"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 started out as a nanny when I was 19 and worked with all ages for many years. I loved being a nanny! Those are some of my favorite years! I have also worked with a school district in Southern California for many years (off and on) with special needs students, specializing in autism. I have done office work also, but most of my career has been with children. I also have two boys of my own, who are now 32 and 28. I also have seven young grandchildren, who are all in Southern California. I just relocated to Springfield to start a new chapter in my life and am looking for part time work. I would love to get to know you and work with your family.
