Erin $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello there, my name is Erin, and I am offering child-care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I am an experienced caregiver and former stay-at-home mom who raised two daughters from infancy through adulthood (both are now in college). My years of hands-on parenting shaped my patience, emotional awareness, and understanding of children’s needs throughout all of the developmental stages. I also have extensive experience in household management duties, and am a good cook. I am happy to do the weekly shopping, errands, and light cleaning around the schedule of those I am caring for. Additionally, I also have extensive experience in elderly care; I am a trained death doula and volunteer my time in hospice care - work that has deepened my presence, compassion, and ability to hold space with steadiness and care. I approach caregiving with maturity, respect, and a genuine commitment to creating a safe, nurturing environment for children and families. This volunteer work has become very meaningful to me after years of working with senior volunteers through a previous job managing a non-profit. As for pets, I am the lucky owner of a little dog named Moxie, and have cared for many animals over my 44 years. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience with chickens, ducks, pigs, birds, rabbits, and goats. Currently, and for the past seventeen years, I have spent much of my free time working as a paper artist, and I value creativity, curiosity, and thoughtful engagement. I love to incorporate creative activities and play into the time I get to spend with the children in my care. I look forward to learning about your family and needs to see if we are all a good fit for one another :)

Stephanie $23 per hour for 1 child

Starting at the age of 12, I have taken care of all my cousins when they were infants. I have since worked as a caretaker professionally and in my off-time. I have also held a previous position as a camp counselor for a grade school summer camp when I was 15 yrs old. I have exuberant energy and a passion for care. I am comfortable with both comforting and gently disciplining those I care for as needed, as well for kids that are on the spectrum and take pride in making the days of those I work with a little bit better each time. I am comfortable working with a range of ages from youth to seniors, and love pets as well.

Julia $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm Julia. I have a wide variety of experience working with kids of all ages, ranging from infants to adolescents. I spent three years as a skills trainer in psychiatric residential and secure inpatient services supporting kids with severe behavioral and emotional symptoms. My roles included teaching coping skills, co-regulation techniques, medication administration, facilitating therapeutic groups and activities, and more. I've worked in early childhood education, emphasizing play-based learning, with kids aged 2-5. I've also supported families with babysitting young children and infants. A little about me- Born and raised in the SF Bay Area, I moved to Oregon for undergrad and have called it home ever since. I value time spent in the outdoors and exploring the many treasurable woodsy spaces surrounding the Portland area. I love to cook nutritious meals and nourish myself with lots of tea. I have a passion for working with the fluid and curious minds of kids and intend to continue my career with this population. I'm currently in a graduate program working towards my Master's in Social work at PSU. I'm in school full time starting the end of September with Thursdays-Sundays available. I have open availability for the month of September.

"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."

"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)."
