"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 am a retired school administrative assistant. Over many years, I have worked with children of all ages in the school system and caring for them in my home childcare business. I keep the children busy with hands-on learning, singing, dancing, age-appropriate books, DVD's and videos along with arts and crafts. I have also worked many years as a care-giver/CNA in private homes and in nursing home facilities. I am First Aid/CPR certified for infants, children and adults. Also, being a former residential cleaning business owner, I have many years of experience in cleaning vacant and occupied properties and doing trash-outs.

Hey ! I’m Sunshine and I am 19 years old. I currently work at an aftercare/preschool center, but I have been babysitting for years now. I love working with kids and typically work better with older age groups! I am also open to pet sitting, dogs or cats, and house sitting! I have done pet sitting and house sitting off and on for the past couple years as well :) I also did first aid and CPR training classes a couple years ago! I wanted to add to be more clear with my schedule; I am open any weekend, but I am only available past 6pm on weekdays.
“I booked with Sunshine for drop-in pet sitter services while I was out of town. She was very friendly, courteous and easy to work with! She was absolutely wonderful with my pets - a dog and cats - and took great care of them. I would highly recommend Sunshine and will book with her again!”
