Hi I’m O’Nesha and I currently serve and bartend part time. I have previously baby sat two little boys ages 5 and 7 in the early mornings getting them ready for school. I also work closely with my mother as a community engagement specialist working with clients with disabilities. I have a ton of flexibility and am willing to work early mornings or even occasional date nights! I am also open to chores and light cleaning or cooking.
Warm, patient, and reliable. I love supporting seniors and pets and am excited to build experience with kids through care, play, and meaningful engagement.
Hi, my name is Sara. I’m a mom to 2 great kids ages 11 and 9. I am offering childcare, senior care, pet sitting/care, and household services. I have a lot of kid experience, from raising my own, to volunteering at the elementary school, to watching my friend’s kids. I also used to work at an elementary school and with kids in a living history experience. I have been caring for pets through another app for 11 years and have worked as a veterinary technician. I am confident with all animals. I have cooked professionally since 2002 and can accommodate various dietary restrictions. I love kids and animals. With my own kids I try to keep them busy outside or with crafts, and off of screens as much as possible.
** I am flexible with rates!! I know how hard it is to find someone within your budget!! ** I have experience caring for children of all ages, including assisting in a 1st grade classroom and watching siblings, cousins, and toddlers from ages 1 to 5. I’m patient, nurturing, and dependable, with a strong passion for helping others. I’ve provided safe, engaging care in both home and school settings and am comfortable with household tasks and routines.
My proudest accomplishment is raising my two sons into caring young adults. Second proudest is earning my degree in elementary education at 40 years old. I have always had a love for working with children and helping them grow and learn. I currently work as a substitute teacher for Tacoma Public Schools, so my schedule is flexible. When my younger son was a toddler, he joined me at my job as a daycare assistant, where I assisted caring for a small group of toddlers, as well as provided one on one care for a sweet baby from when he was three months old until he turned one. I have stayed in touch with their family and have enjoyed seeing the young man he has become. I also spend a lot of time with my 5 year old twin nieces, and we love dancing, reading, and going on nature walks. I have experience in creating engaging and educational activities for children of all ages. I am currently learning ASL through weekly online classes. I believe in open communication with both parents and children. I am always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that each child in my care feels loved, safe, supported, and valued. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my skills and experience to a new family as their nanny, and look forward to building a strong and positive relationship with both the children and their parents. As a mother myself, I understand that trusting another person with your child is not something to be taken lightly. If I am fortunate enough to be trusted to care for your most precious little humans, I will treat that trust as a true gift and strive to make each day with your children an enlightening and fun one!

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
