"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, my name is Jennifer Vo and I graduated from the University of Virginia in May 2025 and I am working a full-time job. I am free after 6pm in the Tysons-Alexandria area and offering childcare services. I absolutely love working with kids! I know they can be a handful sometimes, but with the right patience, they're absolutely a joy. I have babysat for over 5 years and I've worked with kids of all ranges, including infants, toddlers, and kids. My responsibilities have been driving them to and from places, making them dinner, bathing them, and putting them to sleep, and taking care of them up to 9 hours.

I absolutely love working with children! I have been babysitting for six years now and have worked with all ages. I am more than willing to keep them entertained, especially when screens are off limits. I love anything creative, and I am also good at cooking if the little ones need a meal. I also love pets and have a dog of my own.
