Farhana $30 per hour for 1 child

i am new to urban sitter! Hi everybody, my name is Farhana. I have a strong background in caregiving with hands-on experience supporting kids of all ages, seniors, and even household pets, which has helped me develop the patience, empathy, and reliability families look for in a great caregiver. I’ve worked in daycares, after-school programs, and as a substitute teacher and teacher’s aide, giving me a solid understanding of child development, safety, and behavior support. My personality is warm, calm, and nurturing, and I’m skilled at creating routines, helping with homework, managing behaviors, and keeping kids engaged through fun and educational activities. I’m also comfortable assisting seniors with daily tasks and providing companionship, and I handle household responsibilities like cooking, cleaning, and organizing with ease. Altogether, my experience, strong communication, and genuine love for helping others make me a dependable and caring support for any family.

"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."
