"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."

Gisela $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Gisela. Im a nursing student, experienced caregiver, and someone who genuinely loves working with kids. I’ve worked through the YMCA in after-school programs with children from 1st to 5th grade, and I’m also the proud, very involved aunt to a 5-year-old niece who keeps me on my toes. I’m great with animals (dogs are my specialty, but I fully respect cats and their space), comfortable with cleaning and household help, and I bring a lot of warmth and structure to the families I work with. I come from a Mexican background where caring for others is second nature, and my healthcare experience has taught me patience, attentiveness, and strong communication. I chose nannying because it fits well with my nursing school schedule and because caregiving is something I truly enjoy.
