Hello! I’m Kimberly and I’ve been using UrbanSitter for 6 years! I began working with kids when I was around 16, starting with the kids of the teachers at my school as well as family members. After that, I helped my aunt often with her home daycare. I have nannied children of all ages. I’ve nannied for the same couple of families for the past 2 years. I enjoy doing activities with the kids and getting to know them. Other than nannying, I love to dance, hike, watch movies, and spend time with family and friends.

Hi, my name is Kelly. I’m 29 years old, and I’m a dual citizen of Mexico and the United States. I’m a caring, responsible, and family-oriented person who truly enjoys working with children. I would love the opportunity to provide a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where your children can learn, grow, and explore the world around them. I’m a professional nanny with over 9 years of experience in Seattle, providing exceptional care for children ranging from newborns to 12 years old. Throughout my experience, I have developed strong skills in creating fun and educational activities, supporting children’s routines, and building trusting relationships with both children and families. I’m also comfortable with family travel and have the flexibility to travel internationally due to my dual citizenship. Skills: • Early Childhood Education (ECE) • CPR Certified • Spanish native/fluent speaker • English intermediate level • Valid U.S. Driver’s License My passion for childcare started when I was younger, taking care of my little brothers and cousins in Mexico. Those experiences helped me discover how much I enjoy being around children and supporting their development. I believe every child deserves patience, attention, love, and encouragement to help them grow into happy and confident individuals. My goal is to make every day special for your children by creating a positive, safe, and fun environment where they feel loved and cared for. I want them to end each day with a smile and feel excited for the next adventure we share together. I would be happy to provide 3 or more excellent references upon request. If you would like to know more about me, please feel free to send me a message. I would love the opportunity to meet your family! Thank you so much!

“We cannot recommend Kelly highly enough! She has been an invaluable part of our family since our daughter was just 2 months old and stay with us for 2+ years. Transitioning back to work and leaving a young infant is never easy, but Kelly made us feel completely at ease from day one. She is incredibly energetic, cheerful, and brings a wonderful positive energy into our home every single day. It is clear that she truly cares about our daughter, treating her with the utmost care, attentiveness, and love. Our daughter absolutely adores her, and their days together are always filled with laughter and joy. Beyond being an exceptional caregiver for our child, Kelly has been a true pleasure to work with and a wonderful addition to our family dynamic. If you are looking for a nanny who is careful, genuinely loving, and dedicated, Kelly is the absolute best. We recommend her without hesitation!”

Hi! My name is Monet. I’m 27 years old and originally from Thailand. I am offering child care, senior care, and household support. I have experience working with children of all ages. I worked as a kindergarten and elementary teacher in Thailand for 4 years, and I have spent the last 2 years as an au pair caring for infants and young children. I especially enjoy cooking, doing arts and crafts, and creating age-appropriate developmental activities. I grew up around pets including dogs, cats, and fish so I am very comfortable working in homes with animals. I have also provided senior care for my own grandparents and can assist with cooking, light cleaning, driving to appointments, and daily tasks. I am reliable, patient, and committed to creating a safe and positive environment for the families I work with.

FYI I am located in the Fremont area and do not have a car. Only accepting clients in Seattle proper unless transportation is otherwise coordinated. Thank you! Hi! I’ve been caring for kids, pets, and helping households in different ways for many years. I started babysitting in high school and continued on and off through college, and also worked as a camp counselor in high school with kids going into kindergarten. I’m additionally a proud aunt to two boys (Ian is 3, and Ellis was just born on May 2!) and have spent a lot of time caring for and babysitting them over the years. I’m naturally very creative, patient, attentive, and emotionally aware, and I care a lot about making sure kids feel safe, listened to, respected, and genuinely seen. I’m also reliable, responsible, and organized, so parents can feel comfortable knowing things will actually be handled well and consistently. I enjoy engaging with kids in a real way rather than just supervising them passively, whether that means creative activities, outdoor time, games, helping with routines, or simply being a calm and supportive presence. Animals have also been a huge part of my life. I grew up with dogs, worked at a dog groomer in high school, fostered dogs through the ASPCA and Furever Home Rescue in New Jersey, and adopted my own rescue dog through Big Dog Rescue Project in 2020. I currently work professionally through Rover and have experience with walks, drop-ins, overnight care, routines, medication support, and caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I take pet care very seriously and understand how important trust, communication, safety, and consistency are when someone is caring for a beloved animal. Beyond caregiving, I’m also highly organized and happy to help with general household support such as tidying, organizing, errands, light cleaning, meal prep, pet-related cleanup, receiving deliveries, watering plants, or helping keep things running smoothly overall. I’m adaptable, detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and genuinely enjoy helping create a more peaceful and supported environment for people. I’m new to Urban Sitter and haven’t collected reviews here yet, but you can find reviews on my Bambino babysitter profile, or check out my LinkedIn page. Happy to provide both to you when we connect.

"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."
