Hi! My name is Allison, I recently graduated from highschool, I’m 18 years old. I’m offering childcare and household services. I love kids and I’ve been babysitting off and on the last 3 years. I’ve babysat kids ranging from 1-12 years old. My responsibilities were to cook, clean, drive the kids to and from places and do activities with them. I currently work at a winery on the weekends and when I’m not working there I’m racing dirt bikes all over! I also enjoy doing lots of outdoor activities.
Hi! My name is Daragh, and I am a junior at Oregon State University studying mechanical engineering. I am currently available for childcare and household support services. I am originally from Portland, Oregon, and have been babysitting since I was 15 years old. I have experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and elementary-aged children. In addition to childcare, I have worked as a math tutor for students ranging from kindergarten through high school, which has strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to support children academically. I am truly passionate about working with children, having grown up with many younger siblings and cousins. I strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children feel supported and cared for. Beyond childcare, I am happy to help with cooking, cleaning, errands, and general household organization. I am comfortable around pets, love animals, and have no allergies. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family!
Hi, my name is Ella and I am going into my junior year at Oregon State. I love children and am looking for part time babysitting starting in November. The past year I mainly babysit for a family with a 4 year old boy and girl who just turned 1. I babysit once or twice a week, often 5-10 hour shifts. Other than that I occasionally babysit a family with a 4 year old and 2 year old as well as a family with 22 month old twins and a 5 year old. My tasks normally involve dropping off and picking up from school, crafts, games inside and outside, changing diapers, giving baths and more. I also have experience dog sitting!
Hi there! My name is Grace, and I'm a first-year college student who loves helping kids learn and grow while having fun! I’m available on Mondays and Wednesdays after 2:30pm and Tuesdays and Thursdays after 1:30pm, but I’m flexible depending on what a family needs. From babysitting to housework, I am here to offer positive and reliable support wherever I go! While I am somewhat new to professional child care, I have extensive babysitting experience with younger family members and children of family friends, and have taken care of + instructed K-12 students. I love playing with kids, finding crafts to do, and making mini besties with every child in my care! I can also help with any after-school work or house chores that may be needed! I have worked as a teacher's aide in elementary classes, served as a camp counselor for Oregon’s outdoor school program for 2 years, and volunteered with the survival swim program in Salem. I am CPR and First Aid Certified, as well as DSP certified, and have experience providing academic and behavior support to kids with a wide range of mental disabilities. If families are looking for someone to care for kids with special needs, I am prepared! I am comfortable with all kinds of personalities and ready to create a supportive and positive environment for your little ones as they learn and explore, while also taking some tasks off your to-do list!
“My younger son is ADHD and autistic. I needed someone to engage with him, take him to the park, and give him the one-on-one time he thrives on. Grace was great! He took to her right away and looked forward to when she’d be back. I love hearing my son happy and engaged or energized from spending time in the park, and she knew just how to connect with him. I couldn’t recommend her enough, especially those with higher-needs kiddos! Much thanks and appreciation to you, Grace!”

"UrbanSitter has supported my needs for reliable and joyful sitters. Whether it be for work, recreation or last-minute emergencies, we've made wonderful relationships with local sitters who have become a part of our family!"

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
