Booked by 14 families in Lakewood, WA

Hi! My name is Rosemary, but I also go by “Rose-berrie,” a playful nickname given to me by the children I’ve cared for. I’m 25 years old and have experience working at a children’s learning center in the Seattle area, where I’ve cared for infants, toddlers and preschoolers. As the youngest of a large family of six, I have also cared for my nephews (ages ranging from newborn to 4 years old), which has shown me firsthand how valuable a reliable helping hand can be for new mothers. I’ve also cared for little cousins, as well as the children of family friends and neighbors, since I was 15. Through my journey in child care, I’ve developed a genuine passion for working with kids and building strong relationships with parents. My experience, both in professional child care settings and with family, has given me skills in leading crafts, engaging in floor play, preparing meals, and keeping daily routines running smoothly. I take pride in creating a safe, happy, and engaging environment where children feel loved and supported. I am currently majoring in Early Childhood Development in college and working toward becoming a preschool teacher. Watching children learn, grow, and express their unique personalities is the most rewarding part of what I do. In addition to child care, I’m also experienced in household assistance. I have my own reliable transportation and bring warmth, professionalism, and a strong work ethic to every family I work with. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and provide care that makes life easier for you and your little ones.

Hi! I’m Logan, a caring and reliable nanny with 10+ years of experience working with kids of all ages. I love creating fun, hands-on activities that help children learn and grow while keeping them safe and happy. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, don’t smoke, and can help with meal prep, light cleaning, and pet care. Families describe me as nurturing, organized, and easygoing—I always aim to bring positivity and support into every home I work in!

Logan was very patient with our toddler and was able to provide gentle but sturdy boundaries during her time caring for our child. She’s reliable, engaging, and great at providing screen-time free activities to keep kiddos occupied. She’s professional and adheres to any parental preferences you communicate.

Amelia 1 review
Tacoma
$30 per hour for 1 child

I have been caring for children for most of my life. I have experience with infants, toddlers, middle and high school aged children. Professionally caring for children and adults for 10+ years. I was a Home Care Aide for elderly and adults with disabilities. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Family & Consumer Sciences Education that focused on Child Development and Parenting Strategies. I am currently a full time high school teacher, seeking part-time evening and weekend employment. I am comfortable working with all types of people and families. Great housekeeper, tutor, childcare professional, etc.

Amelia nurtured a strong relationship with our 2.5 and 4.5 year old (high energy) boys with laughter, educational activities and compassion. She quickly formed a bond with the boys, and hearing the chorus of laughter and thumping little feet running around our living room as we WFH'd gave us complete confidence in Amelia. She's a self-starter who instantly plugged into our little band of goofballs. If you've the opportunity I highly recommend Amelia as a childcare pro with a big heart and big ideas to keep kiddoes engaged and smiling.

Czharlene Lakewood
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Czharlene and I really like all children. My favorite color is pink, and I am currently in Nursing School to become a pediatrics nurse in the future. My parents are both teachers, so I really know a lot about how to handle children. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I used to work in geriatrics so I am very familiar with the elderly! I think I would be a great fit as a babysitter, whether it is to take your kids to and from practice or to simply watch them. Or take care of grandpa or grandma! :)

"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."
