Alessya Tacoma
$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.

$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 8 families in Gig Harbor, 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+

Hi! I’m Logan, a caring and reliable nanny with 10+ years of experience working with kids of all ages. I love creating fun, hands-on activities that help children learn and grow while keeping them safe and happy. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, don’t smoke, and can help with meal prep, light cleaning, and pet care. Families describe me as nurturing, organized, and easygoing—I always aim to bring positivity and support into every home I work in!

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Gig Harbor, 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.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
