Hi, I’m Chelsea! I love working with children and am excited to offer my childcare services. I’m a punctual, responsible, and dependable individual who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. This summer, I graduated with my master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. I currently work with children on the autism spectrum, which has given me valuable experience supporting children with a variety of needs and creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for them. In addition to my professional experience, I have several years of babysitting experience. I grew up babysitting my younger cousins, as well as my niece and nephew. While I was in college, I also volunteered as a tutor for elementary-aged children in both English and Spanish. I’m comfortable with a variety of childcare responsibilities, including changing diapers, preparing and providing snacks and meals, playing with children, cleaning up after activities, and following bedtime routines.

"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."
