Sherise Port Orchard
$17 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a responsible college student that is looking for a part time job with some cool kids, pups, and cats :). I’ve worked at my mom’s daycare for two years with kids ages 2-7 at the same time, and loved it! I love kids and had even taught my little brother how to read his first book by reading him his favorite story every night until he read along! I was a also a trained life guard with CPR training and was very active in my high school swim team (taught my little brother how to swim too!). I love reading kids their books they bring and watching their favorite shows and movies. Snack and play time are one of my favorite parts of the day, fueling them then getting all their energy out with exercise and fun games. I have experience working in an assisted living home as a dietary aide (and an occasional dog walker to my favorite resident)…preparing and serving food as well as having a food handlers permit. I have plenty experience with cats and dogs (I own two of both!) and am eager to learn your routine with your fur friends!

Clare Vashon
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hello there! My name is Clare - I’m a female identifying 26 year old currently living on Vashon Island. After recently returning from working at the local clinic on San Juan Island this winter, and teaching English to elementary students in Spain last fall, I’m looking forward to spending this spring in my hometown before beginning a Doctorate of Nurse Practitioner program at Seattle U in June. With a professional history of 3 years at Seattle Children’s Hospital working as a nursing assistant, supporting a Montessori preschool in north Seattle after graduating from UW in 2022, and extensive childcare experience throughout high school, I’m excited to be able to support another wonderful family. I am CPR certified for infants, children and adults, have experience working on a small organic farm with goats and chickens, and am fully licensed to drive with a personal vehicle as well as a current Washington State CNA license for more extensive care needs. I’m so happy to provide more information about myself and my background as desired, and I so look forward to sharing and connecting!

Booked by 85 families in Wauna, WA

Hello families! I have been a babysitter for over 15 years and have been on Urbansitter for 10. I am currently working as a 3rd grade teacher for Highline Public Schools and am looking for occasional sitting only. Thank you for checking out my profile and I look forward to hearing from you!

I hired Tiffany to care for my two toddlers. She has a very calming energy, and right away my 2 year old- who has separation anxiety sometimes - was very comfortable with her and wasn't upset about me leaving. I was only gone a couple hours but it went very well during that time and was a huge help to me, as this was my first time ever hiring a babysitter for my kids so I was a little nervous. Tiffany was also very professional in addition to my kids liking her. I would definitely reach out to her again for childcare.

Welcome to my profile, I’m Kensy, a bilingual (English & Spanish) caregiver with years of hands-on experience supporting children from infancy through school age. I’ve worked as a nanny, daycare assistant, and currently serve as a paraeducator in a dual language elementary school. I’m confident caring for infants, including feeding, changing, naps, and soothing routines, and I truly enjoy helping little ones feel secure and loved. My approach is rooted in patience, creativity, and respect for each child’s individuality. I have experience incorporating Montessori-inspired methods that encourage independence, exploration, and meaningful play. Whether we’re doing arts and crafts, reading, or singing songs, I strive to make each day engaging and enriching. I’m also happy to support families with light household help and simple meal prep. If you’re looking for a dependable, nurturing, and experienced caregiver, I’d love to be a part of your child’s journey!
