Tenzin $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Tenzin, and I am currently a college student completing my healthcare prerequisites with plans to pursue a career in healthcare. I am CPR certified and have always enjoyed caring for others. I am dependable, patient, organized, and energetic. I love creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and parents have peace of mind.   I have several years of hands-on experience helping care for my younger sister and my elementary school-aged brother. I also have 2 years of experience helping care for the elderly. Through this experience, I have learned how to keep children engaged, help with daily routines, encourage positive behavior, and adapt to each child's unique personality and needs. I like chatting with kids through the elderly, spending time outdoors, reading books, or helping with schoolwork.    I can assist with meal preparation, bath time, bedtime routines, laundry, light housekeeping, and transportation to camps, sports practices, or appointments using my own car. My goal is to make life a little easier for busy families while providing compassionate care for your loved one!

Booked by 1 family in Tacoma, WA

Hi! I'm Shylene. With a deep passion for childcare and extensive experience, I’ve had the privilege of working at KinderCare and Right At School, where I created safe, nurturing spaces for children ages 5-12. As a Program Manager, I developed engaging activities, supported homework time, and prepared snacks with careful attention to dietary needs. I’m highly skilled in meeting children’s individual needs, including managing allergies, and keeping accurate records. Beyond these roles, I’ve also enjoyed babysitting for children ages 0-4, where I provide loving care by feeding, bathing, and building strong emotional connections. Since a kid I was always told I had a motherly nature. Aside from babysitting I worked as a Teaching Fellow, and worked closely with K-1st graders, fostering their learning while maintaining open and clear communication with families. My experiences ensure I can bring dependable, compassionate, and tailored care to your family.

Booked by 1 family in Tacoma, WA

I personally have a seven and a half year old. They have some special needs so I was a stay at home mom for 5 years. For the last year and a half I was working with infants 0-3 month olds. My place of business closed and I am looking forward to getting to know more age groups and age gaps. I have been a sitter for kids, cats, dogs, fish, snakes, lizards, and yes, some bug types. I enjoy the curiosity and stages of mental and physical growth with kids. My strengths are commination and structure. I like to know the schedules and needs of everybody so I can be the most successful help.

Iryna $23 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, responsible, and experienced nanny who genuinely loves working with children. I have several years of childcare experience with children of different ages, from infants as young as 3 months old to school-age children. I also work in a school, which has given me valuable experience supporting children with learning, development, and everyday activities. I enjoy creating fun and educational activities, playing with children, helping with homework, and keeping them engaged and active. I’m patient, reliable, punctual, attentive, and always make children’s safety and well-being my top priority. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping related to the children, tidying up, and preparing simple meals. I have a reliable car and can drive children when needed. I’m flexible with my schedule and available for date nights, evenings, weekends, and occasional overnight care. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted and dependable part of your family and provide your children with safe, loving, and dependable care.

"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)."
