"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 love taking care of children and grew up babysitting my cousins and nieces. I've been a sitter for 4 years and mostly do occasional and part time sitting for various families. I have taught Sunday school to kids aged 3 - 10 for 5 years, for which I'm a mandatory reporter and trained in child CPR. My highest education is a master's degree in film and media production. Please feel free to reach out if you have a job in mind!

Hi! I’m Fatima 😊 I have tons of experience babysitting, I started caring for kids when I was around 15/16, and it quickly became something I genuinely love. Childcare has always felt natural to me. I’m reliable, patient, communicative, and really good at balancing fun with structure. I’ve completed college credits in Child Development, worked as a preschool teacher, and in an after school program with middle school students. I also have experience as a Behavioral Therapist for children with special needs, which strengthened my skills in adapting to each child’s unique needs, supporting routines, and staying calm in challenging moments. I love the chance to support your family. Thank you for checking out my profile I’d be happy to bring a mix of fun, learning, and care to your little one’s day! 💛

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!”
