Hi parents! I’m an attentive, trustworthy caregiver with extensive experience supporting children from the toddler/diaper stage up through age 8. Whether it’s keeping little ones safe and entertained, keeping up with routines, or engaging older kids in active, imaginative play, I focus on creating a supportive, positive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. What I bring to your family: Broad Experience: Patient, practical, hands-on care for every stage—from diaper changes, nap schedules, and toddler milestones to engaging early elementary-aged children. Language Integration: Native/fluent Spanish speaker! I'm happy to weave conversational Spanish into daily routines, storytime, games, and activities to help your child learn or practice naturally.

Hello there, I'm from Colombia, specifically from the region known as the Coffee Triangle. I moved to Seattle in 2021 as an Au Pair, I worked and lived with 2 wonderful families. I just finished my first year of a masters program in Learning Sciences and Human Development at UW. For my summer break I am offering childcare, senior care, household services and pet care to help save up some money. I find it meaningful to work with children, I love learning with and from them. I have experience with infants, toddlers and kids. I enjoy spending time outside, reading, and following the kid's interests. I am willing to try Senior Care. I'm a good listener, attentive and patient. I can cook, clean, organize and do other tasks. I am comfortable taking care of cats and friendly dogs. I could work as a household assistant too. I'm a native Spanish speaker with a Bachelors Degree in Modern Languages. I can offer Spanish tutoring services, I'm hoping to get a head start on my career in education. I'd love to hear more about you and your families needs, I hope we can be a good match.

"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."
