Hi! I’m Shay. I grew up in Ames, Iowa and spent many years playing competitive club soccer in Ankeny, which helped shape my love for staying active and working with kids. I later became the captain of my college soccer team, which taught me leadership, teamwork, and responsibility—qualities I bring into my caregiving style. I’m an energetic, positive caregiver who enjoys creating a fun, safe environment where kids can be themselves. I love getting kids outside, playing games, going to parks, and finding creative ways to keep them engaged and moving. I also enjoy quieter activities like reading together, crafts, and helping with homework. Families often describe me as dependable, warm, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important trust is when caring for children, and I always communicate clearly with parents so they feel comfortable and informed.

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.

"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."
