"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 Amy, I’m a mom to a 8 month old and I have been working with children professionally for the past 3 years. Through past work with a babysitting agency, I gained valuable experience working with a variety of age groups and family dynamics. I am very comfortable engaging with children, from newborns to toddlers and even teens! Whether you’re going out for date night, running errands or simply need some time to decompress, I’m here to provide reliable and engaging care for your family! I don’t have any professional experience providing household services, but I take direction well. I’m very open to constructive feedback. My goal is to make sure things are done to your specifications every time. I am comfortable working in homes with pets! Will renew CPR/ First Aid certification upon request *My child will not be present with me while providing any services*
“Amy was great with our child. She was patient, attentive, and very accommodating throughout the time she spent with him. She kept him engaged with activities, and by the end he didn’t want her to leave—which says a lot! We would definitely be happy to have Amy babysit for us again.”
