Emma Port Orchard
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emma, and I am currently a sophomore at Olympic College. I grew up as the second-oldest of 10 children, and taking care of kids has always been something I have loved and wanted to do. I started babysitting at 11 years old because many families found me responsible and able to handle household and childcare tasks efficiently. Now I am 18, and even though I have only had seven years of "official" childcare experience, I have been helping care for kids since around the age of five and have always wanted to help my mom in any way that I could. I have taken a childcare and a first aid/CPR class in the past. I believe that my experience of growing up with so many children has made me responsible, intuitive, empathetic, and attuned to the needs and emotions of a child. My responsibilities have included morning and evening routines, diaper changes, cooking, cleaning, driving to/from places, and putting children to bed. I have also been working for three years now cleaning homes in my area, mostly for the elderly who are unable to do it on their own. I also frequently pet-sit and house-sit, and have worked as a household assistant with projects, cleaning, running errands, etc.

Port Orchard
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Allyn, WA

I have a bachelor's degree in Child Development and Family Relations and have been employed as a caregiver for many families over many years. I have cared various ages ranging from newborn to teen and have experience working with developmentally disabled children with autism, down's syndrome and an infant who was born at 23 weeks with both hearing and vision loss. As a Doula I've provided services to several expectant mothers and their families offering prenatal, birth, and postpartum assistance. I believe children thrive in an environment where each unique family's priorities and wishes are paramount maintaining a sense of consistency, stability, and security. In addition to caring for your children's daily needs including cooking, laundry, and housekeeping, I enjoy interacting in guided play and age appropriate activities to support learning and development for all ages. Playing blocks to learn counting, colors and shapes with a toddler is just as fun as helping a teenager prepare for their first public speaking assignment for English class. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns regarding your specific family needs. I look forward to the privilege of caring for you, your children, and your home.

Kendra is very communicative and was a great help in my spring cleaning efforts!

$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 8 families in Allyn, WA

Hi! I am a college softball player at University of Puget Sound, and I am from Spokane, Wa! For the past 8 years, I have been nannying for the same family at home in Spokane, during the school years and summers. They have three boys, who when I started were aged 1, 3, and 5, and they are now 8, 10, and 12! I have picked up and dropped off kids at school, done bedtime routines, cooked all meals throughout the day, helped kids with homework, and supervised/driven kids to many after school activities! I also have experience working with a child diagnosed with ADHD and autism. I have helped the family with his outburst, and give him his medications throughout the day! I love having fun with the kids, but am firm with rules and expectations. I consider myself to be a patient person, especially after working with a child with special needs.

Olivia did so well with my 11 month old! She was energetic, fun and responsible. Will definitely be rehiring! A+

Booked by 1 family in Allyn, WA

Hi ! My name Christina, currently offering childcare. Love to take care of and teach kids. I have worked with youth all ages in the Pierce County and King County in education for 10+ years. Makes me happy to also take care of my nieces, nephews, and Godkids 🫶🏼 Additional Services: Light cooking and cleaning 🍽 🧹 Basic American Sign Language and Spanish

Christina has worked with our family since my son was just a baby; he’s almost 7 years old (I also have a 5 year old now). We first became acquainted because she was my colleague in higher education and I learned she also was a nanny/babysitter. During this time, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Christina better and seeing her nurture my children in such a positive way. I believe that she is well qualified and experienced to accept the challenge of any childcare position. When Christina first started, she watched my infant son so that my husband and I could go out on dates. 20 months later, our daughter was born and Christina soon began watching our two children. This meant her responsibilities increased to watching the two children alone, making meals for them, and taking them on short outings to the park, the swimming pool, the mall, etc. Christina is upbeat and positive but also able to set boundaries with the children. Whenever she cares for them they are very excited to see her. I have the utmost confidence in her judgment and maturity and have always felt comfortable leaving my children in her care. I recommend Christina without reservation.

$24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! - I’m Alessya and a current student athlete at Iona University studying Biology. I’m offering childcare, pet care, and household help. I’m dependable, energetic, and love creating a fun, safe environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I’ve been a gymnastics coach for about 5 years coaching children of different ages and taking care of them throughout the day. Whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, reading, helping with homework, or simply having fun, I enjoy keeping kids engaged while making safety my top priority. I also used to be a tutor at Tacoma Community College, so I’m happy to help with homework, studying, and building confidence in academic subjects whenever needed.

"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)."
