Vaccinated & boosted! experienced, professional, silly, loving! Most recent background check - June 2025. Red Cross Adult/Child/Infant CPR & First Aid Certification 6/2025 Parents have called me "baby whisperer" and "Maya Poppins"; a three year old called me "booty butt"! I can handle anything - and try my best with a smile! I've worked with children from ages 2w to 13y here! From KG teacher and early childhood curriculum developer, teacher trainer and University lecturer, I've worked extensively in education. After most of a decade abroad and a wild pandemic, I just finished my doctorate in education (March 2023!). I love working with children and appreciate having a flexible schedule. With little ones, I'm silly and creative (and love to share my published children's book!). I understand tears and have the patience to soothe and work with the frustration, exhaustion, or confusion behind them. For parents, I'm super tidy, reliable, a great communicator, and have a CA driver's license! I have lived and worked all over the world and have a social justice mindset that informs my life and work. Also available for high-end tutoring, development evaluations (ages 2-6), middle/upper grade social services, and personal assistant services at other rates.

Maya is a wonderful caregiver! Our daughter had a great time with her. She is kind, playful, easy to be around and talk to. We highly recommend her!

"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."
