"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 Mia and I’m a super helper! I am the oldest of 6 and have had 5+ years of experience sitting for my own family, family friends/outside hires, in classroom and daycare work.

Hello! Thank you for viewing my profile. I'm Kayla Spain, 25 years old. I have recently graduated from Alabama State University, majoring in Biology Pre-health. I have been caring for children since I became an older sister to my younger brother. I became a babysitter on a regular basis and also was there for my younger cousins as well. I have a lot of experience working with infants and toddlers. I've worked for a daycare at the age of 14- 18 where I prepared meals, developed lesson plans, and also maintained a safe and clean environment. I honestly love working with young kids and I make sure it's my mission to make sure they are keeping a smile on their face.
“I've worked with Kayla a few times now, and she has been wonderful each time. She is very reliable and so patient with my little guy. Always punctual and quick to respond, which I really appreciate. I'd gladly work with her again!”
