I’m 20 years old. I have two younger brothers. One just turned 7 and the second one is 3 years old. I help my mom babysit them after school or when she has to run errands. I have prior experience babysitting for other families too. And I enjoy being with kids!

Hi! I’m someone who genuinely loves working with kids and creating a safe, fun, and loving environment where they can just be themselves. I’ve been a nanny for over 6 years and have experience with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. Every child is different, and I love getting to know their personalities and helping them learn and grow in a way that’s best for them. I’m currently in nursing school and also have over 3 years of experience as a CNA, so safety and quality care have always been important to me. Families would describe me as dependable, patient, easygoing, and someone who truly becomes part of the family. Whether we’re doing crafts, playing outside, reading books, helping with homework, or just having a dance party in the living room, I always try to make sure the kids are having fun while feeling loved and supported. I believe communication is everything, and I love working alongside parents to make sure their children receive the best care possible. My goal is always to be someone families can trust and someone their children are excited to see every day!

"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."
