Grace 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Port Townsend, WA

I grew up in a big family, and from a young age I was able to gain experience in child care. It would later be something that I really enjoy and continue to want to do. I’ve generally worked with toddlers and younger kids but I love kids of all ages. I love taking them outside to play in the sun or creating art indoors. In my free time I like to read, workout, and spend time with family and friends. I mostly have availability during the weekends and some occasional week nights

My 2.5 yo had a great time with Grace! I would definitely love to have her back!

Booked by 15 families in Port Townsend, WA

Hello families of UrbanSitter! My name is Banessa, I’m a current Premedical student and also the oldest sibling out of four, I’d say being the oldest has made me the experienced and responsible caregiver I am today. I have worked with families in dental care for over six years and enjoy being around kids. On my free time, I enjoy gardening, oil-painting, volunteering, and spending time with family.    
I'm skilled in creating fun, engaging, and educational activities! My passion has always been helping others, I’m excited to be a part of your little one's journey, and look forward to meeting your family very soon. Best, Banessa O

Hi there- my name is Olivia and I’m currently active duty Navy stationed right here in Bremerton I am offering child care for all ages and household services. I love my day job but find myself missing what I had before the navy which was taking care of children. I am no stranger to all ages and I’m very flexible to fit the needs of you as busy families. I am the oldest of 20 children within my immediate family and have been taking care of children as long as I can remember. I am CPR certified, and am very reliable in emergency situations. I also work as a tutor for elementary students weekly. I look forward to meeting you!

Olivia is probably one of the best babysitters you could ever hire! My son loved spending time with her and was so sad when she had to go. We loved Olivia because of her willingness to understand our family values when taking the job so that she could tailor to our family's needs. She took such great care of our son, and gave us so many laughs about the times they shared before she left. We can't wait to hire her again! She honestly is the best!! ❤❤❤❤

Ava $20 per hour for 1 child

I have always babysat and loved it. I mostly did family friends and neighbors but had work with people that I just met, too. I am too soft for my own good. It is good for the kids though. I have done services ranging from babysitting to cleaning houses. I always do my best to ensure a good experience to the one I’m caring for. I do love babies specifically and hope to get more experience with newborns.
