"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."

My duties include transporting kids to/from school, some tutoring, arts and crafts, and some household chores. I also used to work as a swim instructor and lifeguard. I mainly taught classes aging from 3-12. I was a swim instructor and lifeguard for approximately 6 years. I was also a caretaker for both of my grandparents.
