Germaine $18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Tacoma, WA

Hi — My name is Germaine, and I am a caring and experienced mother of six children. My oldest child is in their 30s and my youngest is 10 years old. I also have two young grandchildren (ages 4 and 2) whom I cared for regularly before recently moving to the United States. I am offering child care services. Taking care of children is something I truly love and have done all my life. I have hands-on experience with all age groups, from newborns and toddlers to older children, through raising my own children and helping with my grandchildren. I enjoy spending time with children through simple and meaningful activities like playing games, reading, talking, and helping them learn good habits. I am patient, attentive, and always make sure children feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I can also help with light household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and keeping the home organized. I am reliable, kind, and dedicated to supporting families with their daily needs. While I do not yet have formal certifications in the U.S., my many years of real-life experience as a mother and caregiver have given me strong skills and understanding in childcare. I would be happy to provide a safe, loving, and supportive environment for your children.

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.

Hi there, thank you for considering me as your babysitter! My name is Tanya, I’m a wife of 9 years and a mama of 2. I'm CPR certified and have 11 years of paid Nanny experience. I absolutely adore working with children and wouldn’t change it for the world. Over the years of my career I've learned to be patient and work with the child(ren) through any obstacle we face, to their comfortability and what's best for the situation we are resolving, along with entertaining the heck out of them, of course!! I do not drink nor smoke so I can promise you that nothing will ever hinder my awareness on the job and your little ones will always have 100% of my love and attention at all times! I’m really excited about the 100+ families I’ve babysat for through UrbanSitter, and looking forward to connecting with more. Thank you so much for reading a little bit about me, can’t wait to meet you and your kiddos!

"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)."
