"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 was originally born in Hungary and came to the states to study and row at USC. I have been coaching rowing at college level. I was a live-in nanny for 5 years (2 kids from day 1) and also babysat kids ages 1-13. I love engaging with kids all ages and am always amazed by their curiosity, playfulness, fun, eager to learn. I want to become a mom one day and would love to help mothers/families in need. I am great with kids, love to teach, love to be outdoors, going on new adventures with them. I also grew up with 3 siblings and multiple pets so I am used to being in a busy household. I am passionate about caring for others, especially infants, toddlers, teenagers and to be a role model to them.
