"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 Sandy Grace! I’m a college freshman at Santa Fe college majoring in nursing. My services include pet sitting, house sitting, nannying, and babysitting. I have always had brothers or sisters to take care of, this included helping them do their homework, creating fun activities, taking them to the park, swimming, and always being there for them for any needs! I enjoy helping kids do their homework, reading with them, coloring with them, outside activities, inside activities, and just being there to support them. My special skills include helping with homework and teaching kids how to be creative! For pet care, I’ve always had various kinds of animal. For example, I’ve had snakes, horses, dogs, cats, hedgehogs, and a bunny. I can walk, feed, play, and just check on animals throughout the day or week! I’m comfortable with any animal no matter what type. For housesitting, I used to watch a families house for them while they went on long trips. This included staying in their house, taking care of their dog + cat, cleaning, mopping, vacuuming, doing laundry, and just basic cleaning around the house. I’m willing to do anything to help a family or even just do small one time tasks. Please reach out to me for any service!
