Hi Parents! I'm Laura, a highly educated and experienced sitter who is excited about the possibility of babysitting your children! In addition to 20+ years of babysitting experience, I am a former teacher. Although I've mostly taught middle school English and history, I've worked with K-12 students in and outside of the classroom as a site coordinator and workshop facilitator. More recently, I've worked in healthcare for six years as a receptionist and scribe. I enjoy cooking, doing art projects, playing games, playing outside in nice weather, and reading with kids. I let the kid(s) take the lead in activities, within reason, of course. ;) Both my teaching experience and multidisciplinary education allow me to effectively help with homework. I have a Bachelor's degree in English and a minor in psychology plus 38 post-baccalaureate science credits, I’m starting grad school in August for audiology (AuD). I hope to work as an educational audiologist after graduation! I am BLS (Basic Life Support) certified as of 8/20/2026. I also completed a background check and drug screen as required by my graduate program, both of which are negative. I am most comfortable caring for kids 2 years of age and older. I love pets and pet sit so no need to worry about allergies. 🐈🐕 my pet sitting rates differ from my babysitting rates, so please don't hesitate to ask! I have a valid driver's license, a reliable vehicle, and a clean driving record. I can drive my own car or the parents’ cars if automatic I accept cash, check, credit/debit card via Urban Sitter, Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal. I am willing to stay later than the agreed upon time provided that 1) the parent/guardian communicates this need with me and 2) I do not have any prior commitments afterwards. If you are going to be home more than 15 minutes past the agreed upon arrival time, please let me know. On my end, I will call or text if I am running late to a job. I require full payment if you cancel the job with less than 24 hours notice, except for inclement weather, death of a loved one, or medical reasons. If I have to cancel for illness or another unavoidable reason with less than 24 hours notice, a 25% discount will be applied to the next booking. Please don’t hesitate to message me with questions. Thank you for considering me and I hope we can work together soon! Best, Laura

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 7 families in Forest Grove, OR

Hello my name is Meg. I have 15+ years of baby sitting, 5 years of teaching, and 10 years of pet experience. I have worked with children from the age of infancy to 14. I have a degree in ECE and some SPEDU credits, but have decided to go back to college to change my major and become a child psychologist. I loved working with my students in a classroom setting, but feel that my skills are more necessary to help children develop individually. At this moment my availability is very flexible so take advantage of it while you can!

Meg was great with our 5 month old. She has a fun personality and was very professional.
