Promise $25 per hour for 1 child

I have lifelong, hands-on experience caring for children and elderly family members. From a young age, I helped raise multiple siblings, managing daily routines such as changing, feeding, bathing, school preparation, bedtime routines, and providing consistent supervision and emotional support. I also assisted with creative activities, crafts, and companionship to encourage development and comfort. In addition, I supported the care of my grandparents, helping with personal care, household tasks, and companionship. One of my siblings is autistic, giving me experience with patience, adaptability, and understanding individualized needs. These experiences have made me reliable, nurturing, and highly attentive to the physical and emotional well-being of those in my care.

Booked by 3 families in Olympia, WA

My name is Claira. I love kids and am an aspiring mother. I used to baby sit for a colleague of mine, and I had a ton of fun doing so. I am a very caring and compassionate person, especially when it comes to watching after someone else's children. I understand that a parents child is their whole world, so I will do everything I can to make sure that they are cared for to the best of my ability. I also enjoy animals. I am a pet parent; have been my whole life. I currently have a dog and a 2 chinchillas. I have never met a dog I could not connect with. Caring for animals is one of those things that just comes naturally to me, so if you need someone reliable and with tons of experience taking care of pets, I'm your gal :) Just as a note. I take the COVID-19 pandemic seriously. I am fully vaccinated, and will not work with any family that is not. I value my health, and the health of those around me. I reserve the right to request proof of vaccination when meeting a new family.

“Claira was very sweet and our three year old had a blast playing with her! We will be using her again! ”

Danica $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families, my name is Danica. I am a dedicated, nurturing, and reliable nanny with experience caring for children from 2 months to 14 years old. I am BLS, CPR, and First Aid certified, and safety is always my top priority. I have many years of experience working with children, starting with babysitting my younger cousins and neighborhood kids growing up, and continuing professionally with families. I truly love supporting children’s development and creating a warm, engaging, and structured environment where they feel safe, seen, and encouraged to grow. I have my own reliable vehicle and can assist with school drop offs and pick ups, transportation to activities, and errands as needed. I am also happy to help with cooking, meal prep, light tidying, children’s laundry, and homework support. I plan to pursue schooling in Early Childhood Education because working with children is not just a job for me, it is something I genuinely feel passionate about long term. I value open communication with parents and strive to be someone your family can fully trust and rely on. I look forward to connecting with you. 💗

"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."
