"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 Karina! I'm a 20-year-old mom to a fun and energetic 3-year-old girl. Being a parent has given me valuable hands-on childcare experience, and I love creating a safe, caring, and engaging environment for kids. I'm reliable, patient, and happy to help with playtime, meals, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping. I'd love the opportunity to care for your little ones as if they were my own!

Hello, I have experience caregiving for an elderly person daily for 1 year and am capable of handling tasks for those around me who are unable to do so. I have watched Children of relatives for weekends or when their parents go out of town/vactions, managed their needs of getting them to school and preparing meals for the week. I am a pet owner myself and have a pet-sitting background for Dogs & Cats. I am easy going and always willing to attend to the needs of those under my care. Thank you for reading this. May this message find you well and I hope I can be a caregiver for your requests/needs. Have a great day.

I’m a dependable, patient, and caring person who genuinely enjoys helping others. I understand how important it is for families to have someone they can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m attentive, responsible, and respectful of each family’s routines, expectations, and home. I’m also easygoing and approachable, while knowing when children need structure, patience, or extra attention. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and positive environment where children feel cared for and parents can feel confident that their family is in good hands.
