Booked by 1 family in La Center, WA

I'd describe my personality as caring , intelligent , responsible I like working with kids not only because I love them , but also because I believe that we have a lot of things we can learn from each other. I do strive to provide them a warm supportive healthy environment where children can not only feel safe and loved, but also feel valued and deeply encouraged to learn , grow and become more and more confident. I'm looking for a job that gives me the chance to interact with people(especially kids) , help them (my love language is acts of help). I started working with kids when I was really young In my spare time, I like to play violin and piano , read, study (because I'm also a med student ) , read books , go hiking . One thing you should know about me is that I'm a trustworthy, experienced, patient and a kind and compassionate person My skills include responsibility , love and kindness

“Camelia helped us out last minute when our nanny was out sick. She was on time, communicative, and our daughter had a blast with her all day. Will definitely book again!”

"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."
