"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."

Hi I’m Sara! I have a natural passion for helping others, which is why I find joy in babysitting. With multiple years of experience caring for children, I strive to provide more than just supervision—I aim to be a supportive mentor and a helping hand for your family. Whether it’s assisting with homework, preparing healthy meals, or engaging playtime, I am dedicated to making sure your children feel safe and happy. I love baby sitting because I get to hear all of the cute things kids say and watch them learn. I have over 10+ years of customer service experience and love to cook!
“Sara responded to our last minute posting, and did a great job taking care of our 5 year old, who requested that we have her come back. She was very professional, helpful, got all of our daughter's bedtime routine done, and conversed well with her. We would recommend her to other parents, and plan to ask her to come take care of our daughter again. ”

Hi! I have a wealth of experience working with kids, mainly in a school setting. I've been an Elementary School Teacher for the last 10 years: including 5 years as a kindergarten teacher, experience in 1st grade, 3rd grade and even middle school. I've also been an art teacher for K-4 and taught adventure sports summer camps for 10-15yo. I'm also a father of two terrific girls, a grown 21yo and a 3yo toddler. That gives me lots of recent hands-on experience with infants and toddlers.

I’m a site coordinator for a before and after school daycare center at one of the primary schools in the University Place school District. I have been employed at University Place Latchkey since 2015 when I was hired on as a teacher’s assistant. Looking for a family to help out during the day in between my splits.

Hi! My name is Josie! I am currently a student at the University of Utah living in SLC! I am 20 years old with over five years of babysitting experience. I am fun, responsible, and reliable with an open and flexible schedule to care for your little ones! I am more than happy to provide transportation to and from your child’s activities, homework help, meal preparation, and even pet care if needed. I am also CPR certified. I look forward to working with you!
“Josie is truly amazing with both our infant and toddler! She’s gentle, patient, and incredibly nurturing. From bottle-feeding and diaper changes to engaging our toddler with play and stories, she handles everything with care and confidence. Both kids are always calm and happy when she’s around. She follows our routines perfectly and keeps us updated while we’re out, which gives us so much peace of mind. Josie is reliable, responsible, and clearly experienced with little ones. We’re so grateful to have her and highly recommend her to any family looking for loving, trustworthy childcare for young children.”
