"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."

I am a retired early childhood teacher with 25+ years of Elementary School teaching. I love children so I immediately try to establish rapport with them no matter what age. I bring books, toys and games that are age appropriate and will keep your child happy and engaged. I have 3 teenage grandsons so I have experience dealing with all ages. Unfortunately, they are in New York so I treasure getting to know new families.
“Lisa is fantastic. She arrived early, brought a bunch of fun toys, and immediately had our daughter entertained. We feel lucky to have found someone as great as Lisa. ”

Hello, I'm Alecea. I am 27 and have always loved children. I have gotten myself involved in anything babysitting related from watching babies during Sunday church services to babysitting family and family friends children. I am CPR and First Aid Certified because it's always better to be on the safer side. I have a B.S. in Elementary and Special Needs Education and a M.A. in Curriculum and Instruction. I am currently a Special Needs Teacher for 2nd - 5th grade here in the Coachella Valley. I am very attentive, loving and friendly. I enjoy and love children beyond words and I hope that you can have trust in me to take care of your child.
