Nyla $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nyla, and I have a Bachelor’s degree in Child Development along with several years of hands-on experience working with children and families. Throughout my career, I have worked as a preschool teacher, caring for children in their early developmental years while creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging learning environment. As a teacher, I have gained experience supporting children’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development through age-appropriate activities, structured routines, and play-based learning. I have also built strong relationships with families by maintaining open communication, providing daily updates, and partnering with parents to support each child’s individual needs and growth. Working with children has strengthened my patience, creativity, reliability, and ability to remain calm in any situation. I truly enjoy helping children learn, explore, and build confidence while ensuring they feel loved, supported, and safe. My background in Child Development allows me to understand developmental milestones and create meaningful experiences that encourage learning both inside and outside the classroom. Whether it’s assisting with homework, planning fun educational activities, preparing meals, or helping with bedtime routines, I strive to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives parents peace of mind. I am passionate about working with children and would love the opportunity to become a trusted nanny who supports not only the child but the entire family.

"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."
