Meet college nannies and sitters from University of Washington

Hello! My name is Martha, I recently graduated from the University of Washington with my Bachelor of science in Heath informatics. I am kind, funny, fair & love helping kids grow academically. I am the oldest out of my family so caring for children come second nature to me. I also helped run an after school youth programs at my local community center. I love engaging in arts, crafts and trivia games. I look forward to learning more about your child/children and how best to support them. Please feel free to ask any questions about me! :)

Hi my name is Malyun. I am a student at the University of Washington (Seattle) exploring a career in healthcare. I’m offering childcare for occasional, part time shifts. I love baby sitting and being a helping hand. I’ve tutored and babysat children for around 5 years (ages 5-12) at a non profit organization (Big Brain Superhero’s). Helping with school, crafts and fun activities. I have been a caregiver for neurodivergent children (ADHD & Autism), my little brother I’ve been watching since I was 12. I’m also CPR certified. I also enjoy playing chess, hiking and painting!

Hello everyone! My name is Sarra, and I live in Greenwood, Seattle. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Public Health Global Health from the University of Washington (Go Huskies!). I’ve been working as a full-time community navigator. A significant part of my job involves interacting with families and kids to create fun activities and events. I am wanting to work as a babysitter a few times a week with families who need help after school, weekends or date night! I’m musically inclined and believe that music has the power to heal any wound. I’ve always loved children and was the most trusted family member to watch over my little cousins. I have experience working with toddlers, young children, and teenagers aged 3 to 17. I’ve also worked with children on the spectrum. In my experience, I engage children in activities they enjoy the most and provide them with ideas to explore. I go out of my way to find the best activities to keep them occupied, such as learning a new language (I’m multilingual and speak French and Arabic), writing, drawing, or painting. The activities can vary depending on the child’s interests and passions. Some children love reading sessions, while others prefer singing, coloring, and drawing with music on, or simply playing board games like puzzles and interactive Lego construction games! Exploring the outdoors is also a fun activity to do if interested! I can help with homework and tutoring in various subjects, including English, Math, STEM subjects, and many others. I’m also a great cook and make all sorts of sandwiches, meals, and quick snacks that your children will love! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to send me a message. I’d be more than happy to answer them for you.

Hello! My name's Emily, and I'm a recent graduate from the University of Washington. I've mainly worked with children in the K-5 age range, but I'm very open to babysitting children of younger ages as well! Most recently, this last summer I was employed as an Assistant Instructor at IslandWood, an environmental education day camp on Bainbridge Island. I've also worked as an After-School Counselor at Wedgwood Elementary School. Additionally, I have past experience as a babysitter with middle-school aged children. I have a Honda CR-V with four seats (three in the back seat, one in the front seat if old enough) if any type of driving is needed. If you would like to talk further or have any questions, feel free to contact me!

Hi! I’m Fatima, a student at the University of Washington’s Foster School of Business, and I genuinely love working with children. As the oldest in my family, I naturally grew up helping care for younger siblings and relatives, and I’ve been babysitting children of all ages, from newborns to preteens since I was 12 years old. I love creating a warm, safe, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. Whether we’re doing crafts, playing outside, helping with homework, baking treats, or simply having fun together, I always try to make sure children feel supported, happy, and cared for. I also understand how important trust and communication are for parents, and I always strive to be someone families can truly rely on. In past nannying and babysitting experiences, I’ve helped with school pick-ups and drop-offs, tutoring, meal prep, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and keeping busy schedules organized. More than anything, I love building genuine connections with the families I work with and becoming a positive and dependable presence in children’s lives. Families often describe me as patient, caring, responsible, and energetic, and I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and support your little ones!

Hi! I'm Anuradha! I offer dog walking, dog and cat sitting, and house sitting! I have grown up with my family dog, taking him for walks, feeding him and dog sitting. I absolutely love dogs and how sweet they are! I am careful, loyal, dependable and make sure that the dog gets enough exercise and fully completed their potty time before ending their walk.

Hi! My name is Natalie and I am passionate about working with children. I have been babysitting and nannying non-stop since I was 12 years old. I love making meaningful connections with families, so I appreciate when I can become a frequent sitter for a family. I graduated from the University of Washington, Seattle in June 2020 with a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies. I focused on environmental education in my undergrad, so I love taking kids outside to get them curious and excited about our beautiful planet. Most recently, I worked at a food bank in Seattle for two and a half years as a kitchen manager, creating ~1,000+ meals per day for low income/unhoused neighbors. This job was a dream job and also an incredibly difficult job that I’ve found myself needing a break from. Burn out is real in this world! Switching up my work and finding joy in play and caring for kids is exactly where I want to be. A little more about me: I’m an avid-outdoors person. I love backpacking, cycling, swimming, and skiing. In my free time I love exploring different mediums of art and creating in the kitchen! When I’m not nannying or babysitting, you can find me cooking something in the kitchen. I co-organize a free breakfast for unhoused neighbors once a week. I love to read— and would love to read to your little ones! Some of my most joyful memories from my own childhood are when the adults in my life would read me a bedtime story. I love the play and imagination a book can offer! I am happy to provide references from previous families beyond the Urban Sitter app reviews upon request. I look forward to getting to meet you and your family!

Hello! I’m Kaitlynn and I’m excited to work with you and your kiddos! I am an alumna of the UW with a degree in biology, planning on heading to medical school. I am hoping to find a few families that I can babysit for consistently so myself, and the kids and parents alike can be comfortable and confident. I have previously volunteered as a tutor of varying ages (5-13), and helped take care of my nephew who is now 10 years old. I am BLS certified and knowledgeable on basic first aid (though not certified in that). I am preparing for the MCAT and working (my job is highly variable and I am able to set my schedule for the most part) during this gap year. I look forward to talking with you soon!

Hi, my name is Emma! I work as a social worker and babysit/nanny on the side. I love getting to know families in the area. I am most often available for date nights/evening babysitting and live in the Wallingford area (but I have transportation and am happy to travel outside of this area)! Before I pursued a Masters of Social Work, I worked with children and adolescents for 8 years as a nanny, K-2 Spanish teacher and educational assistant. I also worked for several years as a mental health specialist with youth experiencing severe mental illness. My experience as a babysitter and a teacher has given me the ability to confidently set up activities and supervise children so that they can have fun and be safe. My background in mental health has given me the ability to manage behavioral challenges and conflict. I’m happy to provide references upon request! I just don’t list them here to protect their privacy. I look forward to getting to know you and your kiddos! Please reach out if you have any questions.

Hi there! I currently work at UW in the College of Education and I’m looking for some part time work outside of my regular work hours. I've worked with kids my whole life. I'm the oldest of 7, and I've always helped out at the house. In the past, I worked as a camp counselor at an outdoor camp based in San Francisco. I got to work with kids 4-12 and teach them awesome things like kayaking, mountain biking, and SUPing. In addition, I have experience working as a nanny to an infant throughout college. I've always loved working with kids, and I love the constant energy! I will always prioritize your child’s safety and I have a background in child psychology from UW. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions and I’m so excited to get to know your family.
