Booked by 17 families in La Center, WA

Hi- My names Mai. I came back from teaching in Tokyo 4 years ago now. I've been working with kids from around 14 which is when I started babysitting and teaching abacus. I've been teaching abacus both in person and online for the past 10+ years but it's fun to watch kids outside an educational environment. I'm fluent in Japanese and English and am always down for outdoor adventures like swimming, biking, berry picking, or just going to the park. But I can always enjoy a good book or movie. I work 8-5 as a PM during the weekday but I’m free outside of those hours if you have a concert or date night. Hopefully, I'm able to offer some assistance to you outside of these hours. you for your understanding and reading this far!

Mai was amazing with our daughter! She showed up on time, communicated well throughout, and had a very calming presence. Our daughter really enjoyed the time with her and my wife and I felt at ease while we were out. Would definitely recommend!

Unavailable from 7/14-8/29 Hello! After graduating with my Bachelor’s Degree in Biology and a minor in psychology, I was offered the opportunity to substitute teach for the school district. For six years I was lucky enough to be a substitute teacher for ages K-12. My passion for child development and psychology makes me eager to provide children with an environment conducive to being a healthy and happy child, while catering to each child's uniqueness and supporting their greatest endeavors. Because of my wide range of substituting, I have experience with behavioral differences, children of all levels of skillset, mindset, backgrounds, and ages. Much of my time was spent at the Montessori school working with gifted students and the other bit of my time was at the behavioral academy for children who benefitted from a bit more TLC, in between these extremes I was regularly subbing in traditional classrooms. Due to the pandemic, and the closure of schools, I began working in research and development at a lab in Washington and I have since dabbled in healthcare as a CNA, doing so was rewarding and helped solidify my passion for caring for others and taught me a great deal about caring for seniors as well. My current career goals are centered to be in healthcare within the next year. In my free time you can find me in the sunshine, chasing my crazy beagle, paddle boarding, and experimenting in the kitchen.

Booked by 47 families in La Center, WA

Hey there! My name's Charlee and I've been a caregiver for over 5 years. I am great with all ages but i specialize in infants and toddlers. I also work with a childcare agency and abide by their guidelines and rules in my freelance work. For example, I do not allow television unless specified by the parent. The children and myself will spend time doing activities. I am an artist so I like do do activities that use our imagination and creativity. I am also a tutor so please specify if you would like me to help with certain homework or specific activities like reading or speech. I do light cleaning, cooking and laundry if needed. Please note that if you have your rate posted as “based on experience” and it is lower than my base rate of $17 when I get accepted for the job I will be canceling the job and not accepting a rebooking. This happens way too often and is unfair to sitters. Thank you for your understanding.

Hello, I am a simple country boy growing up on a dairy farm in Pennsylvania. I am the youngest of seven children and all my siblings are married and live on farms. On many occasions, I sat for my 40-45nieces and nephews and took care of the farm work as well. I love children and animals.

"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."

"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)."
