Randi $18 per hour for 1 child

I have worked with kids for a while now, it comes easy to me. I did volunteer work on and off with kids for about two years then I have worked with kids this whole time this past year. The age range was wide but it helped me be able to learn new skills, because the most important things when caring for a kid is there safety and happiness. I also understand that a kid is stress full, so I’m so up for taking care of household chores as well! I like to say when I’m put into a situation my great at adapting.

Maria $22 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive experience caring for children, families, and individuals in both professional and personal settings. I worked as a Supervisor at a daycare, where I was responsible for the safety, well-being, and development of children of different ages. I also have experience supporting families through my background in psychology, which has given me strong skills in communication, empathy, patience, and understanding individual needs. In addition, I have years of experience caring for older adults and family members, including helping with daily routines, providing companionship, and ensuring a safe and supportive environment. I am also comfortable caring for pets and understand the importance of consistency, responsibility, and attention to detail. My greatest strengths as a caregiver are my compassion, reliability, patience, and ability to remain calm under pressure. I am naturally nurturing, highly responsible, and genuinely enjoy helping others feel safe, respected, and cared for. I am attentive to both physical and emotional needs, and I take pride in creating positive, trusting relationships with the people I support. My combination of professional experience, life experience, strong work ethic, and caring personality makes me an excellent caregiver.

Germaine $18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lakewood, WA

Hi — My name is Germaine, and I am a caring and experienced mother of six children. My oldest child is in their 30s and my youngest is 10 years old. I also have two young grandchildren (ages 4 and 2) whom I cared for regularly before recently moving to the United States. I am offering child care services. Taking care of children is something I truly love and have done all my life. I have hands-on experience with all age groups, from newborns and toddlers to older children, through raising my own children and helping with my grandchildren. I enjoy spending time with children through simple and meaningful activities like playing games, reading, talking, and helping them learn good habits. I am patient, attentive, and always make sure children feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I can also help with light household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and keeping the home organized. I am reliable, kind, and dedicated to supporting families with their daily needs. While I do not yet have formal certifications in the U.S., my many years of real-life experience as a mother and caregiver have given me strong skills and understanding in childcare. I would be happy to provide a safe, loving, and supportive environment for your children.

Czharlene $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! :)

"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."
