Sophia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Sophia! I am currently a student at MHCC studying for nursing! I am offering child, senior, and pet care as well as some house keeping. I have been working in assisted memory senior care as an in-home care giver and also in a facility for about 5 years now. There, I prepared food, I did transferring, changes, cleaning, showering, medical applications, monitoring, feeding and behavioral and mental health as well. I don’t have much experience with children other than babysitting my nieces and nephew(toddlers and older)a little bit when I was younger but I really want to have more experience and learn more since I am currently taking a course on child development for my studies. I love children and I hope to learn more on how to care for them and how to do it well in the physical and mental aspects. I will try my best to provide a good and healthy environment for the children so they can learn and be their best selves. I have only learned to cook and clean at home and I find myself to be organized and a good thorough cleaner. So I don’t mind to offer some of my services in that! I grew up with dogs and caring for them and I love them so much as well as cats! I currently have two lovely cats and have lots of experience with cats as well. I am happy to offer dog or cat sitting services as well.

I am a graduate from Lewis and Clark college. i graduated with a bachelors in Biology. I have watched children at my aunts church occasionally and have babysat for a few families long term. I have 3+ years experience with children as young as 4 months old. I also have experience with children that have learning disabilities and down syndrome. I love to babysit because I plan on becoming an OBGYN or pediatrician. I just love to be around children and help then grow and learn. Also I am a stickler for the outdoors!! I am also First aid/CPR certified and BLS certified as well.

“Laloni was punctual, friendly, and a natural with our shy two year old son. Blake was all smiles when we came home and talks about her coming to play again. I was very impressed with Laloni and look forward to hiring her in the future.”

Booked by 30 families in Troutdale, OR

Unavailable from 7/14-8/29 Hello! After graduating with my Bachelor’s Degree in Biology and a minor in psychology, I was offered the opportunity to substitute teach for the school district. For six years I was lucky enough to be a substitute teacher for ages K-12. My passion for child development and psychology makes me eager to provide children with an environment conducive to being a healthy and happy child, while catering to each child's uniqueness and supporting their greatest endeavors. Because of my wide range of substituting, I have experience with behavioral differences, children of all levels of skillset, mindset, backgrounds, and ages. Much of my time was spent at the Montessori school working with gifted students and the other bit of my time was at the behavioral academy for children who benefitted from a bit more TLC, in between these extremes I was regularly subbing in traditional classrooms. Due to the pandemic, and the closure of schools, I began working in research and development at a lab in Washington and I have since dabbled in healthcare as a CNA, doing so was rewarding and helped solidify my passion for caring for others and taught me a great deal about caring for seniors as well. My current career goals are centered to be in healthcare within the next year. In my free time you can find me in the sunshine, chasing my crazy beagle, paddle boarding, and experimenting in the kitchen.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
