Booked by 6 families in Kirkland, WA

Hi there, My name is Selay. I’m 30 years old and originally from Turkey. Spending time with babies and children is a true passion of mine. It brings me great joy to witness their curiosity as they explore the world around them. Caring for children has always been an important part of my life, not just as a job, but as a natural part of my family life as well. As the eldest child, I took on caregiving responsibilities at a young age. While my parents were working full-time, I was closely involved in caring for my younger sister from the time she was a baby, and I also helped look after many of my cousins. Growing up surrounded by children taught me so much and shaped me in many positive ways. I came to the United States as an Au Pair. I worked with the same family for three years, and during that time I also had the opportunity to work regularly with other families. Through these experiences, I have cared for children of nearly all age groups, including newborns. Over the past five years, I have developed extensive experience providing attentive, nurturing, and safe care for newborn babies during their most delicate and important early stages. With my current family, I began caring for their baby when he was just 1.5 months old, and we have been together throughout his entire growth journey. He is now 2 years old, and as he will soon be starting daycare, I am looking for a new position. My experience with newborns also inspired me to deepen my knowledge through professional training. I have completed birth and postpartum doula training, which strengthened my understanding of newborn care, postpartum support, and the emotional and practical needs of families during the early months. I am also currently completing Montessori teacher training. This has helped me better understand child development, independence, respectful caregiving, and how to create an environment where children can learn and grow at their own pace. Through all of these experiences, I’ve come to realize how fulfilling it is to work with children of all ages. Teaching them while also learning from them is truly a magical experience. If you’re interested, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I would love to talk about how I can support your family. Thank you, Selay

“Selay was great - she showed up on time and had great energy with our kids. Our kids enjoyed time with her and she put our kids to bed smoothly so we got to enjoy a quiet home when we came back!”

Lily 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am the eldest dayghter, of 6 to be precise :) I have always loved kids, however working in childcare has really deepened my sense of passion in proving a nurturing place for children to flourish. I have been professionally nannying for just under 2 years now and have worked with all ages, ranging from 6 months to 17 years old - all which have left me with wonderful memories and new information. I have an eye for household management, as it was a former career, and I am currently working on a degree in nutrition food and exercise. As I consider myself highly active, I love being in the gym - whether that means natures gym, like the mountains on a hike, or physically lifting weights - and enjoy feeding my body in ways that can support my health and strength. Cooking is my pastime, as well as hanging with my two cats and pup. Puzzles, art, and music are ways I keep busy when my brain needs an extra push :)

“Lily is absolutely incredible. She pours her heart into everything she does and always strives to be the best version of herself. Her kindness and warmth make her such a likable and approachable person, and she has an amazing way of connecting with people. She’s especially wonderful with kids—patient, fun, and full of positive energy. Whether she’s tackling a challenge or just being her sweet self, she shines in every way. Anyone who knows Lily is truly lucky to have her in their life.”

Hi! My name is Gabriela, I’m 26 years old and I love working with children. I’ve worked as an Au Pair, nanny, and daycare assistant. I speak English, Portuguese, and a little Spanish. I enjoy outdoor activities, gardening, cooking, board games, I have experience with bedtime routines, cooking, and basic culinary courses.

I had wonderful experiences with all of them, and both families I worked for are available to provide reference calls if neede

Hi, I’m Sammie, and I’m currently offering childcare as well as assistance with household services and pets. I currently work as a teacher at an outdoor school. I have two years of experience as a preschool teacher in an outdoor preschool, and have been working with kids as a teacher, tutor, babysitter, and guide for over ten years. My style of teaching and babysitting is child lead, informed by kids interests and passions. I obviously love involving outdoor play, but also love art, cooking, and other kinds of projects as well.

“She is calm and cheerful and my kids love her! She approaches them at their level and gets them to open up, and they are comfortable with her. Would definitely hire her again.”

"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."
