Booked by 25 families in Gaithersburg, MD

Hello Parents/ Guardians, my name is Italia-Karine (she/her). I am a college student majoring in Early Education Technology and Nursing. Outside of my academic endeavors, I am the eldest child of a migrant family (from Cameroon). My familial life plays a significant role in my ability to care for children and seniors as I've constantly lived and catered towards grandparents, younger siblings, and cousins. On a professional note, I am currently employed as a private educator with an organization. Under this title, I communicate effectively and efficiently between myself, my leader, and the supervisors of the schools I am scheduled to teach in, I create lesson plans for our classroom time, guide school-aged children on the importance of social studies through fun and interactive methods, as well as oversee the safety of the students while they are in my care. I also have a CPR certification and a State-recognized document stating that I am in good standing to care for children ( no abusive record). I speak three languages, English, French, and Spanish. I am exceptionally good at tutoring and helping young children remain engaged in educational tasks ie homework, and studying sight words. I also excel in domestic chores such as cooking healthy meals, cleaning, completing necessary errands, etc. In the past I have volunteered and worked as a health aide. This helps with knowing how to professionally best care for anyone who may be facing a limitation on what they're able to do independently. I have a valid driver's license as well. I am based in the Rockville area of Maryland but I am more than willing to go beyond this to support you and your family. I am also flexible in terms of pricing and time so feel free to inbox based on your situation. I hope my introduction has left a positive impression in your mind! I hope to hear from you soon!

"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."
