Erin $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello there, my name is Erin, and I am offering child-care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I am an experienced caregiver and former stay-at-home mom who raised two daughters from infancy through adulthood (both are now in college). My years of hands-on parenting shaped my patience, emotional awareness, and understanding of children’s needs throughout all of the developmental stages. I also have extensive experience in household management duties, and am a good cook. I am happy to do the weekly shopping, errands, and light cleaning around the schedule of those I am caring for. Additionally, I also have extensive experience in elderly care; I am a trained death doula and volunteer my time in hospice care - work that has deepened my presence, compassion, and ability to hold space with steadiness and care. I approach caregiving with maturity, respect, and a genuine commitment to creating a safe, nurturing environment for children and families. This volunteer work has become very meaningful to me after years of working with senior volunteers through a previous job managing a non-profit. As for pets, I am the lucky owner of a little dog named Moxie, and have cared for many animals over my 44 years. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience with chickens, ducks, pigs, birds, rabbits, and goats. Currently, and for the past seventeen years, I have spent much of my free time working as a paper artist, and I value creativity, curiosity, and thoughtful engagement. I love to incorporate creative activities and play into the time I get to spend with the children in my care. I look forward to learning about your family and needs to see if we are all a good fit for one another :)

Dakota $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Vancouver, WA

Hi! I’m Dakota and I am currently in grad school at PSU for clinical psychology. Upon graduation I’ll be a therapist! I am offering child care, pet care, & household services. I love interacting with kids and seeing how their little brains work and process the world. tapping into play as an adult is so important and little ones are a great example of that. I have been working with kids since I was 14 years old and still watch my friend’s kiddos to this day. Ranging from infant to young children 10-12 years old. I also love pets! I have two cats of my own and grew up with lots of dogs around so I welcome a home that has a furry friend. I can’t wait to meet you and your family :)

Frances $17 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Vancouver, WA

Hi! I'm Halo, a senior at Western Washington University, home in Vancouver for the summer. My time as a summer camp counselor has taught me a lot about kids of various ages, and how to manage all sorts of situations. What I love about working with kids is getting to see how they understand the world! It has always been really important to me to understand multiple perspectives, and I think the viewpoint children have is super important. I am also very interested in keeping kids entertained without screens! I love reading, board games, and playing outside, especially if we can work some learning opportunities into that play. Please don't hesitate to reach out for more information! I would also love to work with animals. I have the most experience with dogs and cats, but I am a very quick learner (and willing to do research on my own!).

Debbie $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m an empty nester and I’m beginning to explore the gig economy after a 23-year career in real estate. I bring a strong sense of responsibility, professionalism, and communication skills from years of working closely with families and managing high-trust client relationships. While I’m new to paid childcare platforms like UrbanSitter, I have hands-on parenting experience raising my son, which gave me a solid foundation in day-to-day childcare, structure, and staying calm and attentive in all kinds of situations. I’m currently focused on occasional babysitting, home help, and overnight care, not regular recurring schedules. I’m comfortable with late-night or overnight stays when needed and can be flexible for one-time jobs, date nights, or travel support. I’m also very comfortable with pets and would be happy to bring my small, non-shedding doodle along for overnight stays if needed. He is well-behaved, quiet, and used to being around children and new homes. Families can expect someone who is reliable, respectful of household routines, easy to communicate with, and attentive to both children and home environments. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks such as tidying up, organization,meal prep and cleanup, and keeping things orderly during my time in your home. Looking forward to supporting families who need trustworthy, occasional care.

Melissa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am an aunt of three boys and two girls. I nannied my sister’s three children and helped her with each of them from infancy through their first ten years. I have had nanny, animal, and house sitting jobs sporadically throughout the past seven years, and I enjoy all of it. Many friends have babies now, and I babysit for them when needed. The children range from 3 months to two years old. I am patient, kind, and honest while also being straightforward. I love to help others and make life easier.

"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)."
