Sila $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sila, I am 29 years old. I completed a degree in Preschool Education in my country, and after graduating I came to the United States through the Au Pair program to care for children. My favorite age group is infants, babies and toddlers, and I have extensive experience with them. I was an Au Pair for a baby from 2 months to 15 months old and his 2-year-old sister for a year, but I was taking care of the newborn and the responsibility was on me all day-full time. Morning and night routines, preparing meals, giving him baths, taking him outside, transferring to solid foods, helping with motor skill, burping him, feeding on schedule and creating a calm environment for his growth -everything was my responsibility. We enjoyed going to the park, doing puzzles, visiting the library, making rock and leaf collections, reading picture books together, playing with sensory toys, and encouraging crawling and walking. After my Au Pair year, I cared for an 18-month-old toddler for 1.5 years, until she started school. I gained experience with potty training, sleep training, preparing a variety of different meals, doing activities with her, and participating in various events. Also we enjoyed playing with princess toys and Barbies, going to the park, having playdates at the library, baking cookies, coloring, and playing with playdough. Most recently, I cared for a baby from 5 months to 14 months old. My responsibilities included preparing bottles and healthy meals, introducing solid foods, maintaining feeding and nap schedules, diaper changes, baths, developmental play, outdoor walks, and supporting important milestones such as crawling, standing, and walking. I also worked part-time or one time job for a lot of families, and in my home country I worked in both a kindergarten and a daycare. I love cooking and can prepare different kinds of healthy meals for children. I have completed CPR and First Aid training( American Red Cross), and I have a valid driver's license. I can provide references from my Au Pair family and the most recent family I worked for. I am fully vaccinated (Flu, Tdap, and COVID vaccines). I am also happy to help with light housework and to support mothers. I don't smoke, and I love animals.

Tachet $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Tachét I am writing to express my sincere interest in being considered for a Caregiver position with your organization. I am eager to begin working in a role where I can support others, make a positive difference in their daily lives, and continue to learn and grow professionally. I am a dependable, patient, compassionate, hardworking, and motivated individual who understands the importance of providing care with kindness, respect, and dignity. As a mother of three children, ages 4, 2, and 1, I have developed strong skills in patience, responsibility, organization, communication, and meeting the individual needs of children. Caring for my own children has strengthened my ability to create a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment while managing daily routines and responsibilities. In addition to my experience as a mother, I have professional experience working with children through after-school programs and as a paraprofessional. These experiences have given me the opportunity to support children with their learning, development, daily activities, and individual needs. They have also taught me the importance of patience, understanding, teamwork, communication, and building positive relationships with the children in my care. I understand that working as a caregiver requires attentiveness, empathy, reliability, and the ability to build trusting relationships. I am comfortable assisting with daily routines, providing encouragement and support, maintaining a safe environment, and following instructions carefully. I am also willing to learn from experienced professionals and continue developing my caregiving skills. My goal is to build a meaningful career in caregiving while helping those in my care feel safe, comfortable, respected, supported, and valued. I am committed to working hard, learning new skills, and providing compassionate and dependable care. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to be considered for a caregiver position. Thank you for taking the time to review my application. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my experience, qualifications, and how I can contribute to your organization and the individuals you serve.

"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."
