"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 - My name is Tony, and I'm a teacher for T.U.S.D. I am offering pet and housesitting services. My hours are pretty flexible if there is enough notice given.

Booked by 42 families in Cortaro, AZ
Hello everybody! My name is Edie, and I am 30 years old. I recently moved back to Tucson, AZ from Seoul, South Korea where I worked as a traveling English teacher for 4 years. I taught 3-4 year olds (pre-k) as well as elementary school (after school care/tutoring). Before being an English teacher, I worked several child-care jobs such as: live-in nanny (1.5 years), preschool teacher (1 year due to COVID), and nanny/babysitter (7 years). Before working with kids (and while working with kids), I was a Certified Nursing Assistant and have worked in a long-term care facility as well as a private 1:1 caregiver for an elderly client. In addition, I have experience with multiple health factors including mental and physical disabilities, I have taken courses in child psychology and developmental psychology, and I was a girl scout for 6 years! When it comes to childcare, I believe in patience, fun and the promotion of education while spending time with children. Healthy snack creations, backyard activities that promote exercise, games that encourage imagination and enhanced thinking skills.. I have a long list of fun foods and creative activities tried out with my students, siblings, family members and past children I've cared for that always bring joy and smiles to a child's face.
“Reliable, professional and my kids really enjoyed her, I’ll be reaching out when I need again!”
