Emilia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Emilia, and I am offering child care, pet care, and household services! I absolutely love working with kids and have ample experience with kids of all ages (infants to adults)! However, I have worked the most with preteens. I have been babysitting since I was 14, and my previous job was providing 1:1 therapy for kids with autism in a clinical setting. Many of my responsibilities, in both settings, include tutoring, teaching verbal speech, skill acquisition, driving to and from school and other extracurricular activities, and preparing meals. I am also a very creative person and love to do all kinds of crafts, and will play just about any of game! I also love animals! While I don’t currently have any of my own, I grew up with a lot of animals and have cared for many kinds of animals! Even including some farm animals! I am happy to provide household services such as cooking/meal prep, cleaning, running errands, and gardening! Some of my certifications include CPR and First Aid, Childcare Health and Safety, Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect, Assaultive Behavior Management, and Nonviolent Crisis Intervention.

Lisa $23 per hour for 1 child

My name is Lisa and I’m a 35 year old currently living in SE Portland. Many of my close friends and family have small children that I have been fortunate to spend a lot of time around. Along with caring for my 3yr old niece often, I am comfortable and confident with children of a wide age range-I would love to assist your family in any way needed. I’m happy to assist with homework, dinner and any light housework that needs to be done. And I’m a former pet sitter (have my own dog and cat now) so I am happy to help out walking and feeding pets as needed. Please let me know if you would like any other specific information from me!

"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."
