"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."

Jessica $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi there! I recently moved to the area from New York and am excited to get connected with families in the community. I work full-time but am looking to take on extra work doing something I truly enjoy, caring for kids and pets! I have over 5+ years of experience with babysitting, house sitting, and pet sitting. I began babysitting when I was around 16 and have since worked with children ages 1–10. I also have years of experience working in my church nursery, which gave me the opportunity to care for little ones. In addition to childcare, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds and energy levels. I’m a high-energy, people-loving person who genuinely enjoys keeping families’ homes and pets happy and cared for. I’m looking forward to helping out local families and becoming part of this wonderful community!
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!
