Rayona $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Rayona, and I’m 23 years old. Although I’ve been in education for five years, I currently work as a teacher assistant for Pre-Kindergarten. Before that, I spent two years working at a daycare, where I cared for infants and toddlers. For the past three years, I’ve been working with children in the Child Protective Services (CPS) system, first with second graders and then with Pre-Kindergarten students. I genuinely enjoy working with children and engaging in fun activities, whether it’s outdoors at the park, taking a walk, or indoors, assembling puzzles or coloring pictures.

I’m 24 and currently pursuing my master’s in Elementary Education at DePaul.

I’ve also worked in after-school programs and animal hospitals, so I’m equally great with pets! I’m CPR certified, active, and love keeping kids engaged through play, learning, and creativity.

"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."
