Booked by 1 family in La Center, WA

Hello! My name is Allegra. I am a certified Reiki Practitioner and Voice Teacher. I am told I am warm, friendly, positive and a good friend. I love laughing and smiling as my name suggests and am known to sing and play music to those I serve as relief and joy-making. I love little ones and have cared for my nieces and nephews and friends kids for quite some time. I am good at coming up with crafts, outdoor walks and play time and happy to help parents where I can. I have experience early on in my career working as a full-time live-in aid for a woman with severe Autism and disability advocacy and working with those with disabilities are near and dear to my heart. I love working with older folks whether they need help as a companion for groceries or health care, or if they just want a friendly person to play a game with or watch a show with. I have recently served as a caregiver for my father for the last several months and cared for him in hospice through his passing this fall. I have a gift for working with those and the families of those who are severely ill, who have gone through major loss or transition or perhaps are at the end of life themselves. As a practitioner I am attune to caring for those in pain, those with anxiety & depression, ptsd & complex mental states. I am trained in healing touch and use sound and music as therapy. I am told I am a very soothing, calming, grounded practitioner and that people feel very safe with me. If these words in my profile resonate with you, I'd love to talk to you further about what your needs are at this time and how my skills and background my best serve you! Must note: I am a huge animal and plant person of all kinds :)

Hi! I’m Dakota and I am currently in grad school at PSU for clinical psychology. Upon graduation I’ll be a therapist! I am offering child care, pet care, & household services. I love interacting with kids and seeing how their little brains work and process the world. tapping into play as an adult is so important and little ones are a great example of that. I have been working with kids since I was 14 years old and still watch my friend’s kiddos to this day. Ranging from infant to young children 10-12 years old. I also love pets! I have two cats of my own and grew up with lots of dogs around so I welcome a home that has a furry friend. I can’t wait to meet you and your family :)

"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."
