Arahmy $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Arahmy. I’m a medical school graduate currently studying for my medical boards before applying to residency, and I’m looking to offer childcare, senior care, pet care, and household support. I’m a patient, responsible, and loving caregiver who genuinely enjoys playing with kids and supporting families. While my years of experience have been caring for older adults, I also have some babysitting experience, though it has been on and off over the past few years. I’m happy to help with homework, activities, errands, and household tasks like cleaning and meal prepping. For those only looking for a household helper I would also be willing to help with any household tasks to make your week go smoother. I am bilingual in Spanish and also love pets—I can help take care of them, including walks, feeding, and playtime. My goal is to provide reliable, safe, and nurturing care while making life a little easier for the families I work with.

Chae $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Chae (but go by Rachel), and I bring a unique mix of professional experience, academic background, and personal passions to caregiving/childcare. I’m fluent in both Korean and English, hold a Master’s degree in AI Engineering, and was a math Olympiad competitor and 3-time spelling bee champion growing up. I also dabble in classical piano playing and love incorporating music, creative play, and learning (specifically STEM subjects; kindergartners should have the multiplication table memorized, at the very least) into daily routines with kids. My approach is fun, nurturing, and structured; I believe in encouraging independence, healthy emotional expression, and creativity, while also holding clear boundaries. I don’t believe in “babying” kids, but I do value empathy, communication, and respect. I enjoy preparing nutritious, often organic meals, and always tailor care to suit each family’s values and needs. Whether it’s caring for children, pets, or helping manage a household, I bring reliability, warmth, and a thoughtful, educated approach to everything. In addition, I have over 3 years of experience as a top-rated pet sitter on Rover and formerly a veterinary technician, so I’m extremely comfortable with animals of all kinds, including those with medical or behavioral needs.

I am a caring and experienced childcare provider with a background in working with infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. I have strong experience supporting potty training and guiding children through important developmental milestones.

Jordan $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Jordan. I am a recent college grad from UW Seattle. I am very outdoorsy, personable, compassionate and patient, and I love children and animals! I have been babysitting and pet sitting since I was in high school in 2017. I am currently working full time as a Day Camp Counselor with the Outdoors for All Foundation. I was invited back to summer programming after excelling as a children’s Adaptive Ski Instructor during the winter season. In this role, I supervise and engage youth in adaptive recreational activities, ensuring fun and safety in a camp setting that tailor to individual needs. Along with my co-counselors, I help to promote social development, independence, confidence-building through accessible play and recreation. This role ends at the end of summer, so I am looking for a full time role as a nanny this fall! I have experience babysitting children of all ages, my most recent nanny position was for two boys (6, 4) for the first 6 months of 2025. I prepared breakfast and packed lunches, drove them to school, and picked them up from school when requested. I was also a consistent caretaker for a family in my hometown for a girl and a boy (5, 1) for 3 years. I love taking children on walks/to the park, doing puzzles and learning games, reading to them, cooking and feeding them, and taking them to any necessary appointments, schooling, etc. I have a car so I am available to drive if needed. I have lots of experience with pet-sitting, primarily with large dogs (golden retrievers, doodles, bulldogs, and a German shepherd). I also grew up with dogs my whole life and have never met a dog I didn’t love (also fond of cats, but have less experience pet-sitting cats). I volunteer at the Seattle Humane Society and am a huge lover of pets. Some of my favorite things to do when dog-sitting are going for walks, taking them to the dog park (if they are comfortable with other dogs/people), and spending time with them inside. I have plenty of references if you are looking to get in touch with any of my past contacts. Please reach out to me on this platform if you are in need of assistance!

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
