Hi i’m Marta! I’m a caring and dependable caregiver with 4 years of experience working with children, plus 2 years of volunteer work in childcare settings since I was 16 years old. While I haven’t worked with infants yet, I’ve spent most of my time with toddlers through elementary-aged kids and would be open and excited to learn if infant care is needed. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m more than willing to get additional training or certifications to meet your family’s needs. I love creating a safe, nurturing space where children can feel supported and engaged. I’m also happy to help with light cleaning, meal prepping, and keeping things organized around the house. I'm committed to being a reliable, kind, and positive presence in your child’s life—and to building a strong, communicative relationship with your family!

As a caregiver with over a decade of experience, my passion lies in nurturing the growth and development of children. My previous babysitting roles have enriched my understanding of childcare and reinforced my desire to make a positive impact on young lives. I understand the importance of effective communication with parents and always follow their preferred method to provide regular updates about their child's day and address any concerns that may arise. My patient and calm demeanor, coupled with my friendly and approachable nature, allows me to connect easily with children. I prioritize following the parents' lead when it comes to enforcing household rules. When it's time to play, I enjoy engaging children in outdoor sports and physical games, as well as board games and puzzles. Educational games that promote learning are also a favorite. As a responsible individual, I have a car and am comfortable with pets.

"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."
