Hi, I'm Mahbuba! I'm 19 and will be a junior in Pomona majoring in International Relations. I have years of childcare experience from looking after children in my Ethiopian community along with babysitting. Laundry, cooking, and cleaning are skills I'm very confident in. Creating a safe and engaging environment for children is my biggest priority! I recently renewed my CPR and First Aid Certificate and am comfortable caring for up to three children, newborn and up. I love outdoor games, board games, and educational activities! I believe in open communication with parents-I'll keep you informed and always respect your household rules. I also have 4 years of tutoring experience from the Refugee Education Center of Grand Rapids, so homework help is no problem. Transportation, pet walks, and playtime are all things I'm happy to assist with too. I look forward to bringing my warm, friendly, and reliable energy to your family!
Mahbuba did an amazing job watching my children, who were 11 and 4 years old, during the summer of 2024 and again in the summer of 2025. She was extremely reliable, patient, and caring, which gave me complete peace of mind. My kids felt comfortable with her right away and always looked forward to spending time with her. She made sure both age groups were safe, engaged, and well cared for, and she handled her responsibilities with professionalism and kindness. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the children she works with. I would highly recommend Mahbuba to any family looking for a trustworthy and dependable caregiver.
