"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 27 families in Richmond, TX
Hello Families, I moved to Houston almost 2 years ago. Before moving, I graduated from UC Merced (in California) with a degree in Public Health and a minor in Community Research and Service Minor. Previously, I worked part-time teaching swimming to kids 4 days a week. Then on my own, I taught private swim lessons for 2 years. I have been responsible for caring for children ages from 5 months to 12 years. While having lots of fun and laughs, I make sure to keep your child's safety a priority. I have also prepared and served meals with instruction. Thank you so much for considering me and taking the time to read through my profile. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you and your family!

Booked by 11 families in Richmond, TX
Hello!! I’m Chiamaka but you can call me Kaima. I’m currently a nursing student looking towards specializing in anesthesiology. My hobbies are dancing, singing, reading, and taking solitary walks. My experience in terms of babysitting started with family. I helped my Aunt in raising my cousins, taking care of them since their birth till about age 5/7 when I moved out. The fun part of being with them was catering for them, helping with assignments,playing with them and also expanding my own personal knowledge when it comes to kids because undoubtedly, they are wonderful but delicate. With this knowledge, I’m willing to extend this care to you and your kids. I’m looking forward to working with you and getting to bond with your baby/babies :)
