Hello, I'm Fatuma, a student with a passion for working with children. In 2023, I worked as a camp aide teacher at the Pacific Science Center. Due to my religion, I cannot work with dogs; but willing to work with any other animals.I am capable of handling housework and running nearby errands. I've completed a first aid class, holding a valid certificate, and plan to retake the course for a refresher soon. Seeing the kids I work with grow and show their personality is the reason why I love being a babysitter/nanny. I enjoy reading, cooking and baking, going to the park, watching movies, going out to have fun, etc.

Right on time, connected right away with my 9 yo son who is restricted to bed due to Long Covid, so grumpy. She made him happy playing games with him so he didn’t feel trapped and bored. He really liked her

Hello, I'm Sumeya, a student with a deep passion for working with children. My long-term goal is to become a pediatrician, and in the meantime, I am gaining hands-on experience as a caregiver. Last year, I worked with Amicable Healthcare as a full-time caregiver for two families and have also assisted children with disabilities. Through these experiences, including caring for infants, I've developed a genuine love for nurturing children in a safe, engaging environment. I am an energetic, physically active person with a strong interest in sports like soccer, basketball, and biking. Although I have a slight phobia of dogs, I’m actively working on overcoming it and I’m open to working in homes with dogs. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable with housework and running errands. I hold a valid first aid and CPR certification, ensuring I can respond appropriately in emergency situations. My love for children extends beyond basic care—I also enjoy teaching them creative activities like painting and engaging in outdoor adventures. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the growth and development of children while creating a positive and nurturing environment.

"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."
