Hello! My name is Sarah and I would love to work with your family! I am currently living in Salem and work in Portland where I manage a dance studio and work with children of all ages. I love to dance, be outdoors, cook, and listen to music. I am the second oldest of five siblings and I have always loved to be around kids. I have ample babysitting and petsitting experience from helping with my siblings growing up, family friends, and families I have worked with through Urban Sitters. I am comfortable with all ages, driving, petsitting, house sitting, and doing household chores.

Being brought up in a large family, I have always felt a deep relevance to the world of childhood. Being around and working with many ages I discovered a deep connection to and strong interest in the earliest stages of human life. I find it a profound privilege to provide the gentle, attentive presence that babies need to feel safe and secure as they begin to explore their world. In my most recent role as a 1:4 infant caregiver, I had the honor of caring for a group of four babies starting when they were just seven weeks old. Being a consistent part of their first year allowed me to bond deeply with each child and support their unique developmental leaps with patience and compassion. I believe that every child deserves to be seen, heard, and nurtured with individualized care that respects their pace, personality, and at home lifestyle. I am now transitioning primarily to in-home care to offer families a more personal, dedicated experience. Whether you are looking for a long-term addition to your family's routine or simply need a reliable hand for one-time sitting, my goal is always the same: to provide a nurturing environment where your child feels completely loved and supported. I am excited to continue contributing to the beautiful early stages of life in the comfort of the child’s home, where they can grow, feel secure, and thrive.

I’m currently a student at LBCC and working part-time in cleaning services, and I’m now offering occasional babysitting as well! I have worked for 3 years at a preschool and have been babysitting since I was 12 years old! I have exprience working with kids on the spectrum, behaviors, and sensory! I also have my CPR and first aid license! I’m patient, attentive, and skilled at creating calm, engaging environments tailored to each child. In addition to childcare, I have experience caring for cats, dogs, goats, and chickens, which has taught me responsibility, adaptability, and a gentle touch with all animals I have a heart for caring for kids and would love to help out families who need a dependable, gentle, and responsible sitter. I’m not afraid to look silly while playing with your kids I’m an energetic and outgoing person especially when it comes to your child!

Rahima Monahan has been an incredible support to my family over the past three years, helping care for my two children with consistency, compassion, and professionalism. Not only has she assisted us personally, but she’s also worked at the preschool my children attended—giving her a strong foundation in early childhood care and education. Rahima is great with kids—warm, attentive, and patient. She is reliable, dependable, and incredibly flexible, always showing up with a positive attitude and ready to help however she can. What I appreciate most is that she always respects and follows the rules and routines we’ve set for our children. Her attention to detail, strong communication skills, and genuine love for children make her a standout caregiver. I trust her completely and highly recommend Rahima to any family looking for someone they can count on. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am patient, kind, and have a passion for learning and caring for others. I grew up as the oldest sister to three little siblings along with many pets. Although I do not have professional experience in childcare and pet care, I grew up babysitting and caring for not only my sibling and pets, but also for many other families children and animals. I am no stranger to diaper changes, nap time, preparing food for a variety of ages, crafts and play time, along with all the other aspects of caring for kids. I am good at multitasking and staying calm and de-escalating stressful and overwhelming situations, which has been very beneficial for me when it comes to caring for children. I also enjoy cleaning, and have a wide variety of housekeeping skills, so you don’t have to worry about any messes laying around when you get home after a long day of work! I enjoy working with and caring for children and pets of all ages, I would be so happy to play a part in making you and your family’s life just a little bit easier :)

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."

Eric D., dad of two
