"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."

Booked by 1 family in Elmendorf, TX
Hello! My name is Addie! I am currently attending UTSA and working on my bachelor's degree in psychology. I’m going on my 4th year of working with kids. I have experience in babysitting, day summer camps, and overnight camps. I am patient, creative, and driven. My passion is working with kids! I love teaching and learning from kids and plan on pursuing this as a social worker. Not only am I looking to forward to creating a strong bond with children but a bond with the parents too. I am here to offer an extra supporting hand whether that is looking over your kiddos or helping cook, clean, run errands, etc.
Selena $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Selena a first grade teacher who was born and raised in San Antonio. I’ve been working in the education sector for the past 6 years in South America and here in the United States. I enjoy working with kids and helping them learn through play, find their joy with reading and to allow their inner brilliance to shine through various creative crafts. I received my bachelors in Childhood and Special Education from NYU and my Masters in Responsible Management and Development from the University of Peace in Costa Rica. As a result of my 4 years in South America, I speak conversational Spanish and would love to continue practicing. I currently volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters and am apart of the Girl Scout Alum San Antonio chapter. I look forward to meeting your little ones and being a support to your family!
