"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 Jaki and I'm living in Rancho Cucamonga. I am offering child care. I love being a babysitter and spend time with kids. I have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids (including triplets) since I was almost 20 years old. I have experience caring for children and creating a safe, calm, and organized environment. I follow daily routines such as nap time and meal schedules, and I keep play areas and baby items like bottles clean and organized. I also engage in early stimulation activities, playtime, and walks to support development, and I can assist with outings, playdates, and transportation as needed.
“Jaki has been working with our son for 3 weeks, and she does such a great job with him. She's done a great job helping us introduce him to solid food and is supporting him learning how to stand up and crawl. He has the biggest smile on his face whenever she walks in the door. We will continue to book with Jaki as long as she's available :)”

Hello! I just graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a major in Child and Adolescent Studies! I am starting my teaching credential and master's program next semester. I am currently working within a school district in the IE, substitute teaching all the way from preschool to 12th grade. I love art, pets, music, playing outdoors, and so much more! I am on summer break right now and have a lot of availability, but once the school year starts up, I won't have as much. I would love to support your children as well as you!

Caring for a child means supporting their safety, growth, and emotional well-being with consistency, respect, and compassion. I bring those values to every family I serve. I am an experienced, energetic caregiver and mother, CPR/AED and CPI certified, with formal study in child development as part of my degree requirements. I am active, dependable, and thrive in supportive, structured environments that help children build confidence, healthy habits, and strong social skills. Beyond my professional experience, I volunteer with children in the special needs community and youth sports, which has strengthened my ability to adapt, lead with patience, and respond calmly in high-stress situations. I take pride in being fair, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in each child’s well-being. I would be honored to support your family and provide a loving, safe, and encouraging environment for your loved one.
