Kameron $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Kameron. I have lived in Portland for a little over 6 years and I love it here. I moved here to study art history at Lewis & Clark, and graduated in 2024. Although I have limited formal babysitting experience, I have spent the last two consecutive summers with a youth conservation organization, overseeing teenagers doing conservation work in the beautiful public lands of Oregon. Through this I have come to love making connections with youth, especially in nature. I have an active Wilderness First Responder and CPR certification, and am always looking to spend more time outside.

I am a 37 year old living in Sellwood. I'm originally from Cincinnati Ohio, where I also got my undergraduate degree. While in college, I worked at a Montessori School where I have experience working with babies up to 1st graders. I've been babysitting since I was 15, and while I have no children, I am an aunt and have a dog of my own. I also own a Chevy Bolt and have a great driving record. Please reach out if you are looking for a reliable and fun sitter, and I'm happy to help out!

Petra 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Petra. I am originally from Alaska, a full-time Early Childhood Education (ECE) student at PCC, and a future teacher! I hold an Associate Degree in Music and Sonic Arts from Portland Community College, and I am a passionate singer-songwriter and drummer. My ultimate goal is to combine my love and passion for music and working with children to create a creative, enriching, and joyful environment for kids. I have been babysitting on UrbanSitter for a year now and absolutely love the amazing families I’ve met so far! Before transitioning to education, I spent 15 years in the restaurant industry and earned my culinary degree. I shifted careers because I truly connect with children. We share a spontaneous, excited-for-life energy and a deep fascination for the little things in life. I love bringing my Alaskan sense of adventure, rhythmic play, and sonic arts into outdoor adventures and daily music-making. I look forward to connecting with your family!

“I highly recommend Petra for your childcare needs! She took extensive time to get to know our child prior to watching her, and is very responsive to her needs. Petra communicates well and is prompt and reliable. My daughter adores her, and they always have fun during their time together. Petra leaves our home spotless, and even loves on our dog too. You will love 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."
