Booked by 28 families in Newark, NJ

Hi, My name is Aimee and I was born and raised in North Jersey. As a creative, I am a huge advocate for self expression and being yourself. And spending time with children reminds me the importance of that. I've been working with kids for over ten years and as the oldest of five, caring for children and being attentive to their needs is first nature to me. I have experience nannying & babysitting the kids of my neighbors, aunts, uncles etc. Also, I've worked as a Substitute nanny, date-night nanny and as a teacher's assistant in daycare centers/preschools. My favorite part of nannying is when I see a child grow more confident in themselves and their abilities. There's something about seeing a child do something that they thought they couldn't do, it warms my heart :) With your child, I plan to teach them, care for them, go on plenty of walks with them (parks are epic), visit the library, a museum, have a dance party or two and just support their development and individuality. That was a bit about me and I look forward to meeting you! All the best, Aimee A.

Aimee is a wonderful person. She was very kind, patient and thoughtful with our children.

Making a difference, one child at a time. Whether I'm assisting with night feedings, sewing costumes for a play, or tutoring for the SAT, I know that spending quality time with children and teens are vital to their success and development. I am college-educated, an adventurer, attentive, patient and kind. My hobbies include art and craft projects, reading, archery and cooking.

Our kids instantly connected to Hannah and she was so thoughtful, bringing activities to do with the kids. We would absolutely hire her again!

"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."
