A little bit about me

My name is Awa, and I’m a dedicated and responsible babysitter with over 5 years of experience caring for children from 6 months to 14 years old. I’ve had the privilege of working with four amazing families, looking after a total of seven wonderful kids.

I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and grow. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, providing a clean home, organizing creative activities, or simply ensuring bedtime routines go smoothly, I tailor my care to each child’s needs.

I understand the importance of patience, reliability, and trust when it comes to babysitting, and I strive to provide parents with peace of mind while ensuring their little ones are happy and well cared for.

I currently have OPEN availability and would love to connect with a family looking for a caring and dependable babysitter. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to chat!
