Eleanor $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Eleanor but you can call me Ellie! I am a freshman at WWU and I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I am the youngest in my family but I always wanted little siblings and I’ve always loved kids. I have babysat for a variety of age groups since I was 11 years old, beginning with my newborn next door neighbor. I also have experience in leadership and teaching, as I coached ages 2-5 in gymnastics for multiple summer camps, and was in advanced leadership in high school. I am familiar with how to correctly demonstrate and describe things to children and I prioritize safety, patience, and active engagement. I also took a number of helpful AP classes during school, like psychology, so not only do I have a good understanding how their little brains work but I work hard to make sure they feel safe and understood so I can solve any problems that may occur. I am CPR certified and working on getting infant CPR certified. I grew up with two cats and a dog, and I have dog now who’s my best friend, but I’ve always loved all animals. I have pet sit for two of my old neighbors, and a handful of friends. I am allergic to cats, but I take medication for it, and I have some experience with cats, dogs, rabbits, rodents, fish and reptiles. I love cleaning and organizing, especially other spaces, and I have house sat for a number of families over the years. I also wouldn’t mind cooking or running errands.

"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."
