Macy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Macy, and I am a 21-year-old student entering my senior year at Pace University in New York City, where I study Marketing and Communications. Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, I have been babysitting and nannying for over five years and have always loved working with children. Growing up, I was the go-to babysitter in my neighborhood and worked closely with two families for over three and a half years as a part-time nanny. In addition, I have cared for many other families on an as-needed basis for date nights, work events, weekends, and school breaks. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants just a few months old to pre-teens. Working with children comes naturally to me. My mom is a kindergarten teacher and was also a nanny when she was my age, and I have always shared her passion for helping children learn, grow, and feel supported. Beyond nannying, I have worked as a swim instructor for young children and am CPR certified. I also grew up around dogs and have experienced dog walking and sitting so am very comfortable with pet care! I am happy to assist with homework and tutoring, meal preparation, light housekeeping, organization, transportation, and swim instruction. I am also completely fluent in Spanish, having spoken the language since I was five years old. Families describe me as dependable, patient, energetic, and caring. My goal is to create a safe, positive, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, confident, and excited to learn. I would love the opportunity to support your family and get to know your little ones!

"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."
