Mariatu $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Mount Vernon, VA

My name is Mariatu, and I am 20 years old. I have been working as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) since I was 19 years old, beginning in 2024. Working as a CNA has given me valuable hands-on experience in patient care, responsibility, and compassion. In this role, I assist patients with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility support. I also monitor vital signs and provide emotional support to patients and their families. This experience has strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to remain calm in challenging situations. Although I truly value my experience in healthcare, I am currently looking to transition into a nanny position. I enjoy caring for others, especially children, and I believe my background as a CNA has prepared me well for this role. Being a nanny requires attentiveness, reliability, and a nurturing personality—qualities I have developed through my professional experience. I understand the importance of safety, structure, and creating a positive environment where children can learn and grow. I am responsible, trustworthy, and committed to supporting families in a meaningful way. In addition, I am preparing to enter nursing school to further my education and advance my career in healthcare. Becoming a registered nurse has been a long-term goal of mine, and I am dedicated to working hard to achieve it. My experiences as a CNA and my interest in working as a nanny both reflect my passion for caring for others and making a difference in people’s lives. I am motivated, compassionate, and eager to continue growing both personally and professionally.

Walterique $25 per hour for 1 child

Greetings, Since relocating to Washington, D. C., in 2021 to work as an au pair, my journey has been deeply enriched by my ongoing studies in Early Childhood Education. This dual experience has shaped not only my professional path but also my personal ethos. My self-concept is grounded in emotional intelligence, empathetic benevolence, nurturing tendencies, and an unwavering commitment to fostering a secure and non-judgmental atmosphere. Aligned with a deeply ingrained philosophy, I fervently advocate for guiding your children through life's journey with measured patience while enhancing their cognitive development. Academic History: - Associate's degree in Early Childhood Development -Honours degree in Music. -Master's certificate in TESOL/TEFL. -Certificate in teaching children with ADHD. -Montessori certified teacher. (AMI) -Certified by the American Heart Association adult and pediatric in CPR/AED and First Aid. Practical experience: -I have volunteered at various aftercare facilities and orphanages, focusing on 0-5-year-olds. -My friend suffered from postpartum depression, and therefore, I would assist from mornings to evenings after birth until he was 2. - I have experience in teaching in Montessori schools from ages 2-12 -Au pair for five years. -Primary school tutor for two years. -Sunday school teacher for kids 1-4 years old. Current job description: -Prep the boys for school. Drive them to and from school. -Drive them to Kumon, Karate and swimming -Organize play dates and take them on outings. -Take them to the doctor's office and haircuts -Light house cleaning -Cook. -Bathing and bedtime -Holiday assisting -24/7 care. - Montessori Education What makes me stand out: I have a passion and love for children while focusing on academics and their psychological well-being. I decided to remain in America as I will be teaching 6-12-year-olds at a Montessori in Bethesda, and therefore, practical experience is imperative. I will be working on my Master's Thesis paper in Early Childhood Development, and working with your kids will allow me to explore with them. I strongly believe that kids have human experiences, and I have to try to understand them and guide them while learning more about myself. Thank you for viewing my profile!

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
