"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! I am a student at the University of Iowa, studying Neuroscience on the Pre-med track. I currently work part time at the Stead Family Children’s Hospital in the PICU as a Nursing Assistant. I have been babysitting various aged kids since I was 12 years old. My mom did in home daycare growing up which formed my love for kids and I have become very comfortable with all kids. I am comfortable with any age and number of kids. I also love to help kids with homework or other learning if need be. I am open to helping with any household needs! I am able to transport kids as well and I also love dogs and have experience working at a doggie daycare, so I am familiar with all types of dogs!

Hello I’m Haley! I am offering part time or full time childcare, pet care, and household services. I graduated from Iowa State University in 2022 and will be going to graduate school in the future to pursue speech-language pathology. I would love to work with children as an SLP to follow my passion of learning and watching kids grow. I have been babysitting on and off since I was 16 and have been a full-time nanny for 1 year for 4 lovely children. As a nanny I have helped with cleaning, cooking, errands, crafts, and outings. I also love any and all animals!
