Hi! My name is Maisy and I am 18 years old currently out of high school. I truly enjoy helping families feel supported and I have a multitude of experience in babysitting, caregiving, pet sitting and more. I can assist with daily routines, light housekeeping and help keep a stable, safe and caring environment while also always having fun. I’m attentive, responsible and great at reading needs and communicating clearly. Families can count on me to be reliable, calm, and genuinely invested in providing the best care possible. I am very outgoing and love working with children, animals, and helping around the house. I currently live with a single mom and 6 year old that I nanny but have so much free time to do more. I am open to anything :)

I love taking care of kids and I am excited to care for more. I helped run a Sunday school program for toddler-age children to elementary age kids for two years. For the past two years, I have been one of the leaders for a youth program for middle school and high school children. I have run a few other programs for elementary to high school students with good success. I have also done a few other caregiving opportunities for neighbors both with pets and children.

I am a nanny with over 15 years experience, I started in college nannying for a few families long term. After college, I went on to be an au pair with four different families in four different countries, it was an amazing experience to see the world and become part of their families. After my travels as an au pair, I caught the travel bug and backpacked around the world for about 10 years. During these travel times I worked and gained some very valuable skills, like managing a ship in the Antarctic and being an outdoor guide in the Arctic and Antarctic. I also worked on a 120 foot sailboat as the cook and I’ve done chef and cooking rolls other places around the world as well. I did a lot of volunteering in little communities. They were doing Eco projects or building houses. I’m a very good house cleaner, I noticed things that need to get done and do them and truly go out of my way. Take care and support other people. The last four years I’ve been managing high scale events and while I love it, it’s a very full on high stress position. I’ve decided that some of my happiest jobs I’ve ever had was being a nanny for a good family and I would love to just get back to doing that full-time. Of course child care takes a lot of energy and responsibility but it’s also such a fun space to play and be creative. I’m completely comfortable with all age ranges and open to working full-time with one family or part-time with several different families, coming in for a date night is pretty fun as well because the kids and I can also have a fun night playing while the parents go out and have a fun time.

I bring that same care and attention to working with young children and seniors. Whether I’m creating fun, structured routines for toddlers, providing calm companionship for older adults, or managing pet care and household tasks, families know they can count on me.

"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."
