Amel $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Amel (uh-mel)! I’m 18 and live in the Laurel/Fulton area. I’m currently attending HCC, where I’m studying pediatric nursing, so working with children is something I’m truly passionate about. I love being around kids and have lots of hands-on experience caring for my younger brother, cousins, and family friends. I’m comfortable caring for children of many different ages, from toddlers to grade-schoolers, and I always try to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re with me. I’d describe myself as fun, bubbly, loving, and responsible, and I enjoy finding ways to keep kids entertained while also making sure they’re well cared for. Outside of school and babysitting, some of my hobbies include drawing, painting, cooking, gaming, and spending time outdoors. I’d love to bring that creativity and energy into babysitting by doing fun activities, playing games, getting creative, or simply hanging out and making sure your child has a great time while you're away!

As a compassionate, highly organized, and reliable caregiver, I genuinely love working with children and bringing joy to their day. With over 3 years of hands-on experience running my own home daycare, coupled with my roles as a Substitute Teacher and Early Literacy Interventionist, I've developed a deep understanding of engaging children aged 6 weeks to 13 years through play, crafts, and age-appropriate activities, always prioritizing their safety and well-being. My extensive background in administrative and managerial roles (over 8 years) means I bring exceptional time management, organizational skills, and meticulous attention to detail to every aspect of childcare, from seamless scheduling and healthy meal prep to light tidying. I'm deeply committed to fostering meaningful connections with diverse families and maintaining a safe, supportive environment where children can thrive. I possess a valid driver's license with reliable transportation and am eager to contribute my dedication and nurturing approach to your family's needs."

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"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."
