Shaelea $25 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been babysitting for almost ten years and have worked with kids of all ages, from toddlers to teens. Over the years, I’ve learned how to keep things fun, safe, and organized, while ensuring each child feels comfortable and cared for. I’m not currently certified in CPR or first aid, but I have been in the past and plan to renew my certification soon. I’ve always loved being around kids. Their energy, curiosity, and creativity make every day different. I’m patient, reliable, and easygoing, and I strive to create a positive and calm environment wherever I work. Whether it’s helping with homework, coming up with activities, or keeping daily routines running smoothly, I really enjoy supporting families and being someone they can count on. I’ve also been pet sitting and dog walking since 2017 for eight separate families, so I’m very comfortable caring for animals and maintaining their 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."
