Ash $19 per hour for 1 child

I am 39 years old, a recent graduate from PSU, with a minor in child, youth and family studies. I have been working at a therapeutic school for the last year with students aged 9-14. I have prior experience working with pre-school aged children and their families. I enjoy working with Autistic children. I will be starting grad school in the fall for school counseling. I have been a devoted cat dad for 16 years. I have been utilized for pet sitting and house sitting with rave reviews. I previously had my own catering busines, am an avid gardener, and have a background in art. I do love cooking and working with kids in the kitchen. I have experience as a private chef, including live-in services for a vegan family with young children. I love reading with kids, playing board games, encouraging music and exploration of the imagination.

Amarti $40 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am originally from Ethiopia. I have lived in the U.S. for 18 years now. I love learning and spending time with my loved ones. Amidst the pandemic, in 2020, I graduated from University of Portland with my Bachelor's degree in Biology minoring in Chemistry and Neuroscience. Ultimately, I would like to pursue a career in healthcare. Therefore, I have been working as a CNA since graduating. I enjoy being around people caring for the vulnerable, it is a true passion of mine. I love kids and have had previous experience working with children and their parents (i.e. at a preschool/childcare during high school). I believe that my background and skillset will allow me to genuinely care for you and your family.

Ajah $20 per hour for 1 child

I have worked in the education system for about four years, from special education to health assistant and teaching curriculum in general classrooms. The relationships I made with them led me to working with other people in a more personal setting to meet their needs:)

Marie $30 per hour for 1 child

With years of experience caring for homes, pets, and children, I bring reliability, warmth, and professionalism to every family I work with. I began house sitting and babysitting while in high school and have continued to offer these services occasionally as a working professional. I truly enjoy being around children and animals, and I take pride in creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment. Whether it’s keeping a home organized, ensuring pets are happy and well-cared for, or engaging children in meaningful activities, I approach every responsibility with genuine care and attention to detail.

$19 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Portland, OR

Hi, I'm Madison and I'm a fun, reliable, and caring person who's passionate about helping kids learn, grow, and feel supported. I've spent the last six years working with children in all kinds of settings - as a babysitter and a Live-In Nanny. Those experiences have taught me how to balance structure with fun, keep routines running smoothly, and handle any situation with patience and understanding. I'm also a U. S. Army veteran, so being on time, dependable, and organized is second nature to me. I love creating activities that are both educational and exciting for kiddos whether it's crafts, outdoor adventures, or helping with homework. If you're looking for someone who's responsible, upbeat, and great at connecting with kids, I'd love to help your family out!

"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)."
