Agostina 4 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Tacoma, WA

Hello! My name is Agostina (Agos), I am from Argentina and I am an infant Qualified nanny (Mom as well). I’ve been working with different families taking care of toddlers and infants! I am really good managing the schedule (naps, playing time, food, outdoor activities, play dates, tummy time and more.) I also worked as an Au Pair for two years during 2018 and 2019, so I am pretty good following family rules, maintaining a good communication with the parents and prioritizing always what’s best for the kid/kids. Currently looking for occasional or part time opportunities around Tacoma and surrounding areas. Please feel free to ask me any questions and I am more than happy to give you references as well.

“Agostina was great - she came in, immediately connected with my son, and got him down for his nap (no easy feat!)”

Emily $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Em, and I am an experienced, compassionate, and energy-loving individual who is dedicated to the world of childcare and development. With a background in child development and theater, I aspire to provide the space our children need to grow confidently, blending knowledge and teaching moments with silliness and empathy. I had the privilege to practice exactly this in my year-long experience at The Little Gym, where I worked as an instructor for ages ranging from 1-12. My specific experience lies primarily in ages 1-5, as I taught the classes involved with parents learning alongside their kiddos, as well as the independent preschool classes. Never a dull moment in these classes! We were always on our feet, learning with our bodies and brains simultaneously. My passion lies in child development, meaning that I am aware and understanding of the varying levels and differing needs of every child, no matter the age. I can identify and apply my knowledge of development and education to a wide variety of scenarios, whether it be tailoring a meal plan for our picky 2-year-old, (I cook too!) or developing a homework system together with our curious 3rd grader. I believe myself to be particularly skilled in allowing children to feel listened to and seen, ESPECIALLY in tough moments involving big emotions. On top of this, I also come with the skills of activity-planning, culinary arts, crafts, and my certifications in First Aid and CPR. I also feel it’s important to mention that I have specific knowledge and skills in children with special needs, as I was raised alongside a brother with severe ASD and grew to be very familiar with what it looks like and the special care it requires. Above everything, it is most important to me that you know that I deeply care about our kids and that there is nothing I want more than for you to feel comfortable with who you’re leaving to care for your little ones. I want you to step out that front door feeling confident that you’re in safe hands. No matter if your kiddo is at the stage where they’ve just recently made the miraculous discovery of travel by feet, perfecting belting their ABC’s to proudly show off to their school companions, or navigating the awkward independence of impending teenage-hood, I can guarantee I will be prepared for all of it every step of the way. I hope to meet you and your family soon!

Asiya $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Asiya, and I’m currently a student at the University of Washington. I’m offering reliable, caring, and responsible babysitting services for families looking for someone they can trust with their children. I have many years of babysitting experience and have been taking care of children for as long as I can remember. I’ve always been around and caring for kids, and I also have plenty of experience taking care of my own younger siblings. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how to be patient, responsible, attentive, and understanding with children of different ages. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and keeping them happy and engaged through playing, crafts, reading, outdoor activities, and age-appropriate activities. I’m also happy to help with homework, meals, bedtime routines, and other daily responsibilities. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident in the person caring for their children. I always strive to create a safe, fun, and comfortable environment while respecting each family’s routines and parenting preferences. I would love the opportunity to help your family and become a babysitter you can trust and rely on!

"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."
