Grace $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Grace, I grew up on an island in the Puget Sound. I’ve spent the past 5 years working in tech and now am looking into a new career path. I have a 5 year old niece who I have watched regularly throughout her infant life, and have a history of babysitting and nannying throughout high school and college. I’m great with kids, dogs, and cats! I love to spend time at home and play games, watch movies, or spend time in the many local parks or on long walks. Looking forward to meeting you and your family!

Rae $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m new to UrbanSitter, but I’ve worked with children for years through babysitting, camp counseling, and volunteering at the Boys & Girls Club. I'll be starting my Master’s in Teaching at USF in the fall, which I’m incredibly excited about. I graduated with my bachelor's from USF with highest honors last May. I’m open to both recurring and occasional positions, including summer help, after-school care, date nights, weekends, school pickups, homework help, and general extra support for busy families. My schedule is very flexible and I’m happy to adapt to what your family needs most. I’m naturally a very warm and gentle person, and I care about creating an environment that feels calm and comfortable for children. I love outside time, crafts, reading, baking, and finding ways to make things feel fun and engaging (without relying too heavily on screens). I want the children I’m caring for to feel safe and happy to spend time with me!

Ashley $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ashley. I’m a caring and reliable sitter with lots of hands-on experience, both as a mom and working with children of different ages. Being a parent myself, I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your kids. I follow a gentle parenting approach and focus on creating a safe, calm, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, respected, and free to be themselves. I love engaging with kids through play, learning activities, and everyday routines. I’m very hands-on and intuitive, so I’m happy to jump right in and help without needing a lot of direction. Whether it’s caring for your little one, helping with child-related chores, or just making your day a little easier, I’ve got you covered. I also have strong references available and would love the chance to support your family!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
