Hi! I’m Brittney, a graduate of Woodbury University, and I offer dependable childcare, senior care, pet care, and household assistance. I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic caregiver with more than 10 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, school-aged children. I truly enjoy helping children feel safe, supported, and engaged.

I’m comfortable preparing meals, providing transportation to appointments, running errands, and assisting with everyday tasks.

I currently have an active 10-year-old Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix, so I’m very comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. In addition, I can help keep your household running smoothly by cooking, doing laundry, running errands, and assisting with other household needs.

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
