Hi! My name is Yabi and I am an MA Development Studies student based in Germany but back in the US for a while to work on my thesis. I love children and have worked with them throughout my life. Growing up in Ethiopia, I volunteered at multiple orphanages, taught English at schools and babysat for family friends. I moved to Denver, Colorado in June 2013 where I continued to babysit for family friends, then moved to San Francisco, where I worked regularly on UrbanSitter for almost four years while completing my BA. In my free time, I enjoy books, travel, badminton, languages, and going on walks near the water. I am passionate about education and am currently studying to earn my TEFL certificate. I also have a BA in International Studies with minors in African Studies and Politics. Additionally, I am fluent in English and Amharic; I have limited working proficiency in German; I can read and write in Arabic; and I am currently learning Mandarin. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

“Yabi is great!”

Working with Children has always brought me happiness, Teaching to maintain Hygiene(If its a concerns and parents want obviously), as well as teaching good manners, math and anything that needs to be taken care of, always be thankful. Spanish speaking, don’t mind teaching at all. Love being able to be there for your kids when you are not available, keeping them comfortable and distracted I have 2 beautiful nieces 2 and 4 year old niece that gives me strength and passion to love kids even more and appreciate those mom what they do for them. (I know its not easy!) Few days/hours a week I give my sister some time off for me to be with my nieces, for her to rest or do any errands which she loves including date nights since both my nieces where born, just loved being a present aunt. And they seeing me grow with them as we taught them about my pregnancy. They were so thrilled to meet my baby. That now all they do is ask for him first. Recently I became a mother with my first baby boy. He is 9 months old. Since day 1 my mother instinct kicked in with pain, I continued with my goals (no medication for labor-breastfeeding) was able to accomplish them just how I planned to. I have help from my husband as he had paternity leave. Yet I still want to do almost everything. I completely take over at night, bath routine, wash/sanitize pump parts/bottle. All while also making sure I meet my protein intake for milk supply. Practically I just have dad for soothing/burping. My baby name is Liam. He is the most wonderful thing that could happen to me and couldn’t ask for anything else in the world. I follow a schedule for him to sleep through the night. Always with the help of my sister as she is Doula (childcare/postpartum experienced) and personally experienced she provides me with knowledge up to date, formally showing my interest in following her footsteps. Love dogs and cats, former pet owner. I am fully vaccinated I and current with all. Experienced on childcare worked as a Receptionist for Pediatric Clinic for a couple of years. Then Pediatric Dentistry as a Hospital Admin. & Dental Assistant Trainee. Currently on maternity leave with no pay. And wouldn’t love nothing more than to be able to work with him while I do what I love.

"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."
