Looking for work as a babysitter or nanny

Meet Amaiyah

  • Speaks English
  • Comfortable with pets

My name is Amaiyah ("uh-myah") and one thing that I will absolutely never grow out of is the belief that life gets to be fun! I do my best to make all of my responsibilities as enjoyable as possible and I believe that joy rubs off on everyone I encounter. My working history starts in an environment where children are the forefront, an amusement park back in my home city Brooklyn, New York. From there I’ve spent the last 6 years babysitting for families in my neighborhood, to working in daycares and summer camps, all of which I enjoyed so much because it allowed me to do what I’m naturally great it, being nurturing and expressing my creativity. All of that has lead me to my current role as a Lead Instructor at a homesteading school for children in the Chicagoland area. Nannying/babysitting more full-time just feels like a natural Read more progression. Working with so many children on a daily basis whether it’s classes, parties, or the weekly after school programs that I lead is so much fun but I would like to explore focusing my skills on a more intimate level and really getting to know and allow a family or a few to trust and be able to call on me as a childcare professional. I am hoping that would be you and your family! Please don’t hesitate to set up an interview with me so that we can discuss the role more.

Amaiyah was excellent. Arrived on time, was flexible with my schedule and awesome with my two daughters (4 and 7). She played will with them all night. Cleaned up when they made and was in great spirits the whole time. Very professional and curtius. I hope to see her again soon, and highly recommend!
