Sorin $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi :) my name is Sorin (they/them) and I’m a caregiver for infants, kids, seniors, and pets and can help out with household chores as well. I have been working with people of many ages and abilities for over 6 years with a bachelors in social work and CPR certification. I’ve worked at Seattle Children’s with kids and teens (5+) who have mental health and behavioral disparities, developmental and physical disabilities, and other neurodivergences. I’ve also worked with houseless young adults and adults up to 65 with mental health disparities. I also have experience working with people of all different backgrounds, (cultural, economical, non-English speaking, LGBTQ+, etc.). Although I don’t have professional experience working with infants, I do have lots of personal experience working with friend’s and family’s babies. I also may be new to the nanny scene but I am a seasoned caregiver. I am trusted, compassionate, understanding, and fun-loving. I strive to make anybody I work with feel seen and heard, I make sure what needs to be done gets done, and of course I make sure we have lots of fun along the way. With my background in working with neurodivergent kids as a behavior tech and in in-patient psych as a mental health specialist, I am very attentive to people’s needs and shifts in behaviors. I am able to read warning signs before situations escalate and if they do I know exactly what we need to do to become centered. My calming presence and attuned energy makes me a great choice as your child’s and loved one’s caregiver. Some other things about me: I love spending time with my loved ones whether that’s outside or doing a craft or watching a movie. I’ve been very into photography lately and doing photo shoots for friends or capturing wildlife in action. I love to cozy up at home with a book or my switch and a tv show on. I love making music and listening to music. I also love spending time outside swimming, hiking, camping and more.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
