Kasey $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kasey, and I’m 18 years old. I’ll be attending Longwood University this fall, where I’ll be studying Psychology. I’m currently looking to connect with families in the Midlothian/Richmond area who are seeking a dependable, caring, and engaging nanny or babysitter. I have been babysitting since I was 14 and have experience caring for children from newborns through age 10. Most of my experience has been with infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, including regularly caring for twin 2-year-olds. Throughout high school, I also volunteered in a local kindergarten classroom because I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and build confidence. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I enjoy spending time doing arts and crafts, reading stories, imaginative play, outdoor walks, games, and other age-appropriate activities that keep children engaged while encouraging creativity and learning. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with light housekeeping, children’s laundry, meal and snack preparation, homework help, transportation, and keeping play areas organized. I have my own vehicle and reliable transportation, and I am comfortable caring for families with cats and dogs. Families describe me as patient, responsible, attentive, and dependable. My goal is always to provide parents with peace of mind while ensuring their children are cared for, encouraged, and genuinely enjoy their time with me. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and see if I would be a good fit for your childcare needs.

"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."
