A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Amina, and I am a warm, dependable, patient, and experienced childcare professional with a background spanning childcare, behavioral support, children’s yoga, wellness, and education.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with children of various ages and abilities. My experience includes six years as a behavioral/ABA tutor supporting children on the autism spectrum, which reinforced for me the vital importance of patience, consistency, clear communication, and compassion.

In addition to behavioral support, I have worked extensively with children through yoga and movement programs—teaching preschool and school-aged children across summer camps and after-school programs—as well as serving as a private nanny. In my care, I strive to maintain a thoughtful balance between structured routines and fun, creative activities that allow each child to thrive.

Madelyn B. - Seeking Work in San Diego

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in San Diego, CA: Madelyn B.

I am from Oregon and moved to San Diego to be closer to my friends and boyfriend who all attend SDSU. My parents are both teachers and I was raised around kids all the time so getting paid to hangout with kids and help around the house would be a dream come true. I am doing online school right now and in December 2026 will be getting my associates in HealthCare Services. I’m not sure my plan after that but right now I’m wanting to save up money and get another job. I am also a barista at job bros and love it but it I got into babysitting full time I would consider leaving Dutch. I am super organized, respectful, kind, and extremely hard working. I know how busy people’s life’s can be so I would love to help you out in whatever you need!!
