I have three years of experience working with children between the ages of 5 and 12 through both babysitting and volunteer work. During this time, I’ve gained hands-on knowledge of child safety, communication, and engagement strategies that help create a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED, which gives me the confidence and skills to handle emergency situations calmly and effectively. I’m naturally outgoing, dependable, and hardworking. I take pride in being consistent and responsible. Whether I’m helping with homework, planning activities, or managing routines, I approach every task with care and attention. In addition to working with children, I’m also open to helping with household tasks or pet care as needed.

"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."
