Hello families! For the past 8 years, I have been the go-to babysitter, cleaner, and organizer for my close friends and family. Recently, I transitioned from a long-standing career at a major financial institution, meaning my schedule has opened up to bring my corporate-level reliability, punctuality, and time management straight to your home. (And yes, I am fully background-checked!). I absolutely love working with kids of all ages, bringing plenty of energy, patience, and care to babysitting. But I don’t just stop at childcare—I’m here to help your entire household run smoothly. Whether you need thorough cleaning, meal prep, laundry, meticulous organizing, running errands, or even keeping up with lawn care, I’ve got it covered. I also have wonderful experience and deep patience working with senior citizens, making me an excellent fit for multigenerational households. What I bring to your family: Childcare: 8+ years of experience. I love kids and prioritize their safety and happiness. Home Management: Expert cleaning, laundry, organizing, cooking, and lawn care.

"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."
