Booked by 14 families in University Place, WA

Hi! My name is Rosemary, but I also go by “Rose-berrie,” a playful nickname given to me by the children I’ve cared for. I’m 25 years old and have experience working at a children’s learning center in the Seattle area, where I’ve cared for infants, toddlers and preschoolers. As the youngest of a large family of six, I have also cared for my nephews (ages ranging from newborn to 4 years old), which has shown me firsthand how valuable a reliable helping hand can be for new mothers. I’ve also cared for little cousins, as well as the children of family friends and neighbors, since I was 15. Through my journey in child care, I’ve developed a genuine passion for working with kids and building strong relationships with parents. My experience, both in professional child care settings and with family, has given me skills in leading crafts, engaging in floor play, preparing meals, and keeping daily routines running smoothly. I take pride in creating a safe, happy, and engaging environment where children feel loved and supported. I am currently majoring in Early Childhood Development in college and working toward becoming a preschool teacher. Watching children learn, grow, and express their unique personalities is the most rewarding part of what I do. In addition to child care, I’m also experienced in household assistance. I have my own reliable transportation and bring warmth, professionalism, and a strong work ethic to every family I work with. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and provide care that makes life easier for you and your little ones.

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!

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! :)

"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)."
