"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 there! I’m Summer — it’s so nice to virtually meet you and I’d love the chance to get to know you and your family! 🤍 A little about me: My husband and I have been on a journey to start a family of our own for the past three years. We’ve gone through the full IVF process (what a ride!) and while it hasn’t worked out yet, I absolutely adore kids and can’t wait for the day we have some of our own running around. I have over twenty years of experience with little ones (ages 6mo+), and I’m a big fan of park playdates, naptime routines, and even tackling those stinky diaper situations with a smile 😆 I recently completed a background check, car inspection, medical clearance, and I’m certified in First Aid and child CPR. Bonus: I’m also a Rover-approved dog sitter, so I’m more than happy to help out with your furry family members too! I’m born and raised here in OC and just moved back from LA. I’m looking to fill my schedule and connect with a new family or two! If you’re looking for a kind, reliable, and energetic helping hand — I’d love to chat and see how I can support your family. ❤️ Thanks so much for reading! Summer
