Booked by 1 family in Mercer Island, WA

Hello my name is Anairis but you can call me Ana :). I am a full time nursing student with 2 years nursing assistant experience with older adults. Working with older adults has been a joy, I love building strong connections and being a reliable person for them. I’m able to assist with activities of daily living. I occasionally babysit my nieces and nephews whose ages range from 10 months- 10years. I’m currently a babysitter for a family, taking care of a 2,5, and 8 year old. I hope to work in pediatrics because children are curious and fun to be around. I’d be happy to tutor as well. I can get creative with dancing, story telling, cooking and crafts. I have 1 dog who is 9 years old but I love all pets! I am BLS/CPR certified, first aid certified, and nursing assistant certified. I have a driver license and car. I love interacting with people of all ages and pets!

ifttu $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Ifttu, a 24-year-old student at Highline College, and I'm excited to offer my child care services! Growing up in a big family with eight nieces and three nephews of all ages, I've had plenty of hands-on experience. My mom ran a daycare, and I spent years working alongside her, which really shaped my child care skills. I also spent summers during high school as a frisbee counselor, where I not only taught kids how to play but also emphasized the importance of staying active and being themselves. After that, I found my calling as a nanny for some amazing families in Seattle. It's been such a rewarding experience! When it comes to child care, I love bringing out kids' creative sides through art, music, and play. I'm a big believer that an active child is a healthy child, and I'm always up for reading time too! My main goal is to make sure every child in my care is not only learning but also having a blast and feeling valued. I'm flexible with my hours and more than happy to chat about wages that work for everyone. Thanks for considering me—I can't wait to meet 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."

"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."
