Shannon $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Shannon. I was recently laid off after working at Amazon for the last 6 years and am returning to childcare as I figure out my next career move. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household services. I am the oldest of 5, with two siblings 10 years younger than me, so childcare was my inherited first job. I became the go to babysitter in my neighborhood until college. At 12 I started an apprenticeship with a dance instructor and taught children ages 2 to 14 for over a decade. Throughout college I ran the afterschool program at one of the schools in the Kyrene School District in Tempe, Arizona. I managed our “Kindergarten Club” to separate the younger kids and give them more individualized activities and attention. I instituted a reading program and have a lifelong passion for childhood literacy. I returned to childcare while getting my MBA from Seattle Pacific University and became a nanny to a two year old girl from 2[removed]. Before Amazon I was working as an interior designer and have a gift for organizing and decorating a home. I am available to run errands and help with household chores or even organize that closet you’ve been neglecting. I have the friendliest miniature long haired dachshund named Fonda and would love to care for your animals as well!

Booked by 1 family in Kirkland, WA

I worked in childcare for 9 years. I first started out at Canyon Hills community Church in 2017, until Covid hit. Then by 2020 I applied to a full-time job as a teacher at Bright horizons in Kirkland. I developed a love for working with kids each year, that allowed me to begin my process to work in a school setting by going to college. I’m set to graduate 2028. I enjoy watching children grow as I’m with them and helping. I have cats of my own and I’ve had dogs, so I’m very experienced in caring for them when needed

"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."
