Hi parents, Caring for children is more than just a profession for me, it’s a passion that comes from both experience and motherhood. As a devoted mother of two, I understand firsthand the trust, patience and love it takes to nurture and guide children through every stage of development. With over 10 years of childcare experience, I have had the privilege of caring for children of various ages, helping them grow in a safe, engaging and loving environment. I believe every child deserves individualized care, encouragement, and opportunities to learn through play, exploration and meaningful interactions. My approach is centered around creating a warm and nurturing atmosphere where children feel secure, valued and confident. I take pride in supporting developmental milestones, fostering creativity, promoting positive behavior and maintaining open communication with parents. CPR and First Aid certified which adds an extra layer of reassurance, allowing you, the parent to feel confident that their children are in capable hands. As both a caregiver and a mother, I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your children with the same level of attention, compassion, and dedication that you would. My goal is to become a trusted extension of your family while helping your children thrive, learn, and create joyful memories every day. I look forward to building meaningful connections with families and providing the loving, dependable care every child deserves.

“Zina was able to come on very short notice when I really needed some help, which was very appreciated. She was great, very proactive and able to relate to our kids very quickly. She came up with some great games for our fairly active boys and they had a good time with her. I would recommend her to anyone and we will definitely hire her again.”

I have experience with babies from five months up to 14 years old. I love teaching kids while creating a fun and safe environment. When babysitting, I prioritize an active and engaging day. Whether that be dance parties, park visits, playing board games, doing arts and crafts, tummy time, or practicing a new language.

Looking forward to providing an excellent time for your little ones! Currently looking for a full time permanent position

“Awesome sitter!! Ann-Lyz was responsive, responsible, and so caring for my two little ones. Showed such a calm demeanor and readiness to play and engage with indoor play, outdoor play, and feeding them dinner to bedtime. My 6 yr old is usually a bit skeptical but took to Ann-Lyz right away, and my 8 yr old said she loved playing with Ann-Lyz. We will definitely be asking Ann-Lyz to come back and sit for us! They had such a wonderful time. Highly recommend.”

"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."
