Susan $22 per hour for 1 child

I raised 4 children by myself, and 2 foster sons. Then grandchildren. I can cook, clean up, and have fun with whoever I'm with. More than 4 kids is negotiable. Times and days are negotiable. I am very honest and trustworthy. I was a certified Lab Tech for 10yrs and a hairstylist/business owner for 42yrs. So I am familiar with sanitation. I have a lot of experience with a large family. Took care of both of my parents as they passed from cancer. Have great recommendations if you'd like them. I retired from hair a year ago, but still do housecalls for my disabled clients.

Danielle $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Danielle and I have worked in the health room for the Bethel School District for the past 2 years. I work with all kinds of children with health conditions, mental conditions, diabetics, emergency situations, etc. I am quick on my feet and have to multi-task often. I give daily medications and emergency medications throughout the year. I have experience helping students ages 5 and up stay calm during physically and mentally stressful situations. Ages 5 and up is what I am experienced in, but I am comfortable with ages younger than 5 as well. I am also a Graduate student at Eastern Washington University’s online program for an MBA. One day I would love to work in finance or accounting! I also have 3 years of experience working with the elderly in a retirement home, worked with all kinds of animals including farm animals (I was an equestrian all of middle and high school) and I am willing to help with household chores such as laundry, dishes, etc. as well. I believe my skills are suitable to help out any family that would need it and I look forward to helping out!

Hayley $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Hayley, I am 23 years old, and I am a fun, patient, and engaging, and experienced babysitter! I have been working in a professional childcare setting as a preschool teacher for 5 years now and have been babysitting on the side for 5 months now. . I’m CPR certified, have my own car, and am currently taking classes to get my AA in early childhood education. My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine-focused, and creative space to learn and grow into a wonderful person.

Booked by 14 families in Rainier, 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.

"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."
