Hello! Since I used at work at a daycare and have been babysitting for over 10+ years, I have seen it all! I am able to handle sick kids, kids who have mental and physical disabilities, and anything most anything else that might happen while I babysit. I love dogs and cats (I have 2)! Also, I have my tutor certification and am fluent in Amharic. Please contact me if you have any questions! I look forward to working with you!
“Afomia is a great caregiver, she was wonderful to our 17 month old baby boy. She is professional and has a great sense of people and babies. We will definitely recommend Afomia to anyone who needs help.”

I am energetic, friendly, easy-going yet reliable and responsible. Love kids of all ages & they tend to love me. I have current extensive experience caring for children 0-12Y. I add value by being medically trained in pediatrics, being bilingual (English/Russian), engaging kids in fun learning via play and helping around the house (time permitting).
“Valerie has been such a great help for our family. She’s very professional and interactive with the kids and also very helpful around the house. Our two daughters enjoy spending time with her. ”

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
