Aimee $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Aimee! I'm a practicing Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) and a trilingual caregiver fluent in ASL, Spanish, and English. I have 7+ years of paid childcare experience across WA, DC, and NY, working in daycares, preschools, and private homes. I am originally from Long Island, NY, and relocated to the greater Seattle area in the summer of 2024 (love it here!). I have experience caring for infants (as young as three months old) through school-age children and am comfortable caring for up to three children at a time. My style is playful, flexible, and child-led. I enjoy connecting with each child in a way that works best for them and supporting their independence through everyday routines. My background in speech-language pathology helps me bring patience, awareness, and strong communication skills to caregiving. I have a reliable car, am comfortable with pets (proud husky mom), and can assist with light household tasks as needed. I'm currently available for one-time or seasonal daytime gigs!

Nurturing children and witnessing their growth has always been a passion of mine. My positive experiences babysitting led me to pursue three years of professional childcare. I hold a graduate degree and am a certified teacher with First Aid Training and CPR Training. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games with children of all ages (0-12+). I am comfortable caring for up to three children. I am patient, creative, and friendly. I am also very comfortable enforcing household rules. I communicate with parents using their preferred method, providing regular updates. I am happy to assist with cooking, light housekeeping, carpooling, travel, and swimming supervision. Speaking English, Portuguese, and Spanish allows me to connect with more families. I am eager to bring my skills and enthusiasm to your family and help your children thrive.

“Ana was thankfully available to sit for us last minute and I look forward to hiring her again! She was on time/a few minutes early and very kind and easy to talk to. During her shift, my daughter was already in bed for the night, but I would have no hesitations about having her come during awake time.”

"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."
