Petra 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Petra. I am originally from Alaska, a full-time Early Childhood Education (ECE) student at PCC, and a future teacher! I hold an Associate Degree in Music and Sonic Arts from Portland Community College, and I am a passionate singer-songwriter and drummer. My ultimate goal is to combine my love and passion for music and working with children to create a creative, enriching, and joyful environment for kids. I have been babysitting on UrbanSitter for a year now and absolutely love the amazing families I’ve met so far! Before transitioning to education, I spent 15 years in the restaurant industry and earned my culinary degree. I shifted careers because I truly connect with children. We share a spontaneous, excited-for-life energy and a deep fascination for the little things in life. I love bringing my Alaskan sense of adventure, rhythmic play, and sonic arts into outdoor adventures and daily music-making. I look forward to connecting with your family!

I highly recommend Petra for your childcare needs! She took extensive time to get to know our child prior to watching her, and is very responsive to her needs. Petra communicates well and is prompt and reliable. My daughter adores her, and they always have fun during their time together. Petra leaves our home spotless, and even loves on our dog too. You will love her!

Brittany $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Brittany and I have a background in childcare before becoming a licensed physical therapist assistant. My license and work experience have given me the skills needed to be comfortable with elder care, care for adults and children with physical and/or cognitive delays, and more! With 20 years of experience off and on I have cared for multiple kids at once, been a nanny, occasional babysitter, fill-in nanny, you name it! Most of my experience has been with children ages 6mo-5yrs, but all ages are great. If the weather is nice I like to get everyone outside, but games and crafts indoors make for a nice day too! In my free time I enjoy hiking, discovering new restaurants and coffee shops, listening to a podcast, reading a good book and hanging out with my cat, Alfie!

Kerry $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I've been working in childcare since I was 12 years old (in a day care) and started to nanny professionally at 18. I recently was laid off from my job after being there for almost 8 years! The family grew out of needing a nanny. So I need a family to care for 🥹 I've worked with many other families, sometimes multiple at a time (just different care jobs for families that need part time help), as well as several other families full time. I've also done lots of caregiving work for people with disabilities and occasionally the elderly. I've had non-nanny jobs too, working in a library, a printmaking studio, and a couple coffee shops. About me aside from work--I've went to Oregon College of Art & Craft and graduating in 2014 with a focus on Book Arts and ceramics. So I'm creative! I keep and etching press at home and love to help kiddos make and learn about art. Lots of drawing and creativity are important to me. I'm also passionate about animals--I have a dog and cat and used to have a bunny as well. I care about all animals. My dog is a little beagle named Tulip who came from an animal testing facility. My cat is a 12 year old mutt cat named Gaely. I hope to help out in any way possible. Cooking, cleaning, and attention to details are a strong spot for me. I love to help organize--I know how hard it can be to keep everything in place when you have kiddos. Wishing you luck on your search! <3 Kerry

Hi, my name is Katie. I’m 25 years old and grew up in a family of 16 from the same parents. As the 6th oldest, I’ve been babysitting and caring for younger siblings for most of my life as well as my 9 nieces and nephews. I grew up in Vancouver, Washington until 2020, when my family moved to Florida. 2 months ago I decided to move back to Vancouver and live with my sister for the church, community, and friendships.

"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)."
