Vanessa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Vanessa, and I am a responsible, compassionate, and dependable caregiver who truly enjoys supporting others. I am currently a multifaceted student at Rutgers University studying Supply Chain Management, which has strengthened my organization, time management, and problem-solving skills—qualities I bring into every caregiving role. This past summer, I worked with 20+ students as a Program Assistant for a dual enrollment program, where I supported students academically and personally, helped manage daily schedules, and ensured a safe, structured, and positive environment. That experience strengthened my patience, leadership, and ability to respond calmly and attentively to different needs and personalities. I approach caregiving with empathy, attentiveness, and a strong sense of responsibility. Whether assisting with daily routines, meals, companionship, or light household tasks, I take pride in being reliable and consistent. I also value open communication and make it a priority to keep families informed and involved. My goal is to provide thoughtful, dependable care while building trust with both the individual I’m supporting and their loved ones. I would be honored to support your family and make a meaningful difference in your daily life.

"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."
