 year old who loves infants and children. I have 5 years of experience working with children and babysitting. I work as a CNA in Postpartum and Pediatrics. I am very comfortable caring for infants and young children (therefore very patient :)). I am also comfortable with pets, and am willing to help with small tasks around the house if asked!
Myra $20 per hour for 1 child
I’m a nurturing, patient, and dependable caregiver with 20+ years of experience working with children and families. My background in education and psychology helps me understand children’s developmental needs, build trust, and create safe, engaging environments. I’m attentive, organized, compassionate, and comfortable caring for infants through school-age children. I enjoy reading, singing, creative play, learning activities, and helping children feel loved, secure, and confident.
