Hi! I am a retired teacher, mother of two adult children and I have been a nanny for 18 months. I have also done after-school tutoring and pet sitting. I am familiar with all age groups - love children and animals. I live in the Kingston area of Kitsap county. I am responsible, kind and respectful. References upon request. Look forward to hearing from you! Jana

Positive, patient, and attentive. I’m great at connecting with kids and animals, keeping things fun while staying organized, safe, and reliable every step of the way.

I’ve been caring for children and families for most of my life, starting with babysitting at the age of 14. Over the years, that early experience grew into a long-term nanny position where I supported one family for six years, building strong relationships and becoming a trusted part of their daily lives. My approach is centered on creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where children can feel comfortable, have fun, and thrive. In addition to childcare, I spent four years as a personal assistant to a woman with advanced multiple sclerosis, which strengthened my patience, compassion, and ability to provide attentive, individualized care. I also have over 15 years of experience in pet sitting and animal care, and I’m very comfortable caring for both children and animals in a household setting. I’m dependable, warm, and highly attentive to the needs of those I care for, and I take pride in being someone families can trust and rely on.

Hello everyone! I have around 3 years of baby sitting experience with around 5 years of tutoring experience! I have worked with children of all ages and throughly enjoy working with kids. My parents are both teachers so from when I was a kid, I worked with kids younger than myself along side my parents. I consider myself to be patient, attentive, and kind which I believe helps me empathize with the kids. I enjoy bringing crafts and treats (with parent’s permission of course) for the kiddos to enjoy and stay entertained and engaged throughout the day! I also have on base access for military families and I am willing to negotiate prices for military families!

Hello families of UrbanSitter! My name is Banessa, I’m a current Premedical student and also the oldest sibling out of four, I’d say being the oldest has made me the experienced and responsible caregiver I am today. I have worked with families in dental care for over six years and enjoy being around kids. On my free time, I enjoy gardening, oil-painting, volunteering, and spending time with family.    
I'm skilled in creating fun, engaging, and educational activities! My passion has always been helping others, I’m excited to be a part of your little one's journey, and look forward to meeting your family very soon. Best, Banessa O
