I have been a teacher for the past 16 years for students with specials needs. I have also worked for nanny agencies on call and had my own childcare facility for a year before moving to Maui. I now live in Portland and am available on call. I love children and have loads of experience as well as qualifications/credentials. I am reliable and show up on time. I clean and tidy up too.

Hi! I’m a loving and dependable toddler mom to my 3-year-old son, and caring for children has been a big part of my life for the past 6–7 years. I have experience caring for children ranging from newborns and infants all the way up to 10 years old, giving me the ability to understand and adapt to the different needs, personalities, and routines of each age group. As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, feel comfortable with, and rely on when it comes to your little ones. I’m patient, nurturing, attentive, and always focused on creating a safe and positive environment where children can feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I enjoy keeping kids engaged through playtime, crafts, outdoor activities, reading, learning, and age-appropriate activities, while also making sure their routines and parents’ preferences are respected. Whether your child is an energetic toddler, a curious preschooler, or an independent school-age kid, I’m confident in providing loving, attentive, and responsible care. My goal is for every child I care for to feel safe, valued, and cared for just like they would at home. 💗 I’d love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust and feel confident leaving your little ones with! Child Experiences: I have experience from infant to 10 year olds! I love playing board games or doing crafts with kids! Pet Care: I’ve always been a dog lover my whole life! I can always dogsit for you while you are on vacation! I think dogs would be more comfortable in their own home so I can stop by and let them out and feed them as well! I dont mind a little walk or playing fetch with them! I don’t mind cats at all! Household Services: I don’t mind doing light housework while watching the kiddos! If the kiddos or pets need to be fed I can do that too! I can assure you that your children or fur babies will be fed a good meal!

Hi- My names Mai. I came back from teaching in Tokyo 4 years ago now. I've been working with kids from around 14 which is when I started babysitting and teaching abacus. I've been teaching abacus both in person and online for the past 10+ years but it's fun to watch kids outside an educational environment. I'm fluent in Japanese and English and am always down for outdoor adventures like swimming, biking, berry picking, or just going to the park. But I can always enjoy a good book or movie. I work 8-5 as a PM during the weekday but I’m free outside of those hours if you have a concert or date night. Hopefully, I'm able to offer some assistance to you outside of these hours. you for your understanding and reading this far!

“Mai was amazing with our daughter! She showed up on time, communicated well throughout, and had a very calming presence. Our daughter really enjoyed the time with her and my wife and I felt at ease while we were out. Would definitely recommend!”

Booked by 47 families in La Center, WA

Hey there! My name's Charlee and I've been a caregiver for over 5 years. I am great with all ages but i specialize in infants and toddlers. I also work with a childcare agency and abide by their guidelines and rules in my freelance work. For example, I do not allow television unless specified by the parent. The children and myself will spend time doing activities. I am an artist so I like do do activities that use our imagination and creativity. I am also a tutor so please specify if you would like me to help with certain homework or specific activities like reading or speech. I do light cleaning, cooking and laundry if needed. Please note that if you have your rate posted as “based on experience” and it is lower than my base rate of $17 when I get accepted for the job I will be canceling the job and not accepting a rebooking. This happens way too often and is unfair to sitters. Thank you for your understanding.

Hello, I am a simple country boy growing up on a dairy farm in Pennsylvania. I am the youngest of seven children and all my siblings are married and live on farms. On many occasions, I sat for my 40-45nieces and nephews and took care of the farm work as well. I love children and animals.

"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."
