Hello! I’m Jac— a part-time artist with over 15 years of experience working with children. I am passionate about creating a safe and creative environment for kids and pets. I graduated from Seattle University with a bachelors in WGST and am hoping to continue my eduction in carpentry. My work experience includes babysitting, tutoring, teaching art, children’s theatre, dog/ cat sitting, and general household services. I have worked with 0-16 year olds, with the bulk of my experiences being with pre-school aged children. As an artist, it is important for me to bring creativity and levity to all that I do. I am organized, timely, and aim to foster good communication between all parties involved. If you have questions, feel free to reach out! Thank you!

“Jaclyn is great with my picky kids (12 & 15) - they love her! She is wonderful at helping me manage our family schedule and the many responsibilities we have. She can anticipate conflicts with our schedule and communicate with me, all while getting the kids fed and making time to play a game. Highly recommended.”

Hello, my name is Alannah. I am currently toddler/all school support teacher at Primrose School. I am very dedicated to making sure the children’s needs are always first! I have been in childcare for around 7 years now. I started as a tutor then worked my way to becoming a babysitter. I enjoy learning while we play, and I would love to help out in anyway I can. I have all my childcare trainings with background checks and I’m currently in college earning my bachelor’s degree in secondary education. I have 2 dogs so I have no problem taking care of pets. I love learning so if there is anything that I do not know, I will always love to learn about it.

Booked by 7 families in Kirkland, WA

Hi, I’m Simnera! I’m a mom of two, my daughter is 5 and my son is 3. I love being around kids and I’m very comfortable caring for babies and young children. I also work at Seattle Children’s Hospital as a patient care technician, where I work with kids from infants to teenagers. Through my job I’ve completed different pediatric care trainings and certifications, including pediatric BLS. I’m comfortable with feeding, diaper changes, playing, and following the child’s regular routine. I’m patient, caring, and easygoing. As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your kids, and I’ll always treat them with the same care I would want for my own.

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
