"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 families! My name is Yessidaly, but I go by Yessy. I’m a devoted Christian from Nashville and I currently nanny a precious 9 month old baby boy! I’ve taught at a daycare to the sweetest class of 2-year-olds! I also serve in the kids’ ministry at my church and have been babysitting for friends and family for a little over 2.5 years. Kids will always have a special place in my heart. I would describe myself as nurturing, patient, and reliable, with experience caring for children of all ages. I love doing crafts, singing songs, and using music to create fun and engaging moments. I’m also comfortable with pets and happy to help with light housework like tidying or dishes. As well as adjusting to an ongoing routine if needed. My goal is always to create a safe, joyful environment where children feel loved, cared for, and encouraged to grow. Additional details about me: • Bilingual in English & Spanish 🇺🇸🇲🇽 • CPR trained 🩺 • Experience in both classroom and home settings I’d love the opportunity to connect with families who are looking for someone trustworthy, energetic, and passionate about caring for kids! 💕

I am a 53 year old woman who loves to work with children, seniors and pets. When my children were young, I owned a daycare in my home, for infants, up to school age children. I have raised 2 children of my own, who are both wonderful adults now. For the last 7 months I have been a live in caregiver for an 83 year old, disabled woman. I truly enjoyed caring for this lady, but have moved and looking to watch children again. I have a heart for helping others. In my spare time, I house sit for animals when the pet owners go away, as well as provide dog walking services. I love animals too and would be happy to help in whatever way needed.
