"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."

Babysitter with 10+ years of childcare experience and a parent myself, so I truly understand the needs of both children and parents. I hold a BA in Psychology, I am fully vaccinated, and certified in adult and pediatric First Aid/CPR. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children of all ages.

Hello my name is Lindsay, I am currently a graduate student in the Masters of Social Work program at California State University, Northridge. Besides having to take care of all my younger cousins, I have work experience in elementary, middle, and high school levels in the education system. Additionally, I have experience with tutoring kids in math, english and science. I love being around children and have worked as a coach at multiple basketball clinics because they are so fun to be around. I have experience with taking care and babysitting infants, toddlers, and teenagers. I feel very confident with caring for children due to the various settings I’ve been able to work in. I am very patient and caring and would ensure that every child I watch is taken care of. I love to make sure that every kid I watch is happy and comfortable. I am also able to help tutor kids in primary school as well as middle school. Furthermore, I am also very organized and love to do housekeeping work. Besides taking care of the children, I am willing to help the parents with any other tasks they need to get done that they don't have time to do. I hope I can help with any families that may need an extra hand! Thank you for your time and consideration!

Hi – My name is Chisa and I’m from Japan. I am offering child care, senior care, dog sitting and household services. Although I don’t have formal nanny experience, I was a nurse in Japan for 15 years. At my previous employment in Japan, I worked in the emergency room for three years and was a pediatrics nurse 2-3 times/month. I did triage for kids, checking the temprature/breaths, and helped docter's phlebotomy, making sure kids were getting nebulizers. Basically, I love kids, they make me smile! Adittionally, I am a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) in California with BSL certificate. I love interacting with infants and children, and I have extensive experience working with seniors. I’m a dog lover and happy to work with families with dogs! Cats are welcome too!
“My girls immediately liked Chisa and didn't want her to leave. She fit right in with our family and we are looking forward to working with her on a regular basis. She is friendly, kind, asks important questions, and is great with the kids. My dog also loved getting extra pets!”
