Booked by 1 family in La Center, WA

Hi, I'm Madison and I'm a fun, reliable, and caring person who's passionate about helping kids learn, grow, and feel supported. I've spent the last six years working with children in all kinds of settings - as a babysitter and a Live-In Nanny. Those experiences have taught me how to balance structure with fun, keep routines running smoothly, and handle any situation with patience and understanding. I'm also a U. S. Army veteran, so being on time, dependable, and organized is second nature to me. I love creating activities that are both educational and exciting for kiddos whether it's crafts, outdoor adventures, or helping with homework. If you're looking for someone who's responsible, upbeat, and great at connecting with kids, I'd love to help your family out!

Kerry $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I've been working in childcare since I was 12 years old (in a day care) and started to nanny professionally at 18. I recently was laid off from my job after being there for almost 8 years! The family grew out of needing a nanny. So I need a family to care for 🥹 I've worked with many other families, sometimes multiple at a time (just different care jobs for families that need part time help), as well as several other families full time. I've also done lots of caregiving work for people with disabilities and occasionally the elderly. I've had non-nanny jobs too, working in a library, a printmaking studio, and a couple coffee shops. About me aside from work--I've went to Oregon College of Art & Craft and graduating in 2014 with a focus on Book Arts and ceramics. So I'm creative! I keep and etching press at home and love to help kiddos make and learn about art. Lots of drawing and creativity are important to me. I'm also passionate about animals--I have a dog and cat and used to have a bunny as well. I care about all animals. My dog is a little beagle named Tulip who came from an animal testing facility. My cat is a 12 year old mutt cat named Gaely. I hope to help out in any way possible. Cooking, cleaning, and attention to details are a strong spot for me. I love to help organize--I know how hard it can be to keep everything in place when you have kiddos. Wishing you luck on your search! <3 Kerry

"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."
