Melissa $28 per hour for 1 child

Experienced child care provider with a toddler know how. With 15+ years experience working for the US Army as a childcare provider, I offer high quality care that coincides with Department of Defense standards. I strive to help children feel confident in their own bodies and facilitate healthy friendships. I consider myself an alt person (take that as you may) and have tattoos and piercings. I think it’s great for children to have experiences that are normal for the culture and community that we live in. If you would like your child(ren) to have safe, nurturing, adventurous childcare experience, please reach out and book my services.

Paul $21 per hour for 1 child

Caring for others comes naturally to me. As a Substitute Education Support Professional for Tacoma Public Schools, I work closely with children from preschool to high school, including those with special needs, providing patience, guidance, and support every day. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Humanities from Washington State University, which has strengthened my ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I believe in creating a warm, safe environment—whether it’s helping a child learn, offering companionship to a senior, or making sure pets feel loved and cared for. I’m dependable, empathetic, and always ready to lend a helping hand.

"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."
