Tess $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Tess! I’ve been caring for kids for over 10 years, from energetic toddlers to busy teens. I also spent 3 years as a camp counselor and wilderness guide, where I led groups of girls into the Boundary Waters and taught outdoor skills, independence, and teamwork. Those experiences gave me a deep love for supporting kids as they learn, grow, and build confidence. Alongside childcare, I work as a household manager — keeping schedules organized, prepping meals, running errands, and making sure the home runs smoothly day to day. Families I’ve worked with appreciate that I’m reliable, creative, and calm under pressure, whether it’s helping with homework, keeping routines on track, or planning fun activities. I’m also preparing to attend grad school in child psychology, with the goal of specializing in adolescent development. Caring for children isn’t just a job for me — it’s part of the path I’ve chosen for my career and future.

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."

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)."
