"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! I’m Iisha. I’ve lived in Utah for most of my life, and I’m now raising my family here with my husband and our two school-aged children. I have a deep love for kids and truly enjoy spending quality time with them. I’m passionate about creating fun, engaging, and nurturing experiences for children. Some of my favorite activities include reading, arts and crafts, cooking, outdoor play, and outings to places like the library, zoo, or aquarium. I'm also very comfortable with daily routines like diaper changes, naps, feedings, and light household tasks. I’m happy to help with pets (both cats and dogs) and light errands as needed. Safety is a top priority for me—I am CPR certified and always focused on creating a safe, caring environment. I would love to support a family looking for a nurturing, reliable nanny to care for and connect with their little one(s) during the week!
“Highly recommend! Always shows up early but most importantly the kids love her. Great with keeping the kids engaged. Takes them on walks, makes meals, & cleans up! We never have to worry about the kids when Iisha is taking care of them!”

Prior elementary and current French dual immersion middle school teacher. Warm, trusted, loving and FUN! I’m a mother of 4 adults and grandma to 2 boys and a new granddaughter. Currently in a way-too-quiet Empty Nest. Due to varied skills and interests, I am offering reliable, caring, and skilled services for: • Childcare – engaging and safe care from a passionate teacher who can help prevent learning loss in summer months (I LOVE creating readers!) • Pet care – reliable pet sitting (bred 3 litters of English Labradors) • Home and garden care – house sitting, weekend errands • Outdoor adventures – Experienced boat driver and advanced snow skier (taught skiing to beginners and intermediates) Whether you need a last minute date night, weekend or summer sitter, or someone to keep your pets and home safe, I offer maturity, professionalism, and excellent references.
“Keri was fantastic! We booked her for two nights watching 6 kiddos, ranging from 4-12, while we were in town for a family wedding. Keri came in and seamlessly integrated herself with the kids and took over all situations (some nervous kids, some sleepy kids, some playful kids). With Keri being both a mom and a teacher we felt very at ease with her taking over such a big job. If we are ever in SLC again we would not hesitate to use her again. Thanks Keri!”

I was born and raised in Utah! I go to the university of Utah and I go to school Monday Wednesday and Friday just from 2-4. I used to nannie a little boy from 4 months till he was a year and a half. But I have little cousins that I used to baby sit all the time! I love babies and toddlers. I will have fun with the kids and do activities with them. I am reliable, I have a pretty open availability besides when I have school, I am patient, and my top priority is making sure the kids are safe and well taken care of:). I have lots of experience in taking care of pets! I was a dog/cat sitter for a lot of people for a couple years and i loved it! I also have a dog of my own that I take care of. I really enjoy cleaning as well. And would be happy to help with any chores or running errands that need to be done.

Hi my name is Hercy! I have experience taking care of kids between 6 months old to 10 years old. I took care of 3 beautiful girls for almost 3 years. Also I used to take care of a baby boy for 6 months, he was 5 months old then. I can take them to different activities. Also I love dogs so if you have one I will feel comfortable and happy as well around them. I speak Spanish so I can teach them some words if you want me to do it!
“Our boys loved hanging out with Hercy! They talked about all the fun things they did, from playing with toys to building things to going sledding. Hercy was also flexible when we were running late. Would definitely recommend Hercy!”
