"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."

Ethan $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Ethan, and I’m a dependable, energetic, and service-oriented professional with a diverse background working with families, students, and busy households. I previously served on staff at several churches, including Prestonwood Baptist Church, where I worked as a Worship Associate in the Student Ministry—giving me years of experience caring for and mentoring middle-school and high-school–aged kids. I’m currently a full-time musician, wedding singer, and DJ, and I’m also studying to become a Certified Personal Trainer. Because my work is contract-based, I value opportunities that offer flexibility while still allowing me to show up fully, reliably, and with a great attitude. I’m comfortable working with older children (6th grade and up), and I’m also available for house sitting and pet sitting. I’m detail-oriented, respectful of your space, and happy to help with light household tasks if needed. Whether you’re looking for someone trustworthy to care for your home, your pets, or your kids, I take pride in being someone you can count on. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and make your life a little easier!
