Booked by 4 families in Castro Valley, CA

Hello! I’m Carla but I prefer to be called by Carli. I considered myself as a reliable, caring, friendly and positive person who tries to make the best out of every situation. I’ve been taking care of newborns, infants, toddlers since I was 18 years old and I have experience on taking care of twins as well. In my free time I like to cook and bake, listening to music, go out with friends and family, reading, going hiking, etc. I really enjoy doing this activities with the kids too. The most important reason why I enjoy taking care of kids is that I love seeing how they develop and learn new things every day. Have a great day and thank you for taking time to get to know me a little bit better. I’m looking forward to hear from you. •I’m happy to work with families with pets. • I’m fully vaccinated. • Can provide references. • CPR certified Please contact me for more info.

“Carli was fantastic. She was energetic, responsible, and always positive. Our two busy boys - toddler and baby - both fell in love with her right away. She created adventures for them and ensured they’re active and happy while staying safe. Both boys have food allergies, and Carli’s thoroughness made us feel safe. She made mealtimes fun and both boys ate well. Carli also patiently read book after book with our oldest until he finally wanted to nap. In short, Carli was everything you could ask for in a nanny and we hope that she’ll come work with our family again soon.”

Booked by 6 families in Castro Valley, CA

Hi! I’m a mom of four with many years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teens. I’ve worked in both private and public schools and have spent the last 15 years as a full‑time nanny. Even with all that experience, I still approach every child with curiosity, patience, and a sense of fun. Families describe me as calm, steady, and very dependable. I love creating days that feel peaceful, engaging, and full of little adventures — reading together, exploring parks, doing simple crafts, listening to music, or just noticing the small things kids love to point out. I love answering their questions about the world around them. I believe in consistency and open communication, and I am happiest when I can blend into a family’s rhythm rather than change it. Outside of childcare, I train and compete with my dogs and enjoy being around all kinds of animals. I'm happy to help with pet care. I’d love to support a family who values kindness, reliability, and a warm, steady presence in their home. --Leslie CPR/FA certified, TrustLineRegistered, Reliable Fully Insured Vehicle Numerous Exemplary References

"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."
