"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! my name is Cecilia, I am a sophomore in college, and I love to be around children and pets. I have a very big family so I have always grown up babysitting and watching my younger cousins and I have always loved every second of it. I also love dogs! I have always grown up having dogs so I love taking care of them, and playing with them. I have a very fun loving and attentive personality, I love being outdoors, and soaking up the sun, doing things like hiking, going on walks, and swimming. I would also be more than happy to cook, clean, and run errands as well!

Hi! I am a recent graduate from Pitt. I am 22 years old and currently taking a gap year before applying to medical school. During my gap year, I am taking an EMT class this summer to work in emergency medicine. I am interested in becoming a child psychiatrist. I have a strong passion for helping families feel supported and cared for. I have experience working in hospitals, so I am CPR and BLS certified. I have a year of experience babysitting for a family with 4 children (12 y/o girl, 9 y/o girl, 6 y/o boy, and 3 y/o boy). I love spending time with children of all ages. I enjoy being outside and active. I also love arts and crafts (mess-free of course). I am hard-working, spirited, and enthusiastic.
