I have years of experience making/preparing delicious meals, running household errands, taking kids out on adventures, light housekeeping, diaper changing, scheduling bottle-feeding/small-solid foods, bathing, nap-time, potty training, etc. Before COVID-19, I worked at Ballet Hispánico located in Manhattan, NY teaching young children how to dance, to children ages 3-17 years old. I have 3 years of full-time and part-time experience being a nanny and babysitter. * 3-4-year-old twins * 6-22-month-old babies There is much more to say about me; if interested, please feel free to reach out so that you can get to know me even more. fully vaccinated, including a booster shot.

Hi, My name is Maryam, I'm 19 years old and I'm currently in college for biomedical science. Growing up with my mom owning a daycare for ten years taught me invaluable lessons in creating a nurturing environment for children.

From managing diverse personalities to understanding individual needs, I've cultivated a deep appreciation for fostering growth in a loving environment. My caregiving extends to various ages and needs, including children, seniors, and pets. I prioritize kindness, respect, and personalized care tailored to each person's preferences. In addition to caregiving, I excel in household management and essential services, ensuring both practical needs and emotional support are met in a tidy and comfortable environment. Overall, my journey as a caregiver is characterized by genuine warmth, patience, and a commitment to creating supportive environments. These qualities, coupled with diverse caregiving experiences, empower me to positively impact the lives of those I care for.

"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."
