My name Is Gabrielle! I'm a 30 year old social worker looking for child care opportunities. I work in the U-District with unhoused youth supporting with life skills, mental health and housing. I studied at SF State and obtained a BA in Psychology. In my free time I enjoy roller skating, working with local dog rescues, and reading. I’ve worked with many families, children, and pets to help them feel safe and supported while they are away.

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!

“The boys loved Emily. She did a great job. ”

"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."
