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.

Alessya $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! - I’m Alessya and a current student athlete at Iona University studying Chemistry. I’m offering childcare, pet care, and household help. I’m dependable, energetic, and love creating a fun, safe environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I’ve been a gymnastics coach for about 5 years coaching children of different ages and taking care of them throughout the day. Whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, reading, helping with homework, or simply having fun, I enjoy keeping kids engaged while making safety my top priority. I also used to be a tutor at Tacoma Community College, so I’m happy to help with homework, studying, and building confidence in academic subjects whenever needed.

Raeani $10 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Raeani or Rae for short. I’ve been taking care of kids since I was 10 years old and currently working as a teacher assistant. As an oldest sister, I’ve been around kids my entire life. I’ve always enjoyed creating a fun, safe space for the little ones. I was the neighborhood babysitter for years, and since moving away I’ve been looking to find more opportunities to help! As a babysitter, my duties were making sure homework and clothes were ready for school the next day, staying on time with a bedtime/routine, meals were prepared and planned for breakfast, lunch, and or dinner, and coming up with new activities to do. As an assistant teacher, my role is to take over once the lead leaves. During my day, I prepare the snacks, put them down for nap time, change diapers, learn and teach the age appropriate curriculums, and send in live updates to the parents. I have also been a dog sitter/grown up with pets. My longest job was 13 months while the owner was out of state.

"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."
