Melissa $28 per hour for 1 child

Experienced child care provider with a toddler know how. With 15+ years experience working for the US Army as a childcare provider, I offer high quality care that coincides with Department of Defense standards. I strive to help children feel confident in their own bodies and facilitate healthy friendships. I consider myself an alt person (take that as you may) and have tattoos and piercings. I think it’s great for children to have experiences that are normal for the culture and community that we live in. If you would like your child(ren) to have safe, nurturing, adventurous childcare experience, please reach out and book my services.

Paul $21 per hour for 1 child

Caring for others comes naturally to me. As a Substitute Education Support Professional for Tacoma Public Schools, I work closely with children from preschool to high school, including those with special needs, providing patience, guidance, and support every day. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Humanities from Washington State University, which has strengthened my ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I believe in creating a warm, safe environment—whether it’s helping a child learn, offering companionship to a senior, or making sure pets feel loved and cared for. I’m dependable, empathetic, and always ready to lend a helping hand.

"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."

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)."
