Czharlene $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Czharlene and I really like all children. My favorite color is pink, and I am currently in Nursing School to become a pediatrics nurse in the future. My parents are both teachers, so I really know a lot about how to handle children. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I used to work in geriatrics so I am very familiar with the elderly! I think I would be a great fit as a babysitter, whether it is to take your kids to and from practice or to simply watch them. Or take care of grandpa or grandma! :)

Maria $22 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive experience caring for children, families, and individuals in both professional and personal settings. I worked as a Supervisor at a daycare, where I was responsible for the safety, well-being, and development of children of different ages. I also have experience supporting families through my background in psychology, which has given me strong skills in communication, empathy, patience, and understanding individual needs. In addition, I have years of experience caring for older adults and family members, including helping with daily routines, providing companionship, and ensuring a safe and supportive environment. I am also comfortable caring for pets and understand the importance of consistency, responsibility, and attention to detail. My greatest strengths as a caregiver are my compassion, reliability, patience, and ability to remain calm under pressure. I am naturally nurturing, highly responsible, and genuinely enjoy helping others feel safe, respected, and cared for. I am attentive to both physical and emotional needs, and I take pride in creating positive, trusting relationships with the people I support. My combination of professional experience, life experience, strong work ethic, and caring personality makes me an excellent caregiver.

Agostina 4 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Tacoma, WA

Hello! My name is Agostina (Agos), I am from Argentina and I am an infant Qualified nanny (Mom as well). I’ve been working with different families taking care of toddlers and infants! I am really good managing the schedule (naps, playing time, food, outdoor activities, play dates, tummy time and more.) I also worked as an Au Pair for two years during 2018 and 2019, so I am pretty good following family rules, maintaining a good communication with the parents and prioritizing always what’s best for the kid/kids. Currently looking for occasional or part time opportunities around Tacoma and surrounding areas. Please feel free to ask me any questions and I am more than happy to give you references as well.

Agostina was great - she came in, immediately connected with my son, and got him down for his nap (no easy feat!)

Emily $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Em, and I am an experienced, compassionate, and energy-loving individual who is dedicated to the world of childcare and development. With a background in child development and theater, I aspire to provide the space our children need to grow confidently, blending knowledge and teaching moments with silliness and empathy. I had the privilege to practice exactly this in my year-long experience at The Little Gym, where I worked as an instructor for ages ranging from 1-12. My specific experience lies primarily in ages 1-5, as I taught the classes involved with parents learning alongside their kiddos, as well as the independent preschool classes. Never a dull moment in these classes! We were always on our feet, learning with our bodies and brains simultaneously. My passion lies in child development, meaning that I am aware and understanding of the varying levels and differing needs of every child, no matter the age. I can identify and apply my knowledge of development and education to a wide variety of scenarios, whether it be tailoring a meal plan for our picky 2-year-old, (I cook too!) or developing a homework system together with our curious 3rd grader. I believe myself to be particularly skilled in allowing children to feel listened to and seen, ESPECIALLY in tough moments involving big emotions. On top of this, I also come with the skills of activity-planning, culinary arts, crafts, and my certifications in First Aid and CPR. I also feel it’s important to mention that I have specific knowledge and skills in children with special needs, as I was raised alongside a brother with severe ASD and grew to be very familiar with what it looks like and the special care it requires. Above everything, it is most important to me that you know that I deeply care about our kids and that there is nothing I want more than for you to feel comfortable with who you’re leaving to care for your little ones. I want you to step out that front door feeling confident that you’re in safe hands. No matter if your kiddo is at the stage where they’ve just recently made the miraculous discovery of travel by feet, perfecting belting their ABC’s to proudly show off to their school companions, or navigating the awkward independence of impending teenage-hood, I can guarantee I will be prepared for all of it every step of the way. I hope to meet you and your family soon!

"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)."
