"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’ve taken care of kids from babies to big kids (0–10 years old). I love keeping things fun with games, crafts, and activities outdoors, but I’m also happy to help with meals, homework, and routines. I’m easygoing, patient, and really enjoy being around kids.

“We have hired Jenny several times now and each time she is responsive, reliable, eager to learn about our kids (ages 8 & 9), and find ways to connect with them. She is easy going, willing to meet the needs we express or go with the flow when we don't have much specific instructions. We feel at ease when we are away and our boys are really enjoying getting to know her and they really appreciate having someone play the active stuff they like to do.”

Great with dogs! My own dog loves me (I think) because he gets lots of attention, cuddles, and quality time. Yours will too. I will make sure to spend all the time in the world making sure your dog has the best day
