"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."

Hello parents, My name is Ana, 30 yo and currently looking for an occasional babysitting position. Originally from Brazil, I have been living in the US for eight years and worked as an Au pair and nanny during this time. I’m comfortable with the kids routine, playdate, meal prep, bath and bed time. I am very flexible and would consider myself easygoing and organized. I love to be outdoors and organize fun and safe activities. Also it’s important to mention that I am non-smoker and love animals. I am looking forward to hear from you! Thank you, Ana
“Ana was great with our 4 year old & 11 month old. Both took to her quickly and our 4 year old said she had fun playing together!”
