"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."

Ashlynn $35 per hour for 1 child
For over a decade, I've dedicated myself to nurturing young minds and providing families with dependable childcare. My passion lies in fostering each child's unique growth and development, and I find joy in making a positive impact on their lives. I bring a patient, creative, and friendly approach to my care. I am comfortable caring for up to three children of various ages, from infants to pre-teens. I am adept at following parents' lead on household rules and communication preferences, offering verbal updates at pickup and regular texts or calls. I enjoy engaging children with outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. I am also happy to assist with cooking, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision. Ultimately, I strive to create a safe, fun, and enriching environment where your children can thrive, and I look forward to the opportunity to get to know your family!
