Booked by 18 families in Kirkland, WA

Hi, my name is Nina and I moved up here about a year ago from Florida, now I’m in school for nursing. I’m available for babysitting, senior care, and house services. Im just looking for side work to help pay for school. Back home I was teaching kids at children’s church ages 2-10. Also I did baby sit a few kids after church at their houses per the parents request (ages 3,7, and 10). I’ve grown up mainly around older people and enjoy spending time with them as well. My grandparents run a cleaning business back home which I helped with a lot too if other services are needed. Right now I work at Seattle children’s hospital and at a clinic for children on the spectrum. I also have a lot of back ground volunteering in SPED classrooms and ASD clinics. Since I work in a clinical setting I am CPR, BLS, FIRST AID, AND CPI certified. Overall I’m really into music, reading, and the arts. So I always find something fun to do with the kids whether it’s just dance, teaching instruments, drawing, karaoke, teaching a card games, helping with homework, or reading them a story! I like cook for my siblings and other kids I have babysat, so if needed I can cook as well.

“Nina was very responsive with the scheduling process. My three year old had a great time playing and being read to. Nina did great with cleaning up after feeding him. Highly recommend her and hope to work again with her. ”

Dear parents, I love kids and enjoy spending quality time with them. I really enjoy helping children to do their homework, playing games, reading stories, shopping, walking, dancing, singing, cooking, baking, and other activities. I am on time, patient, reliable, kind, assertive, and very flexible. I consider babysitting as a professional career. My punctuality identifies me as a responsible babysitter for taking care of your children. You can trust me and will have confidence leaving your children with me and I will ensure all the rules will be followed by myself and the children. I like to stick to the schedule that the children’s parents provide and show you that I have respect for your rules. I am very organized and like to set up different activities for the children, I am able to make homemade Montessori and sensory plays at your request. I am currently studying Behavioral Health and looking for a job to fill out my schedule. I have studied child development and I’m able to provide activities based on their growth development and work with them with their fine and gross motor skills. Finally, I always listen and observe what is going on around the kids and do my BEST to be one of the memorable and kind babysitter’s for them.

“Hedieh was great with our 11-month-old! Communication was effortless, she arrived right on time, and she asked all the right questions about his routine to put us at ease We felt comfortable leaving our baby in her care. We will definitely hired her again! ”

"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."
