"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."

Hello everyone!!! I am an experienced sitter for every necessary help. I love kids and pets so I don't have any problem with babysitting or petsitting. I have been helping my family take care of kids for as long as I can remember and can handle a baby. I have been an experienced behavior analyst for the past 4 years so I have worked with kids with special needs. I used to be a teacher's aid as well as a teacher for kindergarden kiddos. I also have had pets for the past 16 years. I can cat sit or dog sit. I can do dog walking. I can shower them. I can pick up their poop, or clean litter boxes. I really do what you need around the house. I can prep dinners, I can do errands, I can clean. I enjoy organization. I am first aid and cpr certified because I have to be for work purposes. Please let me know if you have any questions for me. If necessary, I can also give you a reference or two. I live in Baldwin Park/West Covina. My availability is M/T/TH 9am-2:30pm W/F 9am-6pm.

Booked by 176 families in El Monte, CA
I am a former elementary school science teacher and a marine scientist. I've been working with kids for 22 years: both as a teacher and as a babysitter for family (7 nieces and nephews), friends (I'm "auntie" to many more), and a professional babysitting company. I love working with kids because I am one at heart and love to discover the world at their level. I love running around playing games, doing crafts, reading books, and I am a great homework helper. When I get some free time, I love to go kayaking, hiking, and snorkeling.
“LOVE that Xana is so worldly & openminded. She is knowledgeable of languages, customs, and is clearly a lifelong learner. This is someone I’d love for my children to grow up knowing!”
