Booked by 1 family in Harwood Heights, IL

Hello! My name is Amy! Since I was a kid myself, I’ve loved watching over my younger siblings/cousins, neighborhood kids etc. It was a responsibility I took upon my own, which I love! What really did it for me was being in daycare & having such caring & nurturing teachers that one day myself, I’d wanna be in this field. I have 9 years experience babysitting, 1 year professional experience working in daycares as an assistant teacher & 1 year being a nanny. I am certified in First Aid & CPR. I really do enjoy spending quality time with children. Whether that’d be going to the park, indoor/outdoor activities, social/emotional learning skills, school learning activities etc. I am also able to help out in any way shape or form! Whether that’d be cleaning, chores, provide personal care aide such as toileting, hygiene, eating etc. I am very comfortable with pets and able to care for more than one child! On top of everything, I do understand parents point of view, where trust, respect, responsibility & loyalty come in. I do assure to treat every single child that is in my care, as if they were my own child. I will provide a safe, calm & nurturing environment.

"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."
