Booked by 10 families in National City, CA

Hi I’m Evalina I offer childcare, Senior care, Pet care as well as house sitting and occasional cleaning if needed. I’ve been babysitting and nannying since I was 15 so about 10 years. From infants to teenagers. I was valedictorian in high school so I don’t mind tutoring or helping with homework. I’ve watched 8 kids at once so I’m fine with big families. Watched twins newborns so always ready to jump in and help. I have no pet allergies so If you have animals thats fine I have experience with lots of breeds of dogs and even cats as well as many different reptiles. At the moment I do not have a car but I’m always early as you can check from previous reviews there will be no problem with me being reliable and on time.

"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."
