$23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Riverdale, IL

With 7 years of hands-on childcare experience and as a mom to a wonderful 4-year-old, I bring both professional knowledge and heartfelt understanding to every family I work with. I’m highly creative and artistic, and I love planning age-appropriate games, crafts, and activities that encourage learning, imagination, and confidence. I’ve supported many families with multiple children, so I’m comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and needs with patience and positivity. My personality is quirky, bubbly, and warm, which helps me quickly build strong connections with children while creating a safe, joyful environment. I believe in nurturing trust while setting healthy boundaries in a caring and compassionate way, helping children feel secure, respected, and supported as they grow.

“Manages temperaments and maintains energy, kindness and patience with 2 kids (ages 20 months and 5 months- not easy). Punctual, present & warm, her experience speaks for itself.”

I enjoy being surrounded by children because of their imagination, innocence, and creativity. I am an enthusiastic, fun, creative, energetic and responsible person.

I love listening to music of all different genres, reading books, dancing, and meeting people of all different cultures. Learning is a lifelong passion for me enjoying the many different cultures around the world. I have 13 years of experiences, and working as a sitter is a wonderful experience, providing opportunities to meet many families and children of all ages. I am honored to take care of the children I meet, and have a positive impact on their lives.

"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."
