Emma $25 per hour for 1 child

Caring for others has always been a constant in my life. I grew up babysitting and became involved in mentor programs starting at age 14, which set the foundation for my love of working with children, families, and people of all ages. I have extensive experience with older children and teens through my role as a mentor with Rainier Athletes, where I support high school students with goal-setting, confidence-building, emotional regulation, and navigating everyday challenges. I’m especially comfortable building trust with older kids and being a steady, positive role model. In college, I worked internationally as an au pair in Spain, teaching English and supporting a local family, and later became a live-in nanny in London for a one- and three-year-old. These roles gave me hands-on experience with early childhood routines, developmental milestones, structure, and patience—while also teaching me adaptability, communication, and cultural sensitivity. I also have experience with seniors and caregiving environments. My mother is a hospice caregiver, so I grew up around senior care and understand the importance of compassion, dignity, and attentiveness when supporting older adults. In addition, I am extremely comfortable with pets and home care. I’m a former member of TrustedHousesitters and have traveled internationally caring for homes and animals, managing everything from daily routines and medications to long-term stays. Animals are a joy for me, and I treat every home and pet as if they were my own. Personality-wise, families describe me as: • Warm, calm, and empathetic • Responsible and dependable • Fun, engaging, and emotionally aware • Great at communication and boundaries I’m someone who takes caregiving seriously while still bringing humor, creativity, and genuine care into every role. Whether I’m supporting kids, seniors, or pets, my goal is always the same: to make people feel safe, supported, and truly cared for.

Tim $30 per hour for 1 child

I *love* kids, from the awesome, fun 2 year olds to the teenagers that just need an adult in the room to make sure they're being cool with their social media ... I'm your guy for that. :) I'm a 53 year old father of two daughters, 19 and 13. I'm just a tech guy affected by layoffs and looking to "fill some holes in my budget," and find helping with kids is a great way to do that. Watching after the kids is fun and I get to help out some parents that need a break/some assistance. I remember being in that position when my kids were younger: wanting to go out, needing to take care of something, and not having someone trusted and reliable to count on. I can be your go-to here. I also don't mind some light housekeeping like laundry and dishes. I know I'd love to come back to my place just a little bit nicer than it was when I went out ... or at least don't have to take care of the kids' and babysitter's dishes or that wet load left in the washer before you left :) I think you'll like working with me and feel comfortable you can trust me with your kiddos.

I have been caring for children most of my life. I was a nanny while in high school and have a lot of nieces and nephews that I have cared for including overnight stays. I have three dogs of my own and have fostered 5 cats within the last two years. I have cared for seniors, including an elderly woman with Alzheimer's disease. I am an outgoing person who enjoys getting to know people and animals. I like to be helpful and am willing to do household chores and outside tasks that need to be taken care of. I am honest, reliable, respectful, creative, and fun!

"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
