Kiss'Shonna $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kiss'Shonna and I am seeking a full time caretaking position for children, pets and/or households. I am a well rounded individual that has had extensive experience in taking care of children in both academic and recreational settings, along with professional pet and house sitting through Trusted House Sitters (happy to provide reviews from previous sits). I have worked as a nanny before and have cared for families with up to five kids. I have a Masters Degree in Counseling Studies and completed a semester's worth of school counseling services to students from Kindergarten to fifth grade. I was also a Mutli Tier Systems of Support paraeducator for high school students. I currently work as a paralegal and would like to find a long term position that allows me to engage in my natural skill sets of providing a nurturing environment for kids, pets, and their families. I value play based learning, transparency and communication, and a balance of flexibility and routine. I am a responsive and engaged caregiver who seeks to enhance your pre-existing routines and flow rather than disrupting it. I understand that young kids especially benefit from following a predictable routine. I am a great cook and know how to prepare meals for different dietary needs and can perform housekeeping duties such as laundry, dish-washing, and general tidying. If I sound like a good fit, I would love to hear from you!

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.

Booked by 14 families in University Place, 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."
