Hi, my name is Abby! I have an Associate of Arts (AA) degree with training in Early Childhood Education (ECE), and I am currently attending school to earn my Bachelor’s degree in Education. I have a genuine passion for working with children and helping them learn, grow, and feel safe and supported. I have lots of hands-on experience caring for children, including experience with my younger siblings and working with children in childcare settings. I am comfortable caring for children of different ages and enjoy creating fun, engaging, and age-appropriate activities. I’m patient, responsible, dependable, and always make sure children are supervised and cared for with their individual needs in mind. I am also CPR and AED certified, so safety is always one of my top priorities. I’m happy to help with homework, arts and crafts, playtime, bedtime routines, meals, cooking, carpooling, swimming supervision, light housekeeping, and keeping the children’s spaces clean and organized. I’m also comfortable helping families while traveling. I would love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust and rely on. I look forward to getting to know your family and discussing how I can help make your day-to-day life a little easier!

"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."
