Booked by 3 families in Tumwater, WA

My name is Claira. I love kids and am an aspiring mother. I used to baby sit for a colleague of mine, and I had a ton of fun doing so. I am a very caring and compassionate person, especially when it comes to watching after someone else's children. I understand that a parents child is their whole world, so I will do everything I can to make sure that they are cared for to the best of my ability. I also enjoy animals. I am a pet parent; have been my whole life. I currently have a dog and a 2 chinchillas. I have never met a dog I could not connect with. Caring for animals is one of those things that just comes naturally to me, so if you need someone reliable and with tons of experience taking care of pets, I'm your gal :) Just as a note. I take the COVID-19 pandemic seriously. I am fully vaccinated, and will not work with any family that is not. I value my health, and the health of those around me. I reserve the right to request proof of vaccination when meeting a new family.

“Claira was very sweet and our three year old had a blast playing with her! We will be using her again! ”

Moonshine $22 per hour for 1 child

My name is Moon, I’m 28 years old. I have around 6 years of experience in childcare and love working with high energy kids as well as shy and reserved kids. I am experienced in food prep and serving, diaper changes and potty training, creating curriculum that fits individual needs, nap time, and value gentle communication and care. My favorite parts of working with kids are reading books together, exploring and playing outside, and doing art and science activities. I’ve worked in retail for the last year now since I decided to take a break from school and am wanting to get back into childcare because I miss it and feel that it adds a lot of positivity to my life.

Danica $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families, my name is Danica. I am a dedicated, nurturing, and reliable nanny with experience caring for children from 2 months to 14 years old. I am BLS, CPR, and First Aid certified, and safety is always my top priority. I have many years of experience working with children, starting with babysitting my younger cousins and neighborhood kids growing up, and continuing professionally with families. I truly love supporting children’s development and creating a warm, engaging, and structured environment where they feel safe, seen, and encouraged to grow. I have my own reliable vehicle and can assist with school drop offs and pick ups, transportation to activities, and errands as needed. I am also happy to help with cooking, meal prep, light tidying, children’s laundry, and homework support. I plan to pursue schooling in Early Childhood Education because working with children is not just a job for me, it is something I genuinely feel passionate about long term. I value open communication with parents and strive to be someone your family can fully trust and rely on. I look forward to connecting with you. 💗

"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)."
