Hi! My name is Eva. I’m a 29 year old based in the Bay Area, and I currently care for 3 different families on a regular basis. I’ve been babysitting for the last 3 years, with sporadic childcare experience for 15+ years before that, caring for kids as young as 3 months old to 10 years old. I also have four years of experience caring for and teaching four to six year olds and high school girls at my church, and I’ve watched my nieces, cousins, and younger siblings, including taking them to school, extracurriculars, and appointments. I tutor in French, Math, and English as well. I have my own car with a clean driving record and no accidents, so I’m safely able to drive children if needed. I love pets and am very comfortable around them.

"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."
