Sydney $23 per hour for 1 child

My name is Sydney, and I am a recent graduate of Oregon State University with a degree in Archaeological Anthropology and a minor in Art History. I have hands-on experience caring for young children through both preschool work and babysitting, supporting children of all ages in both structured and home-based settings. In preschool environments, I assisted with daily routines, supervised play and learning activities, supported social–emotional development, and helped maintain a safe, organized classroom. As a babysitter, I have cared for children independently, managing meals, playtime, bedtime routines, and ensuring a calm, reliable presence for families. I am patient, attentive, and dependable, and I enjoy creating nurturing, engaging environments where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore.

Samantha $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Samantha, and I bring over 10 years of experience working with children as a teacher, along with hands-on experience caring for my nieces and nephews. I hold two associate degrees—one in Child Development (Special Needs) and one in Child Development (Early Education)—and I am currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Communication Disorders with a focus on Speech and Language Pathology. I have experience working with children of all ages and enjoy creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment where kids can learn, explore, and feel comfortable being themselves. I love engaging children in activities like arts and crafts, imaginative play, reading, and outdoor time, and I’m happy to help with homework, routines, and light meal prep when needed. In addition to childcare, I also offer pet care and am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I can assist with feeding, walking, and playtime, and I truly enjoy being around animals. I pride myself on being patient, reliable, and attentive, and I always strive to create a positive experience for both children and families. I would love the opportunity to support 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."
