Hello everyone! My name is Julia and I’m recent graduate from Oregon State University. I’m offering childcare services, household services, and pet care services. I have childcare experience with multiple-child families, ages 2-12. I’m able to run errands, grocery shop, clean, make meals and snacks, and laundry if requested. For pet care, I have experience with both cats and dogs. I have a cat of my own so I’m well-versed in playing, changing litter, and on-time feeding. I love playing with the animals as well, and will give them great company! I don’t have allergies to any pets. A little more about me: I love to cook new recipes, read fiction books, be out in nature, bird watch, and do arts and crafts. One of my favorite crafts I did as a kid was making fairy houses! You can take bark, leaves, sticks and twigs, moss, and anything else you can find outside (+ hot glue) and make something magical. Pro tip: Dust the top of it with fairy dust (glitter) when the kids go to bed so they wake up to a little fairy surprise!
I have worked as a nanny, babysitter and caregiver most of my life. I have taught swim lessons to all ages both privately and for Portland public parks. I Nannied for a year for 2 wonderful children, a one year old and a three year old and for years after babysat for date nights and other occasions that the parents needed. I also speak Spanish and have tutored children and adults. I have worked with children with special needs and children and adults with mental health diagnosis. I have also worked closely with DHS as a Spanish interpreter helping families with parenting plans and special education plans in the schools. I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old. I have been certified in CPR and AED. I am a wonderful cook and have a great knowledge of child nutrition. I have also been invited as a care giver on numerous vacations with two different families. I am kind and respectful of family cultures and values. I am trust worthy and have been in law enforcement most of my adult career. I have been fingerprinted and am in the national background database. I have no criminal history. I have cared for both my mother, father and elderly great aunt. I also love animals and do not have any allergies. I have 2 beautiful Persian kitties who basically own me! I have been entrusted by parents to leave their children in my home to care for as I have a very safe and child friendly home. I have a Bachelors degree from PSU and love to help the littles or teens with their homework. Overall, I love and enjoy all humans and always have a smile on my face and a positive disposition.

“Savannah was absolutely amazing with our son. She was on time, reliable, and personable. She kept us updated on how he was doing and did his bedtime routine perfectly. She is now our go to date night babysitter, highly recommend. ”
Hi! I'm Simone, and I'm excited to get back to working directly with families after a few years doing operations work in creative settings and at a nonprofit teaching STEM to kids in Portland. (Turns out I missed the hands on part!) I've got over a decade of experience with kids of all ages: nannying long term and watching kids grow from pre K through second grade, four years at the Children's Creativity Museum in San Francisco, volunteering with children's library programming doing summer reading and fairs, substitute teaching at an outdoor preschool, and before that, helping out in a daycare. I love getting to know kids as individuals and figuring out what makes each person tick. I've worked with neurodivergent kids regularly and genuinely enjoy finding the best way to connect. I've also done a lot of date night sitting, so I'm totally comfortable stepping in with kids I don't know as well yet and making sure they have a great night while you get out and actually have fun. From school pickups, to swim lessons or Bob Ross painting parties, I've done it all, and I'm excited to find exactly what makes each kid light up and have the most fun. I studied Art History at Academy of Art, and I bring that into how I work with kids: thinking about creativity, play, and discovery as the best approach! I love talking about music, being outside, making things, or just improvising something fun on the spot. I really enjoy working hands on with all children and would love to be your sitter! I look forward to hearing from you, and wish you the best of luck in finding someone who is the right fit for your home.
“Simone was great with my 7 month old and was able to learn his needs quickly!”

"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."
