Hi there! My name is Tasha , and I’m currently a lead teacher . I’m offering childcare, senior care, and household services.

My responsibilities have ranged from driving to and from school to engaging in crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. In addition to my babysitting experience, I also work as a household assistant. I can cook, clean, and run errands. I’ve been a caretaker for my own grandparents, so I’m comfortable with senior care.

Nurturing young minds is my passion, and I have spent the last three years dedicated to working with children. In addition to my babysitting experience, I currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), providing one-on-one support to toddlers with autism. This role has strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to create structured, supportive environments that help children learn and thrive. I am friendly, dependable, and experienced in caring for children of all ages, from newborns to pre-teens. I am comfortable caring for up to three children at a time and can assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and swimming supervision.

"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."
