Alicia $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Alicia, I’m 24 years old and was born and raised in Tacoma, Washington. My ethnicity is Native American, Korean and White. I graduated from Chief Leschi Schools and have always been active in sports, especially basketball and volleyball, which I still enjoy today. My current hobbies include going to the gym, video games, and cars. I am CPR and First Aid certified, as well as a licensed and insured driver. I would describe myself as fun, caring, dependable, patient, clean, organized, and highly communicative. I have 3 years of paid childcare experience, but caregiving has been part of my life for much longer. Growing up, I helped care for my three younger siblings due to my mother raising us as a single parent. Helping with younger children from my teenage years taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating a safe, supportive, and loving environment. I genuinely love caregiving and being someone families can trust and rely on. I enjoy helping children learn, grow, stay active, and feel comfortable. I understand every child has different needs and personalities, and I enjoy building positive relationships with both children and parents. Seeing children happy, supported, and safe in my care is something I find very rewarding. I have experience caring for up to 3 children at once for 8-hour days, with ages ranging from 11 months to 5 years old, but I’m comfortable caring for older children as well. I’m experienced with maintaining routines, meal preparation, activities, and everyday childcare responsibilities. In addition to childcare, I’m available for pet care, including watching dogs and cats, walks, feeding, and bathing. I also genuinely enjoy cleaning and staying organized, so helping with light household tasks such as dishes, laundry, vacuuming, mopping, and tidying up is never a problem. I take pride in creating a safe, caring, fun, and organized environment for children, pets, and families. I understand how important trust, communication, and reliability are when allowing someone into your home, and I strive to be someone families feel comfortable depending on.

"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)."
