Hi! I’m Unique, a dependable and engaging childcare professional with nearly 10 years of experience working with children as a preschool teacher, substitute teacher, nanny, and babysitter. Safety is always my top priority. I’m CPR/First Aid and Food Safety certified, with training in major food allergens. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to creating an environment where children feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also love making our time together fun! From arts and crafts and outdoor adventures to reading, imaginative play, and educational activities, I enjoy finding creative ways to keep kids engaged. I bring a great balance of safety, structure, patience, and fun—and I treat every child with the same care and attention I’d want for my own family.

“Unique was great! She arrived early and my baby loved her. I appreciate her attention to detail. She made sure she understood my child’s needs/ routine and was mindful to check how I prefer to receive updates. Will book again”

Nikki $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Nikki. I recently retired from the federal government and am excited to now dedicate my time to helping families in my community. I’m a proud mom of four wonderful adult children, ages 20–32, and I bring over 32 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. My childcare experience started early—my grandmother owned a daycare, and I worked alongside her in high school providing before care, aftercare, overnight, and full-day care. That experience gave me a strong foundation in creating safe, nurturing, and fun environments for children. I also hold a Food Handler’s License, so preparing meals and snacks is never a problem. In addition to childcare, I love pets and would be happy to help with pet sitting. I also enjoy supporting seniors and am available for non-medical companionship, light errands, or simply providing a friendly helping hand. I truly love caring for others, whether it’s children, pets, or seniors, and I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate.

"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."
