"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'm a Registered Behavior Technician who loves caring for both children and animals. My career has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and providing compassionate, individualized care—qualities I bring to every pet I look after. I'm a proud pet parent to my sweet tabby cat, Milo, and my Great Pyrenees mix, Sadie. They are truly part of my family, so I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping a familiar routine, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own.

I grew up in a family of 9 kids. My mother also owned a daycare and had a masters degree in special education. I had a great example to learn from! :) I have two children of my own. Both in College! I love to be a support to families who need occasional or part time help with busy schedules these days. This helps me as I continue to grow my health and wellness business and further my education in environmental and health science. I believe in supporting the talents and joys of each child! Mutual respect and healthy boundaries are essential in any interaction and fosters a soul to thrive!
“Julie is an excellent sitter. Our 10 yo daughter immediately took to her and they had a blast playing outside. Already invited her back!”

Hi! I’m Alexandra, a Human Development and Family Studies major at UNCG with ECE credentials and daycare experience. I offer child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 and have cared for children of all ages from newborns to teens. I also cook, clean, run errands, and love pets (I have a German Shepherd named Zeus!).
“This was the first time we ever hired a babysitter to watch our 3yo and we were a little nervous about it but were so glad we did. Alexandra is such a sweetheart! We got updates during and our daughter seemed so content when we got home. We will definitely hire her again in the future. ”
