Amalia $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Amalia (Amy is my nickname). I have been a nanny for approximately 16 years now. I have an Associate's and Bachelor's degree is child development and a California teaching credential. Child development has been a passion of mine for some time. My kindergarten teacher inspired me to become a teacher. Her warm and nurturing demeanor was profound to me, and that inspired me to pay that experience forward. The experience that I have with children ranges from newborn to middle school children. I have monitored more than one child at a time. I have CPR and first aid training via my coursework.

Dynasty $21 per hour for 1 child

I’m currently in college studying English Literature and children development. I’ll be obtaining my teacher’s credentials. Not only am I going to school to teach and understand the development of a child, I’ve grown up being the youngest in a family of 13. I’ve babysat my sibling’s kids all the time, and it’s helped me a lot with my education. I grew up with 2 dogs and 1 cat, so I have a bit experience taking care of pets as well. A little about me, I love reading, writing poetry, crocheting and dancing! I’m very easy going and love talking and meeting new people. I’m also reliable ;) I hope to become a reoccurring nanny!

“I was lucky enough to have the priviledge to have Megan as a nanny for a few months and she was exceptional. She was always on time, always on top of everything, and would go above and beyond. She has a way to connect with children and it’s so beautiful to see because you can tell she truly loves working with them. My daughter and her got so close refers to her as “sissy” and whenever I need a sitter I wouldn’t think of calling anyone beside her!”

“This young lady cared for our child from the age of two months until our child was three years old, and she did an exceptional job. She was outstanding in every aspect of care, including preparing meals, ensuring daily walks and park outings, and providing educational activities such as teaching our child Spanish. Most importantly, she consistently respected and followed the boundaries we set as parents with great care and professionalism. Entrusting someone with our child is not something we take lightly, and she exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend Ruth to any family seeking a reliable, attentive, and trustworthy caregiver.”

"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."
