"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."

Alex $24 per hour for 1 child
Hi, my name is Alex. I am 26, and offering child care, senior care, pet care, household & prep/ cooking services. I love kids, as my sister has a 1 year old, and I am a godparent to my aunts 7 year old. I am vegan for 9 years now, but that does not stop me; I have cooked for friends and families who majority eat regular foods. Also looking if anyone wants a chef, I love to cook. Currently with 1 family on Monday & Wednesday. I used to be in camp during the summers/winters when i was young. Then I became a camp counselor at the same camps that I went, when I was allowed and of age. I realized I love taking care of kids and did that for a couple years. I also used to volunteer at an elderly home for Alzheimer’s and retired patients during high school. I am familiar with more of being a friend, company while engaging with them, and playing games like bingo. Those were more my duties there. I’m fantastic at games, even blackjack and card games. I can drive to/from school, homework, crafts, tutoring, errands, clean/tidy up. I have a dog of mine, and used to have a cat with an ex partner, so very familiar with pets as well. I love both very much.
