A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Addison Aman, and I am a college student currently taking online classes through the University of Florida. I offer childcare, senior care, pet care, and household support, and I truly love helping families in any way I can.

I have 10 years of experience working with children ranging from newborn to 16 years old. Over the years, I’ve worked as a babysitter, nanny, dance instructor, tutor, mentor, camp counselor, summer camp director, and nursery teacher. I love engaging kids in fun, meaningful activities while also creating a safe and structured environment.

In addition to childcare, I am highly qualified in safety and healthcare. I am BLS (Basic Life Support) certified & I am also comfortable supervising children in the water as I am Red Cross lifeguard-certified. I also hold a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) license through the Board of Nursing, and have experience providing medical care for individuals of all ages, including seniors.

A little bit about me

Hi Im Anthony! A graduate student at University of Minnesota with over 6 years of nanny/ babysitting experience! I was born and raised in Chicago, IL but spent the past four years in St. Louis, MO for my undergraduate degree. It was there that I also worked for a professional sitter service where I cared for children of all ages, from toddlers to middle schoolers.
Outside of school and babysitting, I enjoy staying active and creative. I love spending time outdoors, going on walks around the lakes in Minneapolis, visiting parks, and finding fun activities that get kids moving and exploring. I also enjoy reading, art museums, and creative projects like drawing or crafts, which are always fun to incorporate into time with kids. I am happy to help with homework, school projects, or simply creating a safe and fun environment where kids feel comfortable and engaged.

Recent reference

"Anthony is the best!! He joined our family in the fall of his junior year at SLU, and was with us for 2 years until he graduated. We were so sad to see him go, but found comfort in knowing he made such a positive impact on our family and kids. Anthony is such a well-rounded young man, and still my kids’ favorite babysitter. He was always very reliable, outgoing, honest, caring, and flexible - which is not an easy feat for a busy student like him! I appreciated how creative and thoughtful he was when interacting with kids. He is very social and outgoing, so your kids are sure to have a blast and learn a lot. Any family is lucky to have Anthony by their side."

I’m currently a student at MCTC doing my generals and I absolutely love working with kids. I’ve done it since I was a teenager, caring for siblings, relatives, friends of family, daycare, etc. I believe during my school journey, babysitting/nannying would work perfectly with my schedule. I love anything art related and outdoor/indoor activities.
