Cindy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm a single mom who has raised 2 sons that now have families of their own. I have 3 grandchildren, and it's what pushed me to make a career move after 15 years at a sales job that I was unhappy in. I started watching my grandson every Saturday when he was just 6 weeks, and it was such a joy that I decided to take the plunge and market myself as a Nanny. I have worked for families with infants & toddlers, starting at 6 weeks. I thoroughly love what I do and have excellent references. I am open to adventures outside the home, as well as transportation to & from school or other activities. I strongly believe in the benefits of reading & music. I am also a huge nature lover, and try to be outside any chance I get, trail walking, or go to a nearby park. Inside crafts and reading can be fun if the weather doesn't permit, and building forts or dancing to music always lifts the spirits! Music is life! I completed my certification in the "Child Care Aware" program which is offered thru the military. It involves a 6 week in depth course focusing on beyond the basics CPR & first aide for infants and toddlers. After completing the online portion there was a hands-On class to show what you had learned. I have several great references I've posted, and any of them would be happy to speak with you. My ideal job would be full-time and permanent, but I'm open to partime that has the potential to grow towards full time. I'm open to performing a variety of different duties in order to make life a little less stressful for you, and I also understand that the safety and development of your child is priority. I have a dependable vehicle that can accommodate child's car seats, and I have a clean driving record as well as state and federal background check I can share. I'm hoping to get the opportunity to speak further with you to see if you'd feel like be a good fit with your family thank you for taking the time and reading this.

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.

"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)."
