"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."

Booked by 1 family in Lake Alfred, FL
Hii! My name is Mariangely but you can call me Mary, I'm 18 years old and currently enrolled in college. I have CPR/first aid certification. I have two years of experience with kids from newborn to 11 years old and feel comfortable caring for up to four children at a time. I'm fluent in English and Spanish, comfortable setting and following household rules, and I believe open communication with families is really important. Caring for children is something I truly love. I'm patient, calm, creative, and friendly, and I enjoy helping kids learn and grow through play, whether that's outdoor activities, board games, puzzles, or fun educational activities. I have a 10-year-old sister who means a lot to me and a dog that I love, which has taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and caring for others. I'm always happy to share updates by text, phone, or in person. Being a reliable and supportive sitter truly makes me happy, and I'd love the chance to babysit for your family!!
“She was amazing!! On time! My son wind up getting sick unexpectedly and she handled like a pro til I got home! 10/10 recommend she’s so sweet and nice and professional I will definitely use her in the future!”
