With over four years of experience in both childcare and housekeeping, I have developed a strong foundation in nurturing and maintaining a safe and supportive environment.

I have a house in the Richmond area and I like to pet sit for dogs. I have a dog myself and she loves other dogs. I’m open to overnight stays or just long afternoons.

Kirsten $22 per hour for 1 child

I love kids! I worked for 20 years as an occupational therapist, about 10 years working with kids birth through age 5 who had developmental delays and/or sensory issues, fine and gross motor delays. We worked as a team and OT/PT/speech, and early childhood teachers/specialists coached each other in the basics. For about eight years, I also worked with kids ages 6 to 16 years of age. I trained in child/human development & did child care for about 10 years (a few months to 13 years). I enjoy creating a safe, fun, nurturing environment and engaging children through language, reading, walks, age-appropriate play, physical & tabletop play, art, helping with cooking/baking. I am very responsible and dependable, flexible, easy-going, loving, attentive and fun! For the last year, I’ve been working as a caregiver for two adults and loving it; I’d love transitioning to caring for children. Generally, I am available during the day, M-F and evenings & Saturdays by appointment. Pet care is negotiable/reasonable. References are available upon request. I hope to hear from you soon! Kirsten

Hello! My name is Guwo and I am from Portland, Oregon. I was born and raised here and moved to Eugene for undergrad where I lived there for four years. I received my bachelor's degree in Sociology and decided to move back to Portland to study for my LSATs for law school. I love being with kids. I think they teach you a lot even when you do not realize it. I am a very patient person who is quick to make the best decisions for what I think is the right choice. I am very organizational and know these qualities are important with jobs like this. Since I was 16 years old I've worked and volunteered with kids. I worked at my local church with kids from the ages of infants to 11 years old. I have also babysat families of kids from between ages 4 to 12 years of age. During my time in school, my main focus was my education, but when I had time I worked at the local church in Eugene and participated in the children's ministry.

“She was super nice and sweet with my kiddos. They instantly took a liking to them. It’s difficult to find people who are naturally good with kids and she had that magic touch. Definitely hiring her in the future. ”

"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)."
