"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’m Diana! I’m a full-time college student that is home for the summer. I have experience working with elementary-aged kids through tutoring and after-school care, and I’ve also babysat my younger siblings and cousins. I’m am comfortable with diaper changes, meal prep, light laundry, and helping kids with homework and crafts.

Booked by 1 family in Marriottsville, MD
As a mother of two grown children and a delighted grandmother, I have a wealth of experience with kids of all ages, from tiny newborns to energetic school-aged kids. I've also had the pleasure of looking after my sister's four little ones when they were babies (they're all grown up now) and caring for my great-nieces and nephews. Caring for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children truly brings me joy. I love taking them on adventures to parks, museums, the zoo, and other safe, fun places. Some of my favorite activities include reading stories, playing board games, doing arts and crafts, and engaging in educational games. You can trust me to keep your child(ren) safe, happy, and entertained. I'm a warm-hearted person who will treat your kids with the same love and care as my own.
“We absolutely love having her as our babysitter! From the moment she arrives, she brings such a warm, caring presence that makes our child feel safe, happy, and excited to spend time with her. She is incredibly affectionate and nurturing, always ready with a comforting hug and so much patience. One of our favorite things is how much she loves reading. She spends quality time sharing books with our child. It's clear she genuinely enjoys engaging with children in meaningful ways. She is also exceptionally reliable and dependable. We always know we can count on her to be on time, communicate well, and provide excellent care. Her behavior management skills are outstanding—she sets clear, kind boundaries and handles challenging moments with calm confidence and consistency.”
