Jaclyn $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello 😊! My name is Jaclyn I am brand new to UrbanSitter! I am a 21 year old mom to my first child. I have lots of experience with handling baby’s and toddlers from many ages! I come from a big family of 13! So I enjoy everything from taking care of kids to taking care of pets/animals. In addition, I do have a nonnegotiable for having to bring my child with me. She is a very sweet three month old baby who mostly sleeps all day and would not interfere with me taking care of/ watching over your child. I used to be full time associate at In n Out Burger in Keizer! I am very used to and can handle chaotic environments. They do not bother me in the slightest! But since having my baby girl I am needing to drop down to part time and or hoping to quit soon, sticking to just babysitting/part time nanny. Qualifications: Child care experience CPR certified Food handlers permit With me I also will always do house cleaning that comes with NO extra charge! :) I believe it should be a basic requirement for when being a babysitter/nanny. I know how relaxing it can be to come to a clean home! Side note: please be specific with me if you would NOT like me to clean a place in the home or would prefer me to leave stuff alone! :)

Mckenna $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mckenna and I am a sophomore student athlete at Corban University. My schedule consists of mostly nights and Sundays due to practice and class. My services include baby sitting, house sitting, and cat/dog sitting! Originally from Montana, I love things like sports, games, fishing, and spending time outdoors. I am also a christian and love a sweet treat! I have been told that I am enthusiastic, organized, energetic, kind, and respectful. I love working with kids, keeping them entertained, and making sure they’re safe and cared for. I also can care for pets, preferably cats and dogs. I have two labs at home that I absolutely adore! My third service is house sitting! Since my schedule is mostly nights, I would also add that I am CPR certified and confident at handling unexpected situations. I aim to create a positive and comfortable environment!

Hello! My name is myleigh and I'm currently an education major at western Oregon university. I am the oldest sibling of 6 so I've been helping around the house and taking care of my siblings for as long as I can remember. I have one year of experience working for children with disabilities during my senior year of high school so I'm always open to taking care of children with extra needs. I'm a very creative person who loves singing, dancing, and crafts. So if your child enjoys a good craft time I would be a great fit!

Reegan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Reegan, and I’m a nurturing, creative, and experienced caregiver based in the Portland/Wilsonville area. I’ve worked with children and families in many capacities over 10+ years—as a certified birth and postpartum doula, through nonprofit outreach, and in both home and professional settings. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. I bring a calm, supportive presence and love creating meaningful, screen-free experiences for kids—whether it’s imaginative play, crafts, storytime, or outdoor fun. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, tidying up, dishes, laundry, and organizing, as well as pet care. I’m dependable, warm, and truly love supporting families in a hands-on, heart-centered way. I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family!
