Kiss'Shonna $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kiss'Shonna and I am seeking a full time caretaking position for children, pets and/or households. I am a well rounded individual that has had extensive experience in taking care of children in both academic and recreational settings, along with professional pet and house sitting through Trusted House Sitters (happy to provide reviews from previous sits). I have worked as a nanny before and have cared for families with up to five kids. I have a Masters Degree in Counseling Studies and completed a semester's worth of school counseling services to students from Kindergarten to fifth grade. I was also a Mutli Tier Systems of Support paraeducator for high school students. I currently work as a paralegal and would like to find a long term position that allows me to engage in my natural skill sets of providing a nurturing environment for kids, pets, and their families. I value play based learning, transparency and communication, and a balance of flexibility and routine. I am a responsive and engaged caregiver who seeks to enhance your pre-existing routines and flow rather than disrupting it. I understand that young kids especially benefit from following a predictable routine. I am a great cook and know how to prepare meals for different dietary needs and can perform housekeeping duties such as laundry, dish-washing, and general tidying. If I sound like a good fit, I would love to hear from you!

I find joy in creating delicious meals and ensuring that everything is prepared and presented beautifully.

I am excited about the opportunity to bring my skills and enthusiasm to a new role where I can continue to grow and contribute.

Germaine $18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Tacoma, WA

Hi — My name is Germaine, and I am a caring and experienced mother of six children. My oldest child is in their 30s and my youngest is 10 years old. I also have two young grandchildren (ages 4 and 2) whom I cared for regularly before recently moving to the United States. I am offering child care services. Taking care of children is something I truly love and have done all my life. I have hands-on experience with all age groups, from newborns and toddlers to older children, through raising my own children and helping with my grandchildren. I enjoy spending time with children through simple and meaningful activities like playing games, reading, talking, and helping them learn good habits. I am patient, attentive, and always make sure children feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I can also help with light household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and keeping the home organized. I am reliable, kind, and dedicated to supporting families with their daily needs. While I do not yet have formal certifications in the U.S., my many years of real-life experience as a mother and caregiver have given me strong skills and understanding in childcare. I would be happy to provide a safe, loving, and supportive environment for your children.

"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."
