Alexa $20 per hour for 1 child

As the oldest of 10, I grew up caring for babies and naturally became the “second mom.” I’m now a first-time mom to my 10 week old, so I’m very experienced with newborn care like feeding, diapering, soothing, and sleep routines. I understand infant cues and create a calm, nurturing environment. I bring my baby along, offering a built-in, age appropriate playmate and a social, home like setting. I also have 9 years of pet care experience, including work as a surgical veterinary technician. Your baby will be in patient, loving, and capable hands.

"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."
