"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."

Hello, My names Christina I’m reaching out in response to your need for a babysitter for your children. I am a retired RN. After retiring from nursing, I decided to return to my first passion, childcare. I began caring for children at the age of ten and have never stopped, I love all children. There is nothing more beautiful than the sound of a child's laughter. As a caregiver, I will provide a safe and stimulating environment for your child. In addition to being certified in CPR and first aid, I have also been educated regarding stages of child development. My lifestyle does not include smoking, vaping, or drinking alcohol. The presence of pets is fine with me, and I have my own vehicle. My undivided attention will be given to your children while I am with them; you will not find me on my cell phone. Upon request, I am willing to provide copies of a recent comprehensive background check and references. You can be confident that I will give your children the level of care and attention they need to grow and thrive. It would be my pleasure to discuss how I might be able to assist your family. You are welcome to contact me at your earliest convenience. If you would like to speak with me. Your consideration is greatly appreciated, Christina.
