"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Hi, I’m Miracle! I’m a nanny and Newborn Care Specialist with years of experience caring for babies, toddlers, and older kids. Caring for children comes naturally to me, it’s truly what I love most. I first started working with kids in Nigeria as a preschool teacher and nanny, and since moving to the U.S., I’ve had the joy of helping families welcome their little ones and adjust to those first precious weeks and beyond. I’m confident with everything from diapers, bottles, and soothing to healthy sleep routines and creating a calm, loving space for both baby and parents. I’m currently a nanny for a wonderful family Monday–Friday, 11am–6pm, but I also make time for families who need extra support. I’m available for date nights, early mornings, overnights, and regular weekend care. Families often say I bring a calming presence and that I treat their kids like my own. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, reliable, and love bringing both care and joy into children’s routines. I’m excited to meet more families through UrbanSitter and would love the chance to support yours.
“Miracle was so lovely! Communicated well, responded promptly to a last minute request and kept my daughter entertained in a small hotel room. My daughter immediately sat down next to her and I could leave swiftly feeling comfortable that everything was under control and that my daughter was in good hands. Much gratitude to Miracle! ”

Noreen $20 per hour for 1 child
I have been a caregiver for all of my adult life. I am a physical therapist in a hospital for over 20 years. I work in the NICU, with infants and toddlers as outpatients, and with the inpatient geriatric population. Additionally, I am of mom of two. I have an 18 year old daughter and a 12 year old son. We also had an amazing dog named Henry for nearly 14 years, so I am comfortable with animals. I am good at adjusting to individual and family needs. I am looking to supplement my hospital job with something I enjoy and am comfortable doing.
