Hello, my name is D’Asia I’m a 20-year-old full-time college student at Portland State University offering childcare services for families. While, I don’t have any formal training or certificates. I bring a wealth of experience as the oldest of four siblings having taken on a motherly role when needed. I’ve cared for children ages one through six and truly enjoy fostering their curiosity, creativity, and growth. I love being outdoors and engaging in activities like painting, reading, and taking walks, which I found calm little ones. I can assist with homework, help keep them active and ensure they stay engaged with fun, meaningful activities . Although I’m allergic to cats, I’m comfortable with dogs. I look forward to helping your family by providing reliable, compassionate and engaging care for your children.
I developed strong childcare skills from a young age. When I was eight, my aunt had her first child, and because I lived with her, I helped care for them. Over the following years, she had two more children, giving me valuable hands-on experience with children of different ages. My family quickly came to trust me as their go-to babysitter because of how naturally I connect with kids. Later on, I babysat my two younger siblings. I’m patient, gentle, caring, respectful, easygoing, and positive, and I adapt my caregiving style to each child’s unique needs while creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I can prepare basic meals, help with household chores, and learn new routines or recipes if needed. I value open communication and kindly ask families to share any important expectations or instructions so I can provide the best care possible.
Hello, I have over 13 years experience in caregiving both with the elderly and children. I had been a nanny for multiple families. I have 3 nieces ranging in ages from 10 to 21 and continue to be an integral part of their upbringing. The last family I nannied for I was with for over 5 years. We are still very much in contact & I see them at least once a month for family dinner. I pride myself on my communication skills & I am great with children of all ages. I am a proud pet owner of a 16 year old dog, we’ve been together for 12 years and she is still very healthy and very happy!
Hi! I’m Andrea, a mom to an energetic 4-year-old and a professional childcare provider with over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including children with special needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I currently work professionally with children every day. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable while parents have peace of mind. I enjoy reading stories, arts and crafts, outdoor play, educational activities, and helping children build confidence through positive encouragement. Through my work in ABA, I have experience supporting children with autism and other developmental needs using patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I’m happy to help with light housekeeping related to the children, preparing simple meals and snacks, homework help, bedtime routines, and keeping your family’s schedule running smoothly. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your children. As a mom myself, I treat every child with the same kindness, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family!
“I have strong experience caring for children, seniors, and pets. I am patient, trustworthy, and enjoy helping others. I am skilled in cooking healthy meals, cleaning, organizing, and driving. Families can count on me to create a safe, comfortable, and positive environment every day.”

"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."
