Booked by 4 families in Kirkland, WA

Hello parents! My name is Sue, and I live in Ballard. I have years of childcare experience, including long-term nanny roles from 2017 to 2025, as well working as a bookkeeper. My most recent position I worked as a full time nanny for a 6 month old who has now moved onto a traditional daycare.  I am enthusiastic about finding a new family to provide care for as I genuinely enjoy building connections with children and helping them learn, play, and grow. Families I’ve worked with in the past have appreciated my reliability, creativity, and ability to balance fun with structure. I have fabulous letters of recommendation to send upon request. Look forward to meeting you!

“Sue's years of experience shined through. She intuitively knew what to do to keep my kids engaged, even taking them outside for a bit of fun. She held and spoke to them with care, as if she had known known them for years.”

Chloe $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Chloe, I'm 26, and I have 10+ years of childcare experience. I offer childcare, pet care, and household services. I really enjoy building connections with both kids and their families. I started babysitting when I was about 12 years old, and have been nannying/babysitting off and on ever since! I have had responsibilities such as diaper changing, engaging children in developmentally appropriate activities, school/homework help, and practicing emotional regulation. I also have experience as a household assistant, with duties including errands, household organization, meal prepping, laundry, and pet care. In my free time I enjoy playing with my dog, knitting, scrapbooking, and watching movies with my friends!

Hello I am from Brazil, I came here to the USA through an exchange program to learn a new language and new culture. I am passionate about what I do, I love travel, photography, painting, and books. I cared for children of various ages and assisted with feeding, dressing, and daily activities. I believe in creating nurturing, safe environments to promote emotional, social, and intellectual growth. I provided safe transportation to and from activities and events. My strength is to engage with children on an individual basis to build positive, trusting relationships. I don't mind supporting household operations by completing laundry, cooking meals, and performing light cleaning.

Naomi $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Kirkland, WA

Hi my name is Naomi and I'm new to the Seattle area ! Originally from Spokane, I'm the middle child of 9 siblings, so I'm all too familiar with raising, watching, and caring for kids. There's nothing like the joy that children give and I am so eager to be a part of a family, since I sadly moved away for mine to pursue my career. I am a DJ and have DJed for about 5 years now doing a variety of different events. This profession keeps my days completely open and are waiting to be filled up ! I played college basketball and sports have always been an integral part of my life, I love to play, read, and learn; and indulge in anything creative. Whether it's music, drawing, painting, photography or fashion, my gravitation to the arts remains in my admiration for art and beauty in general. My goal for your children is to enhance their love for life and appreciation for what's around them through organic human interaction and care.

"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."
