Booked by 8 families in Cougar, WA

My name is Karly and I am currently 36 years old. I value integrity, vulnerability, compassion, growth, creativity and autonomy. Currently I am a social worker that specializes in behavioral but will be leaving my role on the county crisis team. I recently went back to school and am in a nursing program now. I plan to nanny for the next 18 months-2 years until I have my BSN and RN license. I have a wide range of experience nannying: Occasional sitting, after-school sitting, regular full-time nanny, and live-in nanny for triplet infants until they were 4 years old. I have numerous years of mixed experiences and families. I would love to share more about the families I have worked with. I am CPR/First Aid trained as well as educated on several therapeutic approaches when caring for children especially if they are escalated. I have worked in childcare centers as well as Children's hospital because I love to volunteer. Keeping active and structured to create positive behavior, I strive for that. I cook, clean and love animals.

Mercy Portland
$17 per hour for 1 child

I’m looking for a nanny position where I can build a consistent, long-term relationship with a family and become a supportive, dependable presence in the home. I bring several years of both informal and professional, hands-on childcare experience, rooted in a lifelong foundation of caregiving. Raised in a family of female educators, I grew up surrounded by teaching, mentorship, and patience, and these values continue to shape how I care for children today. My background includes work as a private babysitter, part-time nanny, elementary after-school aide, church nursery assistant, and camp counselor. I also come from a large, close-knit family with 11 nieces and nephews, where I’ve played an active role in caregiving, including managing daily routines, preparing meals around dietary restrictions, supporting nap schedules, and guiding play across developmental stages. My experience has shaped me into a calm, responsible, and dependable presence. I’m best suited for families with up to three children, comfortable with pets, and currently focused on roles with toddlers and school-aged children rather than infant care. I value consistency, trust, and open communication, and aim to create a home environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow.

Yelena Happy Valley
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Yelena I grew up in a multicultural family where I learned the importance of responsibility, kindness, and helping others. From a young age, my mother taught me how to keep things clean and organized, and I also learned to cook and enjoy preparing meals for others. I’m a great listener, always willing to support the people around me, and I bring a positive attitude to everything I do. As a mom, I have a 17-year-old who is graduating this year, a 5-year-old son with autism who has taught me patience and understanding, and a very energetic 3-year-old. Through raising my children, I’ve gained hands-on experience with different ages, personalities, and needs, and I truly enjoy caring for others—whether it’s children, seniors, or helping with everyday tasks

"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
