Ainsley $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a student at Cal Poly Slo with previous childcare experience. I worked as a childcare attendant & teacher at Pro Club Bellevue, and am CPR & first aid certified. I love working with children and finding fun ways to spend a day with them. I love to get creative! Creating an enjoyable day for the kids is just as fun for me. From my time at Pro Club I am an excellent multitasker - watching 15 kids at once is no joke. I am happy to do other household errands and chores, and I am available any time. In a job, I am looking for something around 20-30 hours a week and for the summer.

Aslı $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Asli and I'm currently living in Seattle. I offer child care, senior care, and household services. I absolutely love being a babysitter! I've been caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 12. Additionally, I work as a household assistant, offering services like cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I have experience taking care of my own cousins so I’m comfortable with child care tasks such as cooking and other daily tasks. (I’m also an excellent bridge partner!) I’m a big fan of cats and I’m happy to work with families who have cats.

"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."
