Booked by 2 families in Mercer Island, WA

Hello! My name is Asmaa, and I’m currently a student at the University of Washington. I’m a dedicated and energetic caregiver with over seven years of experience caring for children of all ages. I have experience babysitting and have worked in youth summer camps for four years. I also spent the past four years as a skateboarding coach, teaching and mentoring kids in a fun, safe, and engaging environment. I'm CPR certified, and safety is always my top priority—whether we're indoors doing crafts or outside enjoying the fresh air. I have experience cooking, doing light household chores, and helping with homework for elementary and some middle school kids. I love being outdoors, staying active, and helping kids grow through movement, play, and meaningful connection. I am able to create a safe, fun, and focused environment for children of all ages. Families often describe me as patient, reliable, and great at building trust with both kids and parents. If you’re looking for someone warm, experienced, and dependable, I’d love to support your family!
