Hi! I’m Moriah, starting Fall 2026, I will be a graduate student at New York Medical College studying Speech Pathology. I have completed one year of graduate school in Early Childhood Education with a minor in American Sign Language. I have over 6 years of experience working with children, including 4 years as a nanny and 2 years in a daycare setting with infants through Pre-K. Recently, I’ve also interned at The Fisher-Price Endowed Early Childhood Research Center in Buffalo and have cared for school-age children in before- and after-school programs. I am also partnered with SmartSitter, a childcare agency that connects families with qualified and trusted caregivers in which I provide reliable childcare services to families with children of various ages and needs. I’m dependable, nurturing, and passionate about supporting children at every stage of development, and I look forward to meeting your family! About me: I am the oldest of 2 sisters! I am a godmother to a 8 month old. I LOVE to travel, swim,read and roller skate! My favorite movie is Matilda, and my children favorite books are Wonder by R.J. Palacio and The Sour Grape by Jory John :)

“Moriah is so lovely and my kids adored her. My youngest usually cries when I leave and this time he actually waved goodbye and was so happy. She is also very proactive and had the whole kitchen cleaned up from dinner when I returned. We would definitely work with Moriah again! ”

Childcare for me once was a hobby that has blossomed into my life long purpose. I have always adored children and take pride in being a part of so many family, friends and associates’ villages. I have been a nanny both part time and full time for multiples and a nanny share. Currently, I’ve received my Child Development Associate, I am a full time assistant teacher at a daycare, & a direct support provider for a child with special needs, 4 years and counting. After school hours and most weekends I am a babysitter for local, school and referred clients. In the past few years I’ve focused on expanding my knowledge and experience. I hold several certifications & undergo extensive trainings to comply with both state & daycare regulations. I will always go above and beyond to grow, as no day is the same and I love that I get to tap into my fun side. I enjoy having a great time, teaching, fostering developmental growth and being a nurturer. Speaking of fun, my previous babysitter agency job provided me opportunities in places such as hotels, back up care in the home, & events i.e.; weddings on a weekly basis. I even supervised several different Sunday school group activities. Please be advised, I am CPR/First Aid/AED trained so safety is a top priority. I am in search of full time & occasional needs. I hope that we are a match!

"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."
