Jill $15 per hour for 1 child

I grew up in a family of 5 and I’m the middle child, we all have children and I’m surrounded by children. I love to cook, I’m a very good cook and grocery shopper as well! I love children. I have 2 grandchildren and they are the light of my light. I helped raise them until they moved to Oklahoma when they were 9 and 11. I cooked, cleaned, took them to church, school, helped with homework, all the extra things their Mom needed help with. My mother lived with me the last 5 years of her life. She was sick the last 2. She was on home hospice with me the last 6 months of her life and I was her caregiver. When I was in my early 20’s I was a CNA in a couple of nursing homes, so I knew what to do. I took the last year of work off to be with her. I loved taking care of her. I’m a very loving Christian woman and I would love to take care of your family. I love dogs too and I’m happy to pet sit as well! I have decided to not go back to high pressure sales and be of service to a nice family that needs a nice older woman that has some energy and experience.

$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Lisa, but all my families call me Nina (my grandma nickname). I'm a mom to four grown children and grandmother to seven! I have been a professional nanny for over 20 years and I absolutely love it. Families face so many challenges today and I love coming along side parents and making their life easier and their homes run smoother. Knowing what families need before they even ask is my superpower! From newborn care to taking tweens to and from activities, I've done it all! I honestly love cooking, cleaning, and laundry and am happy to help in whatever ways makes sense for your family. I also know how important trust and communication are when inviting someone into your home and I pride myself on being honest, dependable, and flexible as your needs grow and change. I currently have a wonderful family that I care for after school M-TH, but am available for weekends, evenings, and daytime hour or backup care on school closures or sick days. I look forward to finding the right family to support!

“Lisa was a life saver! We were fortunate to have Lisa watch our son for a little over a year, until we moved away for work. As a first-time mom she made me feel at ease. She helped with sleep training and getting a good routine that worked for our family. She became part of our family right away. She goes above and beyond. She took our son to the park, library and to playdates. She has great communication and very reliable. We miss her every day!!”

Kristi 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a loving and committed teacher with years of experience teaching and working with children ages birth to 6 in a variety of settings. I was the owner and provider of Early Years Development Center for many years, I also worked in preschools and infant toddler programs over 10 years in the greater Portland Metropolitan area. I have an Associates degree in Early childhood education, current CPR/ First aid. I have taken many trainings related to the field including Safe back to sleep, I have a passion for Early Childhood learning and play, and learning and discovering new things. I love animals, travel, reading, walking and my Corgi dog Lucy!

“Kristi was my children's favorite daycare/preschool teacher! My children are now 7 and 3 years old, and Kristi cared for them from ages 3 years and 3 months, respectively. Kristi was quick to establish a trusting relationship with both children. She fostered bonds through play, kindness, and sensitivity to each child’s personality and needs. Kristi was always the first to offer engagement and comfort when we walked through the door in the morning. Her proactive, upbeat attitude always helped make transitions easier on everyone and won the kids over in the process. We always felt secure leaving our infant in Kristi’s capable and experienced hands. We also appreciated Kristi’s consistent and clear communication. She was our best source for funny anecdotes about our kids, issues that we should track at home, photos of the kids’ daily activities, and generally keeping us in the loop. We are so grateful to have had Kristi be there with our kids and for our kids over the past four years- we highly recommend her!”

"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."
