Mekhia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents!!!! I'm Mekhia and I have experience working with children for the past 6 years. I have had three families that I've nannied for ranging from a couple months old to five years old. I am big on creativity and activity. I love taking my kiddos on adventures outside of the house and discovering new things with them. As well as making up crafts for us to do. I am also big on baking so any and all baking ideas are welcome with me. I would say I'm an avid reader and have started my nanny kids on multiple book series that have created lovely memories for us. I not only want to create a connection with your kiddos but also you the parents as well because getting to know the people you're working with can really make or break an environment. I also have ten plus years' experience working with pets and animals. I have owned 13 at a time myself and currently am the parent of two cats so nothing much scares me about animals. Including pets I will also help with house chores. I love to sweep, do laundry, pick up toys, vacuum and do dishes as well as organizing.

Germaine $18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in University Place, 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.

I find joy in creating delicious meals and ensuring that everything is prepared and presented beautifully.

"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)."
