Lola $25 per hour for 1 child

I was a nanny for the Merizalde family for many years, from 2007 to 2012. I cared for thirteen nieces and nephews who are now professionals, and I also cared for my two daughters, Priscilla and Yuriana. Priscilla has a Bachelor of Science in Biology, and Yuriana is a junior at Kean University. We have two pets: Sparky is the dog, and Mama is the cat. I earned my Associate of Occupational Science and Culinary Arts Certificate in 2001. I am patient, loving, responsible, reliable, and cheerful, with excellent childcare and interpersonal skills and extensive experience caring for children and seniors. I care for children as if they were my own. I like them to feel comfortable around me. I read books, play with them, take them to the park, do activities, and always follow their parents' instructions. From 2014 to 2019, I worked as an Executive Chef in nursing homes. Working with seniors, I learned to understand them better and recognize their needs. I would like to discuss your specific childcare needs. I am bilingual and I am willing to teach Spanish to children if you wish. I have clean driver record. I am able to cook meals, do simply cleaning, do laundry and errands.

"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."
