Sorin $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi :) my name is Sorin (they/them) and I’m a caregiver for infants, kids, seniors, and pets and can help out with household chores as well. I have been working with people of many ages and abilities for over 6 years with a bachelors in social work and CPR certification. I’ve worked at Seattle Children’s with kids and teens (5+) who have mental health and behavioral disparities, developmental and physical disabilities, and other neurodivergences. I’ve also worked with houseless young adults and adults up to 65 with mental health disparities. I also have experience working with people of all different backgrounds, (cultural, economical, non-English speaking, LGBTQ+, etc.). Although I don’t have professional experience working with infants, I do have lots of personal experience working with friend’s and family’s babies. I also may be new to the nanny scene but I am a seasoned caregiver. I am trusted, compassionate, understanding, and fun-loving. I strive to make anybody I work with feel seen and heard, I make sure what needs to be done gets done, and of course I make sure we have lots of fun along the way. With my background in working with neurodivergent kids as a behavior tech and in in-patient psych as a mental health specialist, I am very attentive to people’s needs and shifts in behaviors. I am able to read warning signs before situations escalate and if they do I know exactly what we need to do to become centered. My calming presence and attuned energy makes me a great choice as your child’s and loved one’s caregiver. Some other things about me: I love spending time with my loved ones whether that’s outside or doing a craft or watching a movie. I’ve been very into photography lately and doing photo shoots for friends or capturing wildlife in action. I love to cozy up at home with a book or my switch and a tv show on. I love making music and listening to music. I also love spending time outside swimming, hiking, camping and more.

"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."
