Hi - My name is Amy, I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love working with Children and Seniors. I have had experience since I was 14 years old. I would babysit the children in my area and was highly recommended at a young age. I offer help with school work, activities, errands, pick ups, drop offs to school or other activities. I also am a great caregiver for seniors, I have experience in bathing, assisting in walking and a great companionship partner. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, laundry and run errands.

“I wish i did not move so I could still have Amy as help with my children. She was a light that lit up my children's face as soon as they seen her. She cared for my 3 month old daughter and also babysat my 6 year old son while I worked night shifts. She was always reliable and on time. She was always willing to help even on short notice. Anyone that’s lucky enough to hire Amy is getting an angel.”

Kenya $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Kenya. I am a college graduate with my Bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in sociology. I have multiple years of experience in child care starting from when I was 14, which also includes caring for child on the spectrum and those with behavioral challenges. I have been working professionally with 2 families for the past 4+ years. I love everything about children and plan to pursue a career in social work. My responsibilities caring for children range from assisting with pick up and drop off to and from school. I’m also well equipped to handle arts and crafts projects as well as homework assistance. I also work as a household assistant cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I don’t have any allergies to pets so I can also assist with dog walking and caring for most animals.

"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."
