I really enjoy working with kids and being a part of their learning journey and experiences. I also enjoy helping parents and families to make life a little easier! I have more than 7 years of experience taking care of children in their home setting. During the school year I work within San Francisco Public Schools as a mental health therapist with elementary and middle school aged children. Let's set up a time to video chat or have a phone call before the initial babysitting start date, so I can learn more about your family and what you are looking for! I look forward to hearing from you!

“Ilana was great. On time and communicative and even on a night where they could just watch movies she mixed in some pauses and games to get the kids moving and not just being tv zombies. ”

Hi, I’m Andrea! I’m a reliable and caring babysitter with over 6 years of experience supporting families in the Bay Area. I’ve worked with children of all ages—including newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids (including twins!).

I’m CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated (COVID + boosters, flu shot, Tdap), and have a clean driving record with strong experience driving children to school, activities, and appointments. I can also help with light cooking, laundry, homework, Spanish lessons, pet care, and more. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to step in when your family needs an extra hand. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

"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."
